Who cares if the i5 2400 is better in Civilization V? It's just Civilization V!




http://techreport.com/review/23750/a...or-reviewed/14

Who cares if it's still behind in gaming? It's just gaming!
Article says it matches the Core i3-3225 in gaming.

However I've never seen anyone say the Core i3-3xxx series "is behind in gaming". One standard for Intel another for AMD.

One great thing about that review is it shows the Piledriver handily beat out the Phenom II in gaming, contrary to the misinformation FYFI13 said.

+1 for the article, it was an interesting read.

It's OK. I know you won't repond or reply to my request.
Sorry, i've been busy. I just tried to find that review and i can't, but i'm not surprised to be honest as i've spent almost all tuesday on reading reviews. I'll give another go once i'm home.

I think it's a close 2nd....you decided to take the #1 spot yourself!!



I think its pretty amazing, can't deny that those numbers are super sexxy. Too bad it would appear that performance is still behind Intel, and AMD's current growth pattern doesn't really show them catching up to Intel anytime soon....thus Intel will still be able to keep their prices up and do not necessarily have to become more competitive. This is why prices rarely vary away from the MSRP Intel lists throughout the lifespan of their products....So we lose as consumers, just saying....

FX 8350 is definitely an improvement over the FX 8150. This s positive and shows AMD is on the right track, we can only imagine the Steamroller to add to the performance.
