Out of curiosity, why do people think AMD is cheaper? Electricity in NYC is 35c a kwh, so it's either paying upfront (Intel) or paying later (AMD). Why even bother with AMD if Intel is just as performant, if not better, and cheaper in the long run?

Fuck off shill

I'm being completely serious. A 9590 costs $60 a month in electricity. Why would I bother?

What. The. Actual. Fuck. You are considering that it runs at full-load, reaching the full 225W of TDP (which doesn't means power consumption by itself), 24/7.

An fx 6300 is 95w, an i5 3470 is 77w, an i5 2500 is 95w, and an i3 3220 is 55w.

The difference isn't too big, an fx6300 at stock offers between i5 3470 and i5 2500 performance in games that use 4 threads, and won't be using the full 95w since 2 threads won't be fully active.

holy fuck your electric is expensive

faggot loser

better not be buying high end i7 like i7 5960X.

amd processor, let's say it's 200 watt(to the stars and beyond). 1 kwh = 3.600.000,0 watt
one month(30 days) is 60x60x24x30= 518400000 seconds
518400000 : 3.600.000 = 144 kWh
144 x 36 cents = 51 dollar and 84 cents per month
but your amd cpu is more likely 100 watt or less
cutting the cost in half.

People don't run their CPU at 100% load every single second of the day.

>implying AMD uses more electricity
>implying people living in apartments do not pay a flat rate for electricity

quick correction*

if it is using 100% electricity all the time
which it isn't.

Hydro power. FeelsGoodMan. Enjoy your overpriced electricity fag.

yeh, i indeed even forgot that

>tfw according to tomshardware my Intel cpu draws 240w on its own

HEDT chips are weapons-grade housefires, but It's Okay When Intel Do It™.

It's just an i7 870

The real question is: i3 6100 or fx 6300?

I3 6100 or wait for zen.

Similar cpu performance, but with the i3 you get ddr4 and significantly better ipc per core.

Where are you from?

>NYC
found your problem

amd really costs more in the long run when it burns your house down

United States

>just as performant
I don't think you're from the US at all. Side note, I live in Norway. Electricity here is ridiculously cheap, I could run a cluster of Netburst chips and still not notice it. I have a heat exchanger and underfloor heating in all rooms, all of which is running on electricity. I still don't pay more than ~$150 every two months. Maybe I should start mining buttcoins.

If you care about electricity prices you should be using ARM

Why not atom?

NYC is a shithole.

Because Intel killed Atom

Doesn't mean it doesn't exist and it'll still perform well for a few more years.

>atom
>good performance per watt

pick 1

They killed Atom for mobile phones, they're still going to produce low power small core arches for a little while at least. Goldmount based chips are still coming out.

No they didn't. They killed off the one made for smartphones. The "regular" Atom for tablets and notebooks is still being developed.

>why do people think AMD is cheaper?
Poorfag here.

AMD is cheap and I love it
>Electricity
that shit is cheaper here

>mfw where i live an fx-8350 costs 5$ a year more to run over an i5

>mfw i have 4 amd computers and 1 intel computer and i never turn them off

>FUCKING IMPLYING YOU RUN A CPU FULL LOAD 7/24/12/365 B.C A.D.

How else am I supposed to get my bitcoins?

>Electricity in NYC is 35c a kwh
dang sorry to hear about that, here's what I would have to pay if I moved there
>currently it's a little under 12USD a month
>8.04c kWh
Do you have to run a dehumidifier? that was easily 20USD a month here.

What makes the phone oriented model special?

Can't OEMs stick an Atom SOC in a phone?

Didn't they merge it with the celery?

it's not that the reason. The 9590 requires special boards and a more powerful PSU.

>a cluster of Netburst chips
>not Prescott chips

>ARM
unusable for demanding applications(compilers, video encoding, gayming, browsing JS-heavy websites)

You made it fucking retarded

AMD 200W CPU uses
>(1/5kWh / hr) x (24hr / day) x (30days / month) = 144kWh / month
>(144kWh / month) * ($0.36 / kWh) = $51.84 / month

The units cancel neatly dumbass
