i trust more on AMD CEO
so 5950 is best for game once AMD CEO says so
If she pays your salary then no matter, it must be true 
But seriously for pure gaming going beyond the 8-core will have diminishing returns. If someone uses the PC for some all-core capable work or streaming/video rendering/processing the the bigger ones are a good option.
yes i getting one free 
do u think i would pay 2000 euros by my own money for some silly prossesor hell no
Always Intel. Itās a matter of principal. Donāt buy what AMD is selling you, itās nonsense.
Havenāt been for the last 3 years, that I can tell you.
AMD currently has the fastest single threaded performance, and for that reason alone AMD is probably the best option.
Iām actually buying AMD tomorrow after 24 years on Intel. 6700K was the last straw for me. Iām currently typing on it and it really loves to crash and misbehave, and there were so many security vulnerabilities and other problems with the CPU and chipset that my CPU has literally become 30% slower and the branch prediction is basically turned off, so everything stutters like hell.
That CPU generation was so bad that leaks coming out of Apple suggests that they alone filed more defects than Intel found internally. It was such a horrorshow they ended up replacing the entire chipset with their own for the next generation of MacBooks, making the T2 security chip.
And now theyāre making CPUās that barely keep up with AMDās but consume twice the power.
Not in a million years would I go Intel right now.
Do this. Your original spec is comparing a 6-core AMD to an 8-core Intel, so the answer from those two is of course the Intel system.
Step up to 8-cores with AMD, and the question ceases to have meaning. Both are far more than WoW needs and will generally trade blows. (Frankly the 6-core is also overkill, but I just like to clear up the misconception that modern AMD processors are in any way behind.)
Do you have other uses for this rig? It is quite well suited to video rendering, or streaming while playing games, while maybe decoding some DVDs at the same time.
If youāre not planning on that workload, be advised you can spend less and have a perfectly good WoW rig.
ā¦or just buy something cool and fast. Itās your money, youāre welcome to put it where you like 
Sad to hear, I have an 8700k @5 ghz and it is solid as a rock. Regularly goes 2-3 months between reboots and has done for over 2 years. Even accounting for performance expectations over the past 20 years, itās still the cpu Iām most happy with. Itās the only one I havenāt wished was a bit faster.
As and when I replace it, I may well choose AMD, but weāll see whatās happening at the time. It might be another 2-3 years and things may have flipped

The 6000 series stands out in particular, but even if you ignore that, AMDās CPUās just plain perform faster and use less power right now. I think itās the 10nm+++++++++ effect 
I mean weāre literally at a point where Apple can beat Intelās Xeons on single-threaded performance using a 10W mobile chip in a laptop with no fanā¦
But the 8000 series was better, and Iām glad youāre happy with it.
Intel isnāt worthless, itās just not a good pick right now imo. One going Intel doesnāt make me consider that person insane, I just wouldnāt make the same pick.
Basically I agree.
You can pull out similarly performing chips from either brand. But the AMD one probably costs a bit less, sucks a bit less power, kicks out less heat and therefore makes less noise.
Does everyone care about those differences? Definitely not. Many buy Intel because thatās the brand everyone knows and AMD really do forget to advertise, likeā¦ anywhere. I just do not see AMD adverts, I barely see AMD laptops or pre-builts. They donāt have anywhere near Intelās marketing power.
Is this alt stuck in 2015? I understand the controversy of the FX-series, but we are well past that and the FX-series is replaced by the competitive Ryzen - improved for each new generation and beating Intelās equivalent each time.

when i was lidle my father and his friends made fun how bad Intel was so Intel has been a laffing stack hole my life and still is Intel is a joke now and forever ā¦
Go for the amd, the newest cpus are the best right now
AMD giveing them out for free i am 1 of them who happends to get one for free but they are realiced the january 14th 
Right now I would get an AMD Processor and Nvidia GPU, thatās if I was buying but Iām not, still on a I7 6700 and a GTX1070ā¦ WoW really does not need a lot of computer.
AMD RX 6900 as minimi if u playing with raid traisng on ā¦
dispaoting wow is only 4k not 8k
Always Intel.
With AMD you might have to update your bios and do other things to get it work.
AMD these days.
Intel has been left behind. Go for a Ryzen CPU forget about Intel.
does intel ever give out free computers like AMD does ? no they dont
i dont know a single person what has sponsorship with Intel all i know have AMD sponsorship ā¦
So it is cheaper to buy a new MB for each CPU upgrade due to Intelās chronophobia - changing sockets for each generation - than updating BIOS on current MB and enjoy AMDās chronophile intergenerational compatibility?
If you care about gaming, you go for Intel. If you care about multitasking and using any design software, you go for AMD.
Go to userbenchmark websiteā¦ choose CPUā¦ sort by Valueā¦ note that itās almost all Intel. Sort by average bench for same result. This myth that AMD is somehow taking over is exactly that, a mythā¦ and excellent marketing from AMD and the media.
