In terms of raw single-core performance the flagship AMD FX-8350 is lagging behind intel's processor line-up by over two generations. The PassMark Single Thread scores for the i5-2500K vs the FX-8350 are 1863 to 1520 which shows that in terms of raw per-core processing the FX-8350 is lagging the two year old i5 by 23%. Where the AMD FX makes up is on multi-core performance, with a score of 9156 vs 6745, the AMD leads the Intel 2500K by 36% making it the far more capable multi-threaded server orientated performer. The 8350 is also cheaper but significantly more power hungry which counts strongly against it as a server proposition. The FX-8350 could be a good fit for specific server use cases but for general consumer use, which is single and dual core intensive, Intel's two year old i5-2500K delivers better performance. [May '13 CPUPro]

The AMD A10-5700 is a quad-core Trinity APU (combined CPU and GPU) based on launched in Q4 of 2012. The A10-5700 is reasonably power efficient with a TDP of 65 Watts. In terms of performance the A10-5700 scores an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.4 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.0 GHz when needed and is sufficient for most generic desktop applications. The integrated HD 8670 Graphics are comparable to Intel's recent HD offerings. The A10-5700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4330 shows that the comparably priced 4330 is a far more compelling alternative given its almost outright advantage on every metric. [Dec '14 CPUPro]

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Best User Rated

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
