EtherealN Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Intel, hands down. More like hands tied behind the back and feet in cement... Sadly. As an old AMD fanboy the decline is a bit painful to see to me, but the simple matter is that except for some very specific applications (like some types of server loads) not even the pricetag rescues AMD anymore. :( (Well, except for when you need a CPU/GPU combo that actually gives you decent gaming graphics.) This might change in the future though, I'm led to understand that some of the bigger problems with AMD's newer stuff is that Windows doesn't handle the relatively "weird" architecture right, so a lot of potential gets lost due to bad thread scheduling. But for now, Intel is where you want to go for gaming.

Hamblue Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I'm hoping that AMD or someone will put something out in the future to get intel to step it up. Lately they've been slowing down with development. The last 2 genterations of chips are close in speed. Concentration has been made on shrinking die sized more which is good but innovation is nothing like when the 2 were neck and neck. Asus Sabertooth P67 Motherboard 2600k CPU, 16 gig DDR3, 1600.

EtherealN Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Hm, well, not sure I agree there. Intel has always followed the "tick-tock" model, where they first release a new architecture on an old process node, and then shrink it. In fact, they did more than usual with Ivy since they also switched to a wholly different type of transistor as well as implemented PCIe 3 on-die. I agree the performance increases didn't turn out to be huge, but die shrinks have never been huge in that department. They've usually been more about efficiency (and Ivy does well there as long as you don't do the ultra-overclocks).

EtherealN Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Let's put it like this: AMD's latest CPU's, the ones that are currently marketed, are actually worse for games and most definitely DCS than the Phenom II's that were released in 2009... (Hurts to say that - I used to be a diehard AMD fan back in the days, but it's not looking good for them nowadays and the Bulldozer architecture is an epic disappointment. :( SUPERB for integer-heavy server applications though.) If you want value, purchase a value-range Intel CPU. Even with overclocking the AMD CPU's will be a disappointment - and the Intel K-series CPU's are equal and better than the AMD ones in overclocking anyhow. (Only difference is that there's no K-series parts in the lowest price ranges for Intel processors.)

With emphasis on AMD Phenom X3 8750 or better; it appears its a typo unless the exact CPU can handle DCS, which you guys seem to contradict ATM.

EtherealN Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 The recommendation is not "this will run DCS perfectly at highest settings in all battles". The basic System Requirement is "if you don't have this, don't expect it to run at all and we are not responsible if it doesn't work". Recommendation is "to have fun, we recommend you have at least this". An AMD Phenom X3 8750 can handle DCS, no-one has contradicted that, but you'd not max the game with it. (And buying one of those is bad value today.) The CPU's you have listed, the best value would be the i5-3570K, IMO. It's not terribly expensive, overclocks fairly well, has PCIe3 natively on-die, a better on-die GPU for whenever that is desirable (can be used for video encode/decode etcetera), compared to i5-2500K. Also costs roughly the same as the AMD FX chip, which the Intel chip absolutely destroys in general gaming, most productivity applications, and definitely in DCS. The difference between them in pretty much anything except pure integer crunching is rediculous. (The Bulldozer architecture failing to deliver is a big reason why AMD is finding itself bleeding money and having to sack 20% of it's workforce. There's even rumblings about them deciding to throw in the towel as far as the desktop performance segment goes.) The only thing the Bulldozer has going for it is that it has a better integrated GPU on it than the Intel ones, but since you'll be using discrete graphics this is irrelevant. (And that iGPU wouldn't do the job very well anyhow.) When the FX-8150 is labeled as an "8-core" that is a bit of a marketing move. It has eight integer cores, configured in four pairs of two (termed a "Bulldozer Module") which share FPU, prefetch/decoder etcetera. Add to this that Bulldozer is a "speed-demon" architecture where high clock speeds (well, not really) are achieved through employing a rediculously long pipeline and not much work done in each of those clocks... and things start looking bad. Quite simply, there is no reason to consider the AMD stuff for gaming right now, with the only exception being things like ultrathin laptops where you want limited gaming capability relying on the iGPU only (because AMD have better iGPUs than Intel). Even in the lower segments you will routinely see even 2-core i3's performing equal-or-better than AMD quads.

At this rate by the time you are satisfied with all your selections the answers to what is best are apt to change once again. No matter what you get it will not likely be better then what is to come but that is always true. Search for the best value for the dollar. That is the best approach in general. Intel over AMD? Yes.

Paganus Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I was a big proponent of AMD back in the day also. After reading this statement from the CEO, I will not buy another AMD PC processor until this new philosophy changes. The company's CEO has taken AMD on a transitional path that appears to be more disruptive than any other event in the company's history, especially in light of the ongoing change in executive management. There is no interest at AMD to continue a processor war with Intel that has lasted decades, but only rewarded AMD with occasional superiority. “That era is done,” Rory Read said in an interview and added, “There’s enough processing power on every laptop on the planet today.” Uh oh. Those quotes leave room for speculation that is significant enough to upset an entire loyal customer base of enthusiast users and may not have been the smartest choice of words. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-intel-cpu-apu-processors,15741.html
