I've been trying to find an answer all day and I can't seem to find any recent threads. To my understanding the 8150 and 2500k trade blows, the 8150 having a bit of an advantage by having 8 threads in some situations. But I'm also under the impression that a 8150 would probably be more future proof.
The thing is that now the 8150 can be had for around 206$CAD, the lowest price in Canada right now seems to be around 214$. (according to some pricebat.ca searches)
I'm no intel fanboi, if you take a look at my sig rig you should be able to figure that out. My reason for asking this is simply because I figure it would be a good recommendation for someone who recently asked me for a 1000$ budget build. With a mechanical keyboard, SSD and a decent 200$ range GPU it might get tight.
But really I'm just interested in trying out how AMD stacks up, for 206$ it doesn't seem to be that bad of a deal. But then again maybe it would be simpler just to stick with the tried and true 2500k.
