Single core performance is what you want for gaming because 99% of all games only use 1 or 2 cores. The AMD FX chips have shit single core performance so they are shit for gaming. Hell a 45 watt Intel i7-3720QM quad core 2.60 GHz 3.60 GHz @ max turbo speed, Laptop CPU smokes the AMD FX chips in single core performance for fucks sake. My PC has a FX 8320 and the PC that I built for mom has a FX 8350. I had my 3.5ghz FX 8320 Overclocked to 5ghz and it helps alot but it was running a little warm in the summer months. I had it stable @ 5.3ghz but it was running really Hot. Max Temps on the FX chips is 61.1°C and I was easily hitting that benchmarking. I'm currently running it at this particular CPUs sweet spot of 4.7ghz. My core temps never go above 48c while gaming and up to 54c @ 100% usage while benchmarking. Thanks to a Corsair H115i with 4 fans in a push pull configuration. My next build will be with a $350 i7 8700k. Prices are dropping on them quite a bit since the i9s came out. If I ever win the lottery I'm going to build a new PC around an i9. Possibly an i9 9900k. I'm tired of the whole AMD CPU bottleneck thing that's always hung over there heads. I've always run AMD CPUs because they are what I could afford. Price vs performance has always weighed on my PC builds. With the price differences between 2 comparable CPUs, a Ryzen 7 2700x and an intel i7 8700k only being $40-$50 I'm going with Intel this time. The i7 8700k is also slightly faster than a Ryzen 7 2700x. hxtr 1 Awards

You want the best Single core performance CPU that you can get. Take a look at this list. Where are the AMD chips? Way down the list. Under about 50 Intel CPUs. And some are Are actually cheaper or around the same price. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html The best gaming CPU you can get is the i9 9900k. $579 Currently sold out. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117957&cm_re=i9_9900k-_-19-117-957-_-Product I Play the MMO game Guild Wars 2 every day. It's a poorly optimized game that only uses 1 core. With my system specs I should easily hit 150fps+ but I get a whopping 32-45fps and down to 8-9fps (on Medium settings) while trying to fight most of the World Boss monsters. I have an old Dell XPS 420 hooked to my TV that has a Intel Q6600 quad core and 4 gig of DDR2 and an old Nvidia 450gts 1g card. That POS gets the same 32-45fps But 28-32fps during the same boss battles. Edited October 29, 2018 by J3st3rXI Awards

They literally have 1/2 the Execution units of a quad core with hyper-threading. The CPU bottlenecks it's self when trying to run a poorly optimized program like most games are. A proper quad core will have 4 execution units (1 per core) where the Bulldozer has only 1 per every 2 cores then a Dispatcher or splitter. Basically 1/2 the throughput or bandwidth that it should have. Just very poorly designed. It does overclock like a motherfucker though. 3.5ghz stock and I've had mine to 5.3ghz. The AMD 8350 and 8320 hold the overclocking world records @ 8.794ghz (31 * 283.69 MHz) on a volt modded Asus CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z which is the same board that I am running. My CPU overclocked comes in very close to a Stock 2nd gen i7 2600k in synthetic benchmarks. But real world mine is a good bit slower in most single core applications. They fixed this issue with the release of the Ryzen CPUs. And No Doubt that They are damn good CPUs. I figured why the hell not go with Intel this time sense the price VS performance has become very comparative these days. Edited October 30, 2018 by J3st3rXI Awards

And I've built more pc's then I can remember. I've been planning a new game system and I did decide to go with Intel this time. And again, it is a performance / cost decision. Intel wins this time. The last Intel build was a i7-2700k rig, which I use in a DAW (digital audio workstation) PC. I built it in 2012 (I think). I do remember I dont like the way the Intel heat-sink attached to the motherboard. Real cheap locking mechanism. Anyone remember the magazine "Computer Shopper" ? What a big ass magazine it was !!!
