Come here Intel and AMD fanboys!

Eh. I'm not a fanboy of either chipset. I get what's in my price range. But you get what you pay for.

Intel CPUs are the fastest on the market. Bar none. Their high cost is the only problem to me. Even the CPU upgrade for my ASUS Republic of Gamers G60VX costs a little over 200, and it's kinda dated.

That said, AMD CPU's are the poor mans powerhouse. I mean that as it reads, power for cheap. However, the argument that "it has more cores therefore it is better" is bad and you should feel bad. I can take this dual core CPU in my laptop right now (it is an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13ghz and no overclocking) and it still beats some of AMD's latest quad chips.

There are pros and cons for both brands though. And when building your computer, you weigh them appropriately like any smart guy, building around your needs and your budget. But here, I'll spell it out for you.

AMD is cheaper than Intel.
Intel is more expensive than AMD.
AMD does have performance.
Intel's performance is just better.
AMD has had various issues with drivers.
Intel is pretty good about what they roll out, and roll out hotfixes that don't suck.
AMD builds as they go, but they're easy to overclock.
Intel builds ahead of the game; four processor series at once in the same chip or something like that. Overclocking may require slightly more effort.

But at the end of the day, it's all about what that motherboard you bought can use.

Call me a FanBoy and slap me silly, but i prefere cherry pie. And now to be seriouse, silly ol me and all my friedns build theyr own PCs, and if any human on earth that loves the games as much as i do will ask me what to buy i will say to get intel with a good VGA, but if someone that wont play games at all or maybe once a month some easy games i will say to get AMD with some onbord VGA, as it is way cheeper and more than enough to run internet and listne to music.

As far as I know most Games do not even support 4 cores...

Bulldozer/Vishera are not 8 cores, this was known day one when bulldozer shipped. Amd has driver issues and intel is good with that they roll out? Ya intel doesnt make a mistake http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-20030048-92.html - I guess you have information sony/microsoft/nintendo dont have,considering consoles are powered by amd. Same with steams Xi3

AMD cpus have a better performance/price score and AMD socket based motherboards are way less expensive as well. FRom my point of view, if you only use the pc for gaming, there is no point of buying Intel.

Ps4 uses an 8 core x86 AMD processor?Xbox 720 also?Most games that come to PC are console ports?So theoreticly all upcomming games should work better on 8350 than on intel's quad cores?These days games use GPU whole lotta more than CPU,so on high resolutions with high details,CPU is never a bottleneck.

Bitch please! Intel 4 life

amd less price less quality and crap drivers

I'm not sure whether the fact that this erupts into a flame war more easily than some of the politics- and religion-based threads that have appeared lately is more sad or hilarious. Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.
