Hello, I would like to buy a gaming PC that isn't too expensive, so I am leaning towards AMD and Radeon. But before placing an order, I would like to know how much an AMD A10-7860K Black Edition (3.6 GHz) is equivalent to.
Here is the configuration I would like to buy:
Processor = AMD A10-7860K Black Edition (3.6 GHz) = €116.50
Motherboard = Gigabyte F2A88X-D3HP = €89.80
RAM = DDR3 Ballistix Tactical, 8 GB, 1600 MHz, CAS 8 = €59.90
Graphics card = Gigabyte Radeon RX 460 WindForce OC, 2 GB = €119.90
Hard drive = Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1 TB = €56.80
DVD drive = Cheaper
Power supply = Corsair CX500, 500W = €69.90
Case = Cooler Master N300 = €49.90
OS = Windows 10 = €124.90
PC assembly option = €39.90
TOTAL = €724.00

Nothing at all...
There is "raw" performance and performance in use (especially with software optimization), as in gaming.
In this case, benchmarks clearly show that at "equivalent" configurations, some low-end Intel processors outperform relatively expensive AMD ones.
To give you an idea, the most powerful current FX is outperformed by a simple i3 6300 in gaming on the latest recent and "benchmark reference" games... while the FX costs more than the i3. ;-)
And, in raw performance: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD+A10-7860KvsIntel+Core+i3-6300+%40+3.80GHzvsIntel+Core+i5-6600K+%40+3.50GHz/2722vs2621vs2570
It is clear that Intel processors perform better on "single thread/core", meaning one core only... and they also perform better on multi-core tasks.
So... there you go :-)
