Crysis 3 is an example of how well AMD CPUs perform with well optimized engines

 Cryengine 3 with Crysis 3 is capable of using 8 core processors well, and it shows. I think this trend will continue as more engines will be capable of using multiple cores better, especially considering the next gen consoles are using an 8 core x86 AMD chip

I'm starting to see a brighter future for AMD now that they are developing x86 cpu's for the PS4 and possibly the next Xbox.

And here I am getting my ass kicked with my phenom II 965 :P

No deeplinking please.

No a10 APU benchmarks?? or are they really that bad>?

All i see is intel at the top. and yes deeplinking pweeez

I see that. my concern would be missing out on frames and bottlenecking the gpu. i dont mind waiting to save some cash

those won't really appreciably lower in price ever.

No not lower in price. I will wait longer to save more money to buy the non-bottlenecking cpu

You are now aware that GPUs improve faster than CPUs

Woooooooh... Look at those FXs.

[QUOTE="horgen123"] Kinda want the 3930K... Might go for something like that when I upgrade my CPU. mitu123

[QUOTE="2ndWonder"]Probably. I can get a 3770k for $219 at the one near me. 3570k is still $170 to.mitu123

yup over 1/2 off every CPU. It was 290 when on the market it was nearly 700. Makes it difficult to even think about going to AMD in that situation.

Great post Ferret! I was wondering about Crysis 3 benchmarks. It's amazing that a $200 CPU is getting close to a intel CPU that cost's nearly 3X as much. Hopefully more games will take advantage of 8 cores. Don't forget that next gen consoles will use AMD CPU and GPU which means it will be optimized for AMD CPU's and AMD's GCN GPU architecture. That's why my next CPU and GPU will be AMD. AMD desperately needs to make inroads against intel and nVidia to generate much needed cash.

I guess we have Crytek to thank for optimizing Crysis 3 for newer AMD CPU's. Can't say the same for other developers. Good on them though.

 I would also like to see AMD do well, though.
