No. other way round lol.
For multithreaded applications AMD does win. #StudyDoneByMIT
source? as in article etc
Source? My friend dylan martin. Lol
No, AMD does beat intel at multi threaded performance. Intel rapes amd big time at single threaded performance. I don't think i'd need many benchmarks to prove that.
you are stating a point but refusing to provide a source?
I cannot be bothered finding one i'm in the midst of playing dota.
@DalekOfSkaro
Epic!
I would love something like that too, I will cancel some vps and some dedis for this
let me translate that for you.
i am talking bs and you are right Dan.
i would do any modern intel
with intel 4000 gpu series on board
then you can do gpu transcoding.
There are products based on i5 cpus which was able to put 25 concurent h264 streams on one small platform.

Has to be Plex. I can't stress enough using any other means of transcoding fails to meet the aim of the project.
With regard to the Kimsufi + VPS solutions, they're interesting, potentially workable, but ultimately when you factor in the price of a KS-1 + the cost of a VPS with enough cores from a provider who doesn't mind if you hit them 24/7, you're nearly at the price of a dedicated server anyway, so it doesn't seem worth the trouble.
Intel is better then AMD for pretty much everything other then multithreading/tasking. Hence I use intel in my PC. But don't be an intel fanboy, there is some things AMD is better at.
i am actually a AMD fanboy. but am just stating the facts lol, intel wins anyday..
amd let everyone down with the bulldozer crap.
Bulldozer was SHIT. Never get an FX 8120/8320 etc. FX 8350/9590 and processors like that, the 'piledriver' range is what i am refering to. Vishera.
Please keep the processor discussion in the cest pit
and that gives a 10-15% boost. nothing special.
Mhhh it does give it a large boost actually. Let me see if i can find some benchmarking graphs. The FX-8350 (piledriver) performs SIGNIFICANTLY better then the FX-8120 (bulldozer). And that's not overclocked. AMD is excellent for OC if you have the cooling.
AMD is a bad choice - Single CPU speed is higher on the paper (highest has 5Ghz) but the performance of this core is BARELY compareable to a 3.7Ghz i7/E3. AMD simple works different.
I know. But AMD is better for multi threading/multi tasking
but it's not.. benchmarks clearly show this fact
Yea it is not unless you have very specific situations where having a lot low speed cores has an advantage.
Low speed cores if not overclocked. I could easily raise the benchmarks by overclocking with AMD. A fantastic feature is that overclocking with AMD is an art. So you CAN have alot of high speed cores if you have the right cooling (eg liquid)
Have a look at Intel QSV?
That is not much different with Intel, a general i7 (2600, 3700) goes easily up to 5.5Ghz (Base 3.4, Turbo 3.7)
AMD holds the world record @ 8.5GHz.
lol, You had known that someone will ask this.
AMD's FX series has a much lower ipc(instruction per clock) than Intel's Haswell offering, so it loses a lot in single threaded performance and a lower clock of Intel CPU can win over AMD FX's high clock speed. However on the multithreading part, as 2 cores of the FX series will share one FPU(floating point unit), so if your application uses floating point calculation, it will be slower than Intel's offering. For integer based calculation, FX will win marginally depending on the application used but Intel's offering is not very far from FX in terms of benchmark.
@Nekki
If you're willing to spend closer to £25 Hetzner has an absolutely ridiculous deal in their server auction right now: an i7-3770/2x3TB/16GB for €32.27 incl. VAT. That's a hell of a CPU for that price.

That's really tempting, especially with all that disk, but I need to be strict. I could always cancel a couple of KS-1's I guess...
Or share it! I am looking for a Plex server, too.
