AMD, Intel... What's better?

FYI , I have Quad Core A10 6790k @ 5.0GHz , it's not much faster than G3258 in PC games , not faster than my dual core 4 threads i5 4300M @ 3.2GHz when i encode video . Current AMD Quad Core is actually not a true quad core unlike their older Phenom II products . Current AMD Quad Core is based on Piledriver architecture which consists of so-called "modules" . Each of the two modules integrates 2 integer units, but only one FPU . It's not exactly the same as Intel Hyperthreading but the fact is : 8 cores FX 8350 is slower than 4 cores 8 threads i7 4790k in most tests
It's sad but current AMD Quad Core is only on par with an i3 Dual Core 4 threads . If you want a true Quad Core , get an i5 4460 or better CPU
