Which is better: AMD Phenom Quad Core P920 1.6 GHz or Intel Core i5-430M (2.26GHz)?

The i5-3470 beats the 4.0ghz fx-8350 in performance for both gaming, and multi-threaded tasks like video editing, and etc. its also cheaper, and uses less power >. The i3-3220 beats the fx 8150 in gaming performance, but not multi-thread performance. So that means it will also beat the 6000 for gaming, but again not for multi-threaded performance.

Its not that amd cpus cant play games, or cant max games or anything. It maybe only be like 2-5 fps in the difference in cpu performance between the intel and amd cpus. BUT since they are better in every way, and cost the same (if not cheaper) then those amd cpus, why buy amd... 2-5 fps at a equal or cheaper price?

Also pci-e 3.0 will also add more of an fps difference especially when running multi cards or a high end card. EDIT: people below are just amd fanboys... they are just like "derp amd has more cores, that means they are better zomg derp" games only use 2 cores, having more does literally nothing for performance.... the 3rd gen intels are the ONLY cpus that support pci-e 3.0... even with a 912830981374028508 ghz fx-8350, you still will be bottlenecking a gtx670 with pci-e 2.0 bandwidth.... benchmarks don't lie, especially when EVER SINGLE intel benchmark in real life performance (not using benchmark software) beats amd cpus of similar price, or even higher priced amds... amds only win in benchmark software, but how does that help you in any real life applications >. Maybe when amd stops focusing on scamming stupid fanboys with paper specs like "more cores", they will actually be good again... and all the amd fanboys overlook amds best gaming cpus completely >.

The amd A8/A10 are FAR better then the fx-8350 or any other FX series in gaming. They are also cheaper, run cooler, use alot less power... (that really shows how ignorant amd fanboys are, they don't even look at all the amd cpus....).

The fact of the matter is unless its a phenom ii don't buy it I am using amd fx8120 the fact is there cheap but theres a good reason im using alot more electric then I should need too thus I am not even going to build a amd pc ever again due to the fact if you want a energy saving pc i5 is the way to go the i5-3350P is the cheapest were I am in the uk at the moment on scan.co.uk this is a simple processor its a cut down i5 slightly no intergrated graphics and a smaller cache this doesn't hinder performance to badly in games infact it handles games well due to being at 3.10 ghz the main reason the fx series fails is just bad designing of there techology it is inbetween a athlon x4 and a phenom ii in gaming performance this is due to windows 7 doesn't reconise it 8 does a lil bit but this is only a 15 percent boost putting it closer to the phenom series with a upped cache overclocking seems no good as the techologhy today reconises the duel cores which is 3 in the 6100fx as a single core.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
