Intel VS AMD

[droctogonapus]

There's nothing wrong with amd cpus.  Both intel and amd have there advantages and disadvanges.  I have an amd 6300 that has been working fine ever since i built my pc.  But I did have about a $600 budget.  If I had a bigger budget I would of gone with the intel 3770k.  I still have a pc with a intel celeron clocked at 1.4ghz or something and it still works perfectly fine.

Now i wouldn't mind getting the 3770k or even a haswell CPU when it comes out. But i'm awful at saving. Plus as i stated i don't believe in spending money for something i can get for cheaper elsewhere

@Dr_Dog, what are your gaming PC specs? or is it the same as the HD file server? by the way that sounds like a beast. Is it some kind on LAN? (local area network)

Intel=shit graphics, best processors.
AMD=best graphics, shit processors.

that sums it up

Intel Core i7-2600 QuadCore @ 3.4GHz
G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB 1600Mhz
x2 WD Blue 160GB raid 1 | 2x 2TB WD RE4
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77
XFX Radeon HD 7770 Double Dissipation Edition
Lian Li PC-P80

The file server runs freenas 8 with
dual Xeons 2.0Ghz quad cores
4GB of Kingston ram
Intel pro 1000 PT Quad port ethernet card.
Some old tyan motherboard.
Norco 4224
16x WD Black 1TB
6x WD RE2 2TB
Areca ARC 1680ix SAS controller - Probably most expensive part of the build apart from hard drives
Yes it is on LAN for now, But i belive i might even coloco that.

I have a laptop that has stuff in it to make it run, sorry for bursting your guy's bubble, get on my level of pc tech.

Nice. Bet that's gonna cost like what? £400?. That's the thing with Intel, they charge a chunk load of money for something you can get from AMD for a better price, and the only difference is like 10 FPS. Not worth the extra money IMO.

The thing is those 8 core cpu's will only scrape the surface of performing equal to an entry level i7.


Also that top of the line intel that was posted according to rumours will surface at about 209 pounds + VAT it might be more as they are only rumoured pricing. Probably Amazon and other places will have the prices for UK ready in late may

The shitposting has returned!

Anyways, AMD has been verified for shared resources of cores, they aren't completely separated, hence creating a bottleneck and lack in cache and computational power.

Also, clock speed means pretty much shit without the transistor count. You can overclock a Pentium 4 as far as you wish, but it still wouldn't out perform most of the processors today, even at a lower clock speed. Why is that? Transistors, mayun.

Also Intel > AMD.
If you can't afford it, you can't complain about it.
