That was once. Even then, it appears that the FX-8150 CPU was at least in Battlefield 3 with the Intel high-end CPUs on an equal footing.
Now in Crysis 3 - finally - the AMD multi-core architecture has arrived in the actual time.
The AMD CPUs lead again, and not just in the price-performance ratio, but also absolutely.
The PC Games CPU Bench to Crysis 3 an Intel CPU suddenly is only faster than the FX-8350 CPU, namely almost 1000, - Euro expensive Intel i7 3960X CPU.
On a 2nd place is the more than 700, - Euro more favorable FX-8350 CPU.
Then come back a few i7 CPUs, but all still significantly more expensive than the FX 8350th The real value for money is then but the FX-6350 CPU.
What happened?
So far I have (and everyone else) about scolded that consoles pull down the PC versions of current games.
With the appearance of the Sony PS4 and Xbox 720, the game will change fundamentally.
Both machines come with AMD-octa-core and AMD GPUs.
So all upcoming next-gen console games will be optimized for AMD octa-core and AMD GPU shaders.
I look forward for AMD. And even more, I am happy for my investment. I, too, had had doubts, but as so often, you just have to wait a little longer ...
Clearest buy recommendation !!!
