We’d like to thank AMD, Intel, ASRock, Crucial, ADATA, EVGA and DeepCool for providing vital components without which this report would not be possible. The components we’ll be testing are the FX-8370 from AMD, and Intel’s current enthusiast flagship the Core i7 5960X, If you’re looking for max settings at 800×600-1024×768, you may want to stop reading now. So, today we’re going to be doing a real-world gaming test running a variety of popular games, across multiple graphics configurations with real-world resolution and graphical settings. Especially in the gaming communities where their lower prices should seem much more attractive to gamer’s on tight budgets. However, with all that said we still believe that AMD isn’t being given a fair shake. When it comes to raw CPU performance there’s no question that Intel’s newer manufacturing processes, and better overall IPC is definitely faster in the majority of tasks.

You might ask, why? – Well, that’s pretty easy, Intel is faster.

While there are users on both sides claiming their favorite brand is the best, we’ve noticed quite a bit more on the side of Intel. As a gamer and hardware enthusiast that spends a lot of time in various PC gaming communities, one of the longest on-going debates has been the best choice for CPU when it comes to gaming Intel or AMD.
