i7-4790k vs AMD-8350

[Tavan]

which one is better for gaming and streaming on the same PC?

i use OBS for streaming so it doesnt take up as many resources as Xsplit would.

the i7 easily

A easier comparison is which is better value for your money and what do you actually need?

For example this is what I'd recommend for gaming, streaming and video editing:

$1100~ Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 & GTX 970 gaming, streaming & video editing PC.

Base Total: $1214.90
Promo Discounts: -$30.00
Mail-in Rebates: -$90.00
Shipping: $1.49
Total: $1096.39

This is what I'd recommend for pure gaming and recreation:

AMD FX 8370 & R9 290X
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rove/saved/Fwjp99
Base Total: $1162.90
Promo Discounts: -$16.34
Mail-in Rebates: -$60.00
Shipping: $13.98
Total: $1100.54

Not to say one is incapable of the other or vice versa and personal taste comes into play also.

Just that the Xeon is a very reliable CPU that can't be overclocked and thus stand even less chance of breaking. Not that a AMD FX CPU is likely to break just that you are more likely to be able to break it than a Xeon as it is unlocked and thus inexperienced users can overheat it more easily if they change settings. Also Nvidia cards have Nvidia shadowplay and that WD-AVGP HDD has "silkstream" and other streaming features.

AMD FX 8350 if you plan on using a separate GPU and Since AMD FX series CPU's are geared almost exclusively for gaming it is much more affordable than a i7 4790K which costs twice as much. But if money isn't an issue and you want to give in to the hyped up i7 series then get that. The i7 is better if you plan on doing 3D design/modeling and intense video editing .

thanks for all the info, i think ill end up getting the i7, mainly because my computer is going on 3 years old and i already have the 8350, which will be going to my sister, so why not upgrade...am i right?

[ARmodder]

Well I have to say I don't get why you posted this if you already have the 8350 usually when you ask which one should I get, it means your looking at getting one or the other and you don't have either of them.

[Tavan]

cause then people would post....well, u already have an 8350, just keep it...instead of giving me the answer i want

[law-----]

i7-4790k is good for my opinion ! :)

If you already have a dedicated graphics card then getting an i7 4790k is pointless i'd get a FX 8370 Black Edition, after all why pay more for integrated graphics and better single core performance if your just gaming and streaming, this is just my opinion, why pay for something you don't need unless of course you plan on doing 3D modeling/design then I'd go with the 4790k.

i7-4790k (4th Gen PC) vs AMD-8350 (still 1st Gen PC)

For gaming purposes, the Intel i5 or i7 CPU is clearly the winner, AMD would be more suitable for just grunt work.

More than 2.8x better performance per watt, with 2.3x lower power consumption. Your'll also save money in the long run, spending less that half the cost on power usages for better results.

The CPU has already been maxed out, pretty much, so AMD adds more cores. However, most games won't use them all, they will just sit idle.

Intel next generation PCs have the motherboard + cpu working together. This means both will have to match, but results in less bottlenecking. Much more direct access from CPU to memory as well as CPU to graphical processing. This is much more ideal for gaming, specially because most games care more about the GPU. Just get a high-end quality graphics card with it!

ps: Above, i don't know why you would use a Intel Xeon as a comparison for gaming purposes. They are used for servers and heavy computing tasks. Again it's more suitable for just grunt work, not games.

It's called facts, look it up...

Not being a fanboy, it’s not that AMD doesn’t make capable gaming processors, it’s just that Intel offers the best all-around CPU performance and reduce bottlenecks where it counts more for gamers.

Tier 1 CPUs for gaming
- Intel Core i7-4790K
- Intel Core i7-4790
- Intel Core i5-4690K
- Intel Core i5-4690
- Intel Core i7-4820K

Tier 2 CPUs for gaming
- Intel Core i5-4590
- Intel Core i5-4460
- AMD FX-9590
- AMD FX-9370
- AMD FX-8350
- AMD FX-8320

Teir 3 CPUs for gaming
- AMD FX-6300
- Intel Core i3-4150
- AMD FX-6350
- Intel Core i3-4350

Tier 4 CPUs for gaming
- All AMD, as you would get more performance for your low/mid range budget

Who said otherwise? You? Give me one single link... I could give you a few million... It would entire depend on what your using the system for, but in this case it's gaming purposes - facts are facts, Intel will win there.

I believe that Intel updates it's motherboards for 2 reasons:

1. to provide chipset support for the newest generation of integrated graphics, AMD does this with it's APUs and so far has basically done the same as Intel except maintaining more backwards compatibility with it's old FM2 CPUs in it's new FM2+ motherboards.
2. to encourage people to buy it's newest CPU & motherboard together so people don't try and buy older CPUs with higher clockspeeds for cheaper and Intel has leverage to sell it's newest.

I don't believe Intel motherboards work with Intel CPUs any better or worse than AMD motherboards work with AMD CPUs. A motherboard and CPU is a motherboard and CPU. What they do beyond that is just a question of their features. I haven't heard of Intel advertising having any special advantage in motherboard/CPU integration or cooperation.
