1080 Gaming Performance

Now we turn our attention to gaming. Even ultra-quality settings cannot mask the inadequacies of CPU throughput. Framerates are high enough for the FX-8370E's lack of performance not to be evident, but there's no getting around it, the low-load processing ability of Intel CPUs is superior.

The same is true of BioShock Infinite, where the Core i5-4570 powers the system to a 17 per cent advantage over the FX-8370E.

Eight Intel cores are better than four, but four Intel cores are better than eight AMD ones.
