i5 4440 vs FX-6300?

[vishu_ka]

What resolution are you trying to play at?

I have Intel HD 4600 [i5 -4570] and i can play Sleeping dogs @ 720p @ medium settings @ 30fps average
CS:GO, DotA maxed out 1080p no problem
Borderlands 2 medium settings 720p runs smoothly with 50fps

Vese toh i was thinking of 1080p but 720p will be fine for me till i get a discrete GPU!

i5 4440 is not missing anything.it has SSE4.1/4.2 & AVX 2.0.
ARK | Intel® Core
the only thing which it is missing is TSX-NI which has no real world advantage for any home/typical user.

So which one should go with 4440 or 4570?? (i have to throw extra 1.5K for 4570)

Is this calculation correct on POWER saving-
i5- 4(yrs) * 360(days) * 4(hrs avg daily usage) * 84(watts) = 483840Whr or 483.84KWhr
6300- 4(yrs) * 360(days) * 4(hrs avg daily usage) * 95(watts) = 547200Whr or 547.2KWhr

Saving = 63.36KWhr or around 64units ----> 64*5= 320Rs

If i m right then whats the bloody use!!??

forget about benchmarks & base your decision on how much your budget is & what your usage scenario is.if you play games most often & intend to get a graphics card in near future then get intel.if you don't know much about cores & multi threading or don't play/little gaming then get whatever is cheaper.if you care very much about multi threading & also know a lot about it get amd.

See as I have mentioned in my thread I want a moderate CPU to work NOT to game. I never play any games. So will pentium g2020 will suffice it or should I look for anything else.

I vote for i5 4430/4440 as there is no real world performance difference between 4430 and 4570.

why do you want to count psu usage ????

Coz if i save around 3-4K over 4-5 years then i will be going with i5 otherwise 6300 as i guess i wont be utilizing i5 to its maximum.
Career and marriage are biggest factor pushing me to stop gaming

for a daily usage of ~4-5 hours there won't be any significant power savings.for that you need to run your PC for at least 10-12 hours out of which 3-4 hours should be at heavy load(more than 50% cpu usage).for your needs FX6300+HD7770 is enough.

@URPradhan,for the usages you mentioned in your thread FX6300 is a better choice.Pentium G2xxx series is more suitable for a basic usage PC,multimedia PC or office work PC.for converting videos using handbrake FX6300 is much better.

Yes u r right, i was thinking of a machine which will be more future proof forgetting i myself wont have time for gaming and all in future! Its better that i go for 6300 but what about GPU- will HD 7850 or r7 260x will bottleneck??

 

[whitestar_999]

any recent processor with 4 cores or more will not bottleneck any graphics card at full HD resolution for at least a few years.

One last thing....... these mobo like GA-DS3 say they support crossfire so dont they support Nvidia cards and what about SLI?

 

[pavluv]

100% agreed with whitestar_999. there will not be any significant power savings. stick to FX6300+HD7770 combo. Its extremely unlikely you will face any bottleneck for a few years.

Rumor is that AMD will stop Fx series processors, so its not future proof. Even though I like Fx6300 I found its more difficult to find a better reasonable MB and GPU for it

 

[whitestar_999]

reason why some mobos only support crossfire & not sli & some support both:
Support for Crossfire but not SLI? - Support - Motherboards

Nvidia requires that each card in a SLI configuration has at least an x8 connection. Crossfire only requires x4. Motherboard makers can save some money by going for an x16 / x4 configuration, which will support Crossfire but not SLI. More expensive motherboards go x8 / x8 which allows for SLI and also provides better Crossfire performance.

this is applicable only for multi-gpu setup.for single graphics card there is no such limitation of mobo compatibility.

there is no such thing as future proof.FX6300 with its 6 cores is more than enough for a typical home user for at least next 4-5 years & by then every current intel/amd processor & mobo will be long gone.

Phasing out a product from production doesn't mean it will begin to bottleneck.

lol..... n1!!

when "Steamroller" and "Excavator" are in pipeline then i guess there is no way FX will discontinue! Don't know if next gen socket will remain same i.e AM3+

Thnx.... wow this was new about SLI! cleared a lot
