i5 650 vs Xeon x3470 (Rx 460 2gb): Benchmark on 5 games
I am comparing two first generation CPUs with some benchmarks and gaming.
The i5 650 (dual core) vs the Xeon x3470 (quad core)
My pc specs on Dell Inspiron 580:
CPU: Xeon x3470 2.9 Ghz
Gpu: Rx 460 2gb
Memory: 6gb ddr3 @ 1333Mhz
Motherboard: 0C2KJT
Benchmarked games: Cs go , Farcry Primal, witcher 3, gta v, battlefield 1
Note that games are recorded with software, so fps drop especially on the i5.
