what's going on guys Jase two cents here bringing you a new and updated version of Intel versus AMD for gamers and what to buy if you guys are in the market for a brand new processor for your gaming PC or maybe you're just looking to upgrade now the last time I did this it was 2012 and since then we've had some refreshes on various CPUs and chips and things so uh you know it's a my goodness where to start with this it is a very very debated topic on which is better for gamers AMD or Intel and you know what whether you like AMD or whether you like Intel I think the bottom line is that you guys are right both chips are great at what they do Intel tends to be a little bit more expensive and AMD tends to have a bit more bang for your buck there's no doubt about that but when it comes to i7 versus the FX 8350 or something along those lines you know the only place now I've owned both of these chips I've owned the FX 8350 overclocked to five point one four gigs at its highest and stable benchmarking it at that speed and I'm currently using a 3770k overclocked to four point eight gigahertz day-to-day usage now you guys know I do a lot of rendering and things when I'm doing this whole YouTube thing and so I really pushed these processors to the limit and sometimes for extended periods of times of 2025 minutes worth of rendering at one time and I can tell you right now one of the most wasted changeovers I ever made to my PC was switching from the 8350 to the Intel 3770k now why do I say that why do I say it's wasted well when I made the change I paid for everything out of pocket I mean I did I wasn't getting product sent to me so I wasn't talking out of a biased oh well you know eight Intel's great because it was free haha no I paid out of pocket to make that switch and it cost me well to go with my asrock a Oh CC 77 formula board yeah that was over two hundred and 230 bucks and I paid mmm about three hundred bucks for my Intel so we were talking well over five hundred dollars once you take tax into account and I moved for my 8350 which was my crosshairs formula crosshair five formula from Asus Republic of gamers line and the 8350 which was overclocked to five point one four max and again I ran that at four point eight day-to-day doing all my tests and things and all my overclocking and all of my rendering and gaming and you know the only place that AMD lost was in benchmarks and in gaming and gaming yeah you made there may have been a couple of frames per second difference but really it was negligible it wasn't even noticeable to your human eye because we were talking you know somewhere in the neighborhood of like right now I'm playing battlefield 4 in this commentary ultra settings everything is maxed out as high as it can go msaa and be inclusion everything maxed out and I'm getting I think I was getting about 90 frames per second right now when we were playing and an AMD I haven't used my AMD on be up I didn't use I didn't have bf4 when I have my AMD rig however my brother-in-law just upgraded to the 8300 series FX a core and I can tell you right now there is no difference I mean we have the same graphics card both of GTX 680 s hacked and overclocked and custom BIOS so they're really really comparable and you know what that's really the only thing I can say when it comes to the two is that the only place the differences really show are on the benchmarks now who cares about benchmarks unless you're in it you're an overclocker and you're looking to compete and go to competitions and things like the OC overclocking event oh into at CES you know you're not going to notice this so if you're looking at building yourself a gaming rig I see no reason why you should overlook AMD now at the same time this doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Intel but what it does mean as consumers and as gaming rig builders you should really consider AMD for the simple fact that you're going to get very close Intel performance in real world application what I mean by real-world is right now while we're playing this game you're not going to notice five frames per second difference you're not going to notice that Intel may have scored a little bit higher on the physics then AMD and AMD I mean you know CPU can do physics I well that's a whole different conversation but anyway I digress you're not going to notice the difference enough to warrant paying AI extra 100 150 dollars for an Intel build now if you're considering going AMD FX series or like an X 79 platform got the price difference it's just so different between the two there is just I mean we're talking more than double the price even to go with the lowest and x79 even if you're staying on the Ivybridge platform or the sigma the sandy bridge-e platform like the 3930k or something like that that's a whole different ballgame and I can't even begin to justify that in fact the x79 platform isn't even something that would really be suited towards gamers in my opinion anyway it's more towards renderers and graphics artists and photoshop and things like that that become really intensive where you need all 12 threads that CPU the X 79 platform can offer if you happen to go with a six core CPU anyway with those with the Intel line but again I'm getting a little bit off topic here if you are right now considering building a computer and you are torn on whether or not to get AMD or Intel my official two cents and J's two cents is saying it here today going with AMD is not a mistake in fact I've already said it in this video going from AMD to Intel was a costume mistake I gained like I gained some points in 3d mark and I gained some Cinebench score and things like that but I didn't gain anything in the real world in fact when even when it comes to rendering my 8350 had no problems whatsoever rendering in real time I mean I was able to render video if it was a ten minute video and it had all kinds of transitions and effects and stuff I could still render the video in ten minutes sometimes 11 depending on how many overlays I had but the bottom line but the bottom line here is AMD is a great contender and I'm talking specifically with the FX line mostly because I have not gotten a chance to use Kaveri mmm it's not even really out yet I'll probably get an opportunity to do something with Kaveri I'm sure I've got some motherboards that are gonna be on their way and and maybe we can put the can very to the test against the 40 60 70 K the i5 I have in my test bench but guys if you're building a system do not overlook AMD do not listen to the haters and the fanboys out there telling you that AMD is garbage because you know what the reality of it is you're not going to notice the difference you're going to save yourself some money that you can drop into higher quality components where it does matter for gamers like your graphics card and you can get a higher quality memory or even a motherboard with a little bit better features maybe a little bit better built-in sound card so Intel versus AMD I'm saying it right now there's nothing wrong with Intel and there's nothing wrong with AMD I'm using Intel doesn't mean I won't use AMD in the future you're not going to notice the difference ignore the fanboys save some money on your cpu go with an AMD FX 8350 even at FX 6300 or 6350 it's going to be more than enough for gaming battlefield 4 is using all eight threads available to it but you know this is just the beginning computers are going to start using more threads as time goes on which means the CPUs are going to start becoming more and more optimized towards gaming which means that the FX 8350 or the six core and eight core am DS are going to become much better utilize which is why they're becoming a much better player in the gaming market so in conclusion because I'm once again losing my voice because I haven't talked as much since I came back from CES though God do not overlook AMD ignore the haters ignore the fanboys and please ignore those who definitely have no first-hand experience my first-hand experience is telling me to tell you to consider AMD for a gaming build that's the bottom line there's nothing wrong with Intel it's a little bit better on some of the higher performance tasks like rendering and 3d imaging and things like that but you know what most of you that are watching this video right now and if you're getting this information and you're listening to it right now you're not going to be doing that kind of stuff and so you can save yourself money guys has been Jays two cents thanks for listening to this video if you liked it you sure as hell know what to do and if you didn't like it please mash that dislike button believe it or not it helps I'm gonna get on out of here guys and as always I will see you in my next video
