Okay so here is the thing. The current cpu i have is an AMD FX-8350 Vishera, and i would like it to go head to head with the Intel Core i5-4670 Socket LGA1150. The reason being cause in my canadacomputer store they are 5buks difference between the two, AMD 8350 being $195 and Intel i5 being $199. I was really debating which one i should get between the two since it was only 5buks difference, but then i started to see the type of motherboards it was coming with at the time which also effected for me in price. Intel having bit more pricier boards vs AMD. So that also changed my mind to get an AMD, and the cheap Intel boards that was upar price wise vs AMD boards only had like 2 ddr3 ram sockets to like one PCI express slot where has AMD boards had more features then that for the same price.
To keep this short i just want to know if i made the right decision overall? Cause gaming is my number one thing and games like BF4 to COD to Crysis 3 is what making me update my computer it order to play them at its fullest. So far i am able to play all the current games with my AMD 8 cpu, but wanted to know if Intel i5 4670 would have made a bigger difference? Plus also i like to multi task alot when it comes to using more then 1 program for video editing/ picture editing, and so far my AMD is giving me no issues on that part.
I also got AMD FX 8 chip cause of what Sony and Microsoft have invested in their current gen console systems, since both companies are using AMD 8 core chip. Isn't it a better investment to invest in a AMD fx 8 chip since the future maybe for multi threading gaming? Doesn't AMD win vs Intel i5 chip cause now game developers will use more multi threaded technology in order to make their games run better?
I don't like to favor one chip over another, but from all the online forms i been reading there are some hardcore intel fan boys that go nuts when ever any one says that AMD can be better VS Intel at times... I mean these guys just bash AMD like crazy. But reading all the online stats there isn't much difference between the two when it comes to this level of CPU performance. I am not fan boy of either of the two, i have both cpu multiple times over the years, and both served me well. Only issue i always have is Intel being more expensive, but as of now for the future of gaming it seems AMD 8 core seems to favor on that..
