The i7 was a lot better for gaming than the 8350 was at the time. Hell, an i3 was better at the time. The 8350 was priced accordingly. There was no price advantage. What I'm saying is that AMD's design has aged a lot better.
- CarVac 10y agoHow exactly? I see the evidence of that happening with AMD GPUs versus Nvidia, but versus Intel processors? Can you explain?
- AnthonyMouse 10y agoWhen Bulldozer was released, most software only used one or two threads. Which meant that the 8-thread FX was slower than the 2-thread i3 because the extra threads did nothing and it had lower single-thread performance. Now that newer software is using more threads, the old FX gets a big performance boost while the old i3 is only the same speed it ever was.
- merb 10y agoAMD was cheaper (always) not better. You can be cheaper and worse and people will still buy the worse since it's cheaper even if price / quality on intel would've been better.
- tormeh 10y agoYou obviously haven't actually checked the prices.
