Thanks for the reply. Does windows use 8 cores? My Dad's 4 core 3.7 ghz amd cpu seems faster at opening programs than mine.

I've got an 8 core amd cpu @ 4.7 Ghz. Is it possible that it could only be using 4 cores?

This is just compute FP32 performance.

So it means nothing then, it's insignificant?

The GTX 970 has 3.49 teraflops, the r9 390X has 5.6 teraflops.

As you can see here an AMD 4.0GHz 8 core loses to an Intel 3.5GHz 2 core (with HT).

That's probably in single core performance.

I'd rather have the build I suggested. Surely a 4.7 ghz 8 core is better than a 3.3 ghz 4 core. 16gb ram on my system, I think games will start using 16gb soon. 2 tb hard drive as opposed to 1 tb on your system. The only thing that's better on your system is the graphics card.

TMNT not the arcade game

Snake Rattle and Roll

Is this PC worth the money?

AMD 9590 8 core 4.7 ghz

Radeon r9 380 4gb graphics card

16gb 1866 hyperx ram

2 tb hard drive

price £884

This is a way for them to make more money, this will probably mean that the operating system you paid for will be locked to one PC, whereas when you had the disc you could delete it from one PC and install it on another one.

My kindle fire hd overheats and crashes when playing games, apparently this is a fault. It is within the 1 year guarantee. Can I demand a refund or can amazon choose to refund the money, repair or replace it?
