i5 650 vs Xeon x3470 (Rx 460 2gb): Benchmark on 5 games
814I 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.
