AMD FX-8150 Vs. intel i7 for gaming

troylmao · Dec 17, 2011

which processor is better for gaming?

Intel i7 3.4Ghz (turbo 3.8Ghz) 4 cores ( http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=187_346_1184&products_id=16416 )

or

AMD FX-8150 3.6Ghz (turbo 4.2 Ghz) 8 cores ( http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=187_345&products_id=18857 )

The i7, but I would go with an i5 2500k before the i7. Hyperthreading won't do any more good in games.

intel as long as budget can hold it. else, the amd chip is more economical

i5 2500 is cheaper better overall for gaming than FX-8150. You don't even need to buy i7 2600

If you want to go AMD look at the Phenom II 960T Quad-Core processor.

If you don't mind spending an extra $90 go with the Core i5 2500K processor.

lets see, he asked about the 8150 vs a i7, i think a 2500k is in his budget

If I were you, I'd choose I7 2500K for gaming as well as overclocking.

I5 2500k

Had to point that out
