Quote:Regardless of the performance improvements of the intel side, the AMD side allows for overclocking, easily outdoing the same level intel procs unless you grab and unlocked i5 or i7.You're underestimated Haswell CPU eh ?
AMD A10 5800k isn't good at overclocking . Afaik , you can OC 20% out of it (maximum OC 3.8->4.6GHz) . At 4.6GHz , it's still slower than Pentium G3220 3.0GHz in Dolphin . So what is the point of sacrificing stability ?
Keep in mind that A10 5800k isn't a true quad core processor . That's why , it's still slower than dual core i3 4330 @ 3.5GHz in multi-threaded benchmark
I3 4330 is 20% faster than Pentium G3220 . If the @OP didn't care about PC gaming performance , he could grab i3 4330 build
