it's just the cpu which is cheaper other amd products (motherboard,graphics card are more costlier) than intel and also less available,the intel i5 3570 is faster in normal use,gaming etc,don't be offended i am not a fan boy! just what"s the use of 8 core which work like 4!.amd fx 8350 heats faster and may need to change the cooler(stock),which will cost u around 2k for a good cooler,the intel parts are cheaper,easily available,and consume lower energy!
