Amd Fx-6100 Bulldozer X6 ou o Core i5? Which is better for gaming and why?
The Fx definitely! You can reach standard graphics with the Core i5, but with the bulldozer, you can play Skyrim, Battlefield anything you want on ultra graphics. It is literallly one of the most stunning items for PC gaming I have ever seen.
Intel's okorder /... Overall gaming performance is determined 70% by your graphics card, anyway.
Oh geez, well, an i5 DESTROYS the FX series, hell, i3s destroy the FX series. The FX series is made very poorly and until AMD improves them I wouldn't touch them. I'm currently running a i5-2500k overclocked to 4.2GHz (from 3.3GHz) and I out do any of my friends Phenom IIs and keeping at a cooler temperature. Another protip: Only get Dual or Quad core CPUs for gaming. Anything more and it can (depends on the exact CPU honeslty) start hindering your performance because of the extra cores.
There are no games available that utilize 6 cores that I know of. There aren't even very many that utilize 4 cores yet. Get the I5. Intel CPU's core for core and GHz for GHz are much faster than AMD's. The only reason to get an AMD CPU is for massive overclocking (won't help gaming in this case) or if you are one of the few people out there that actually have a need for that many cores. Intels CPU's are superior for gaming, but the graphics card is the biggest factor for gaming over the CPU.
i would go with i5. never heard of the dulldozer thing, but i have i5 and it's great
