You think it's just for shits an giggles that the 3 of us disagree?
1: Intel is overpriced.
Ohh really??. You can get the I5-4690K for the same price (or even slightly cheaper) than the FX-9590.
And the top of the line Intel Core i7-4790K devils canyon CPU for the 1150 socket can you get for 340.
2: lost "only" in single core.
You see, this as where you can easily tell how effective an architecture is. Single core tests are important as well.
The I5 takes a dumb on the AMD in single core rendering.
Not all programs can utilize 8 cores effectively. If you disabled 4 cores from the amd the I5 would win in most (if not all) rendering benchmarks. even if you only disabled 3 core on the AMD the intel would still win. I believe it would tie in at 4 intel cores vs 6 amd cores.
Benchmarks like cinebench are heavily multi threaded. So it really depends on how good the program is to utilize all the cores.
To be fair, most professional editing software are excellent at that.
But the piledrive architecture is still a piece of garbage. Only reason it's relevant is because it's cheap.
Why else does it take 4 extra cores and 800mhz each core to beat a I5-4690K?
Not to mention the heat issues and power usage.
That AMD is better than the i5! The new line in the FX series has VERY low heat issues, that's a thing of the past. AMD has come out with NEW technology, people just have a hard time accepting AMD is finally catching up! Everyone are just Intel fanboys, but really, AMD has become better and better, while still not on top they are getting close. The i5 beats the 6300 in single by very LITTLE. It does not even come close to " taking a dump " on the AMD. The intel won single core by .2 points! The AMD score was 7.8. The Intel score on that was 8.0! That is just barely winning by a hair. And power usage, really? lol.
