So I'm building a computer and I want to know if this AMD processor is better than this Intel processor.
The AMD processor is the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 4.0 Ghz (turbo 4.2)
The Intel processor is the Intel Core i5 4670k
I'm pretty sure they both use DDr3 ram.
Are their sockets the same? If not, what is the AMD equivalent for Intel's LGA1150 socket?
On Newegg, the AMD CPU is cheaper than the Intel.
I also understand that this AMD CPU is better at specific things than the Intel and the other way around.
If needed, the things I do on the computer are web browzing, games (such as Roblox, Minecraft, or My Sims 3, My Sims 1, and Sim City), Microsoft Word 2010, I'll run Windows 7 Home Premium, and iTunes.
I also have noticed that the Intel CPU has GPU capability, unlike the AMD. However, I will get a graphics card, so that is redundant to me.
Finally, if the AMD CPU has the same socket as the Intel LGA1150 equivalent, is it possible to put the AMD socket on an Intel motherboard?
Thanks for answering! You are helping me out a lot! (This is my first build)
