[HELP] Which is a better CPU? I NEED YOUR HELP.

[BlondeMoey]

I've got a i5 3470 3.2hz

if i buy this cpu: AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8350 4.0Ghz

which is cost $225, is it ALOT better then mine and worth the price?

Intel>AMD.

[HalfBajan]

Depends what you're looking for in a CPU, I'd get the 8350, or even the 8320 (I have one)
After market cooler + 8320 = 8350
I have my 8320 watercooled running at 4.2ghz and it's doing me well.

Intel>AMD.

Complete fanboyism

I browsed them on CPU benchmark

CPU Name	Passmark CPU Mark (higher is better)	Rank (lower is better)	CPU Value (higher is better)	Price (USD)

Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.20GHz

6579

151

34.76

$189.29

AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core

9051

64

45.26

$199.99

So go with the AMD FX

Firstly could all the retards stop posting dumb shit?
Secondly this is the wrong section.

And to answer op's question i would first like to ask what you plan to do with it?
Do you feel that you current cpu isn't fast enough? Because your cpu should hold up very well with most current gen games unless you plan to crossfire/sli which in that case the amd won't be enough either.

So before we answer your question op. What do you plan to do?

Definitely the FX-8350

well right now, i got i5 3470 3.2ghz. and i lag while streaming... i got a gtx 760 2gb OC still lag.

im thinking to pay $299 for a new AMD CPU BELOW.

AMD FX-9370 Black Edition (Base: 4.40GHz, Boost: 4.70GHz, 16MB Cache, 8 Core, 220 Watts, Includes Liquid Cooling Kit)

is it worth it?

AMD sucks at single core processing.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, THIS IS 8 CORES!

[Shadeyz346]

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, THIS IS 8 CORES!

Do you know what the fuck is single core processing?

totally yes 100% worthy
that cpu is hardcore on multitasking

AMD is the better choice, trust me.

If you're video processing, stick with Intel. If you're gaming, then AMD may be the better choice. Either way it would be an upgrade, though.

Be mindful that those AMD CPUs when oc'd (often automatically oc'd to some degree by the mobo) can hit close to 200W, where your current CPU is stock at 77W, and might get up to 85-100W if your mobo oc's it. So you'll need to make sure: 1) your power supply can handle the new load, approximately 50-100W higher than your current load; 2) your case has good circulation and/or you have a good heatsink on it so it and your other parts, like your vid card, aren't overheated. Most likely the power issue will be ok unless you bought a cheap pre-built that comes with a PSU barely able to push the initial required load, but it's wise to double check each rail's capability on your PSU. All in all though, I'd probably recommend Intel, as right now they generally have the best per-dollar value chips and potentially could reduce your electricity bill by $50-100 per year if you game a lot and leave your computer on 24/7. If you don't pay for your own electricity, maybe you could "encourage" your parents to financially help out with the energy saving Intel CPU and get a i7 4770k instead

There is a whole section dedicated to computer hardware talk. Might want to check it out and post there instead next time.
