PeeWee Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) It's not about badge, it's about capability!And stability for me too. I don't trust AMD with my studio these days, for an internet browsing everyday machine fair enough and imo not in a laptop.

Simonez Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 coding and gaming and my AMD FX performs great love the banter between amd and intel boys, LOL both do great things, all down to personal preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Got to say after doing some research I've been well and truly swayed over to the intel camp now. An AMD chip that looks fantastic on paper (4.0GHz quad core 4300) gets shat on by dual core intels that dont even have hyperthreading. And the 4.0GHz 8 core gets shat on by many many intels even low spec i5s. So my next machine wil be featuring a 3570K i5. And anyone who's looking to buy cheap should just buy the best intel they can afford, even the non i series dual cores are very good (and they can be had for fifty quid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD Athlon 2 X3 425 O/C to 3x3.0GHz vs Intel Pentium G850 2x2.9GHz And its the same story comparing the FX series AMDs againstintels which are "on paper" worse Edited January 31, 2013 by Craig855S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How often do you reckon the CPU is actually the bottle neck on these 'real life' scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
