As a general rule...
AMD is generally slower, with more cores. Its by design. Their philosophy is that the speed of a single core is less important than doing concurrent operations. This will not change when they finally release their Seattle Fabric.
That said, they are right or wrong depending on the application. Some applications are more horizontal (can handle lots of concurrent operations in issolation) while some are more vertical (lots of processes that depend on the output of other processes). If your usage is more vertical, you will want those earlier threads finishing faster to get the later threads processing. Therefore Intel will beat AMD, badly. On the other hand, lots of processes, not having to wait, tips the performance scale more into AMD's favor.
Looking at both, I find on the whole, Intel's approach tend to be the better one for most individuals.

So far the AMD solution is 8 cores not 4. and AMd seems to be doing better in Ram performance heavy applications. other than that the Intel is doing better.that being said I have been getting a great experience from my hex core 1090T and the price difference seems to be well worth it.On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 1:47 PM, der.hans <PLUGd@lufthans.com> wrote:
moin moin,
need to get a new desktop. But, since it's me, it'll have external storage
and other things that are abnormal today :).
Currently comparing two boxen with 4 core, 8 thread CPUs. One is the AMD
FX-8350, the other is the intel i7-4820k. Any opinions on how they
compare?
ciao,
