Should i change to intel? from amd

Hello my gpu is 7850 my current cpu 3.4 ghz amd phenom ii 965
here is a list of interesting cpus of intel and will they perfom better wtih 7850?
Intel Core i5 3570K (s 1155 , 3.4 GHz , 6 MB)
Intel Core i5 3550 (s 1155 , 3.3 GHz , 6 MB)
Intel Core i5 3470 (s 1155 , 3.2 GHz , 6 MB)
intel core i5 2500k
intel core i5 2600k
intel core i7 3770k
OR should i upgrade my phenom to
Amd piledriver 8350 CPU? and if u say intel please suggest me a new mainboard..

sure you might gain a few fps and loading times may be faster but imo it wont be money well spent

Not worth it

I went from a 955 to a 8350. Gaming experience is about the same, I get higher min fps though.

However, everything else, office apps, handbrake, cs6, vms. All run really fast. Faster than my buddies 2700k

For example the hard reset benchmark averaged 60 fps before and now averages 80 fps

AMD fans will never admit that getting an Intel cpu would be better, even after AMD's failure to consistently match Intel's performance from an overall perspective. The thing is, AMD isn't doing too well financially, and they will never be what they once were. If AMD goes down, the fanboy reaction will be the sweetest thing to watch. I'm telling you, these AMD fanboys would rather opt for an inferior product than support Intel or Nvidia. They console themselves by saying it's value for money. I've had first hand experience in this.

Don't be mad at my ability to encode video, watch a video, play a game and have 2 VMs open.

Quick sync is way too fast compared to handbrake's default presets.

AMD might be inferior to intel, but only in your fantasies will AMD ever be beaten by nvidia. AMD cards have been superior to nvidia cards for a long time now, and its the reason I always go with Intel and Radeon for my combos. Some people prefer the brand name of "nvidia", but for me I go for the better performing card at the best price, and nvidia has always lost that battle (except 1 time with the geforce 460, which I did purchase). Radeon is the only thing keeping AMD on life support, other wise they'd be buried in the ground by now.

To the OP: I say definitely the core i5 3570k is a great cpu, now doubt about i, go for it you will enjoy. However its not like you will be dissapointed with the fx-8350 pile driver either. I suggest going for the fx-8320 which you can OC to the same speeds as the fx-8350 but will cost $30 less or so.

Yes, Intel CPUs usually perform better.

For a new motherboard, you decide it for yourself. Just look for the correct socket between your CPU and the motherboard. For example, if your CPU is socket 1155, look for a motherboard that supports 1155 and it will fit in it.

With Trinity, AMD has an answer to Quick Sync with its integrated VCE, however the performance is hardly as similar as the concept. In applications that take advantage of both Quick Sync and VCE, the Intel solution is considerably faster.

And?

There is no reason to upgrade that CPU to anything. It should have no problems with any current game because games have gone no where.

I have an AMD Phenom X4 955 and I can run any game at high graphic settings, so with that said, I couldnt give a flying f**k what some benchmark says. Im sorry but I just find this whole fanboy attitude pathetic and childish. I mean when the times comes that I decide to upgrade my CPU/Mobo etc, then if a good Intel CPU came into my price range, then I shell purchase it, likewise with AMD. This entire forum is overrun by childish fanboyism, which is why if I need advice regarding hardware, I use other forums so that I can get advice from people who actually know their arse from their elbow!Chris_53

If you play bf3 and have a 120hz monitor, then yes go Intel.
on my laptop with a 2720ES, it turbos to 3.3ghz, in BF3 I get 120fps, but it can even dip to 75fps which is gross.

GPU usage is not maxed out, it's like 85%.
If I crank the res up to 1280x960 it's 100% gpu usage. I play at 1024x768 on my laptop, I'd play at 1280x960, but it's a bit slower than I'd like.

When BF3 slows down to 75fps, it feels really unsmooth.

On my desktop with a 2600k @ 4.6ghz, I get 200fps and it dips to 150, so it's always smooth.

BF3 is super cpu dependent.

Emmm, it's the VCE+GPGPU built into Radeon HD 79x0 not on AMD Trinity.

Intel Quick Sync and AMD 79x0 VCE+GpGPU covers both bases.

For example

AMD A10 Trinity APU vs Intel Core i3 3220 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JcA9W1xb0Cs#t=66s

To enable Radeon HD 77x0-to-79x0's VCE, the user would need Catalyst 12.7. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33991683

As a few others are saying, go with Intel. You don't even need to think twice about this. For now and the future, a Sandy or Ivy Bridge CPU will hold you for a long time. Also, disregard the usual pro AMD rhetoric from the fanboys who, as someone claimed, would rather inject bias in the hopes of deluding themselves that their processors are awesome, than admit inferiority to Big Blue.

I run my i5 2500K @ 4.7 GHz and it smashes any AMD processor in the face like Bane did to Batman during their first fight.

Honestly, you might be feeling indecisive now but you'll thank yourself later and never look back.

It depends on the workload. Ivybridge (Xeon)'s lack of FMA makes it less desirable for math related HPC servers.

PS; Most complied X86 desktop programs doesn't use FMA instructions.

Guys i have my 3770k somedays now the Speeds vs amd phenom/fx are incredible this processor is the best for me editing/rendering/gaming gg
the only problem is i need a decent cooler im using Stock intel's not good

My ram is corsair vengeance high profile so i was thinking of Noctua nh-D14 But i think i cant?
what u think about Corsair h70? i heard some leaking problems tho
Also do i need an ssd? my retail has a good price on this one http://www.e-shop.gr/show_per.phtml?id=PER.305128INTEL 520 SERIES SSDSC2CW120A3B 120GB SSD 2.5'' MLC RETAIL Thank you

The thing is, AMD isn't doing too well financially, and they will never be what they once were. If AMD goes down, the fanboy reaction will be the sweetest thing to watch. I'm telling you, these AMD fanboys would rather opt for an inferior product than support Intel or Nvidia. They console themselves by saying it's value for money.
