Their ES sample got nuked and i7 4770R is hotter than FX 8350.

I dont trust that guy for one second.
I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one that feels this way. They lack the academic rigor of AT, THG, and the other "usual suspects" that make for reliable and (relatively) unbiased reviews.:|I dont trust that guy for one second.

Agree. After his FX vs i5 fail video, this guy is done.
After they released that false FX-8350 video with results that couldn't be duplicated or supported by any other review on the planet and then stood behind that review they lost any credibility that they might of had. Their Xigmatek review was awful as well. Basically anything sent to them will get a great "review".
Any article from Teksyndicate/Logan or anyone associated with him will forever be a joke not worth clicking on.
chernobog,
How much are you being paid to advertise for AMD?
chernobog,
How much are you being paid to advertise for AMD? The majority of review sites show that the top end Haswell parts thrash the FX 8350. So what exactly are you trying to prove?
chernobog,
Nobody's saying that AMD makes terrible products; I used to use AMD all of the time when I built PCs for people, and I think that for gamers who don't care about power consumption, the FX 83xx are pretty decent chips, and in highly threaded situations yes, is likely faster than the i7 4670k, albeit at a huge power + single threaded performance disadvantage.
FX 8350 is better than i5 3570k/4670k in multithreaded/multitasking if you did not know and if you play lets say Battlefield 3 and want to stream.
i5 3570k/4670k would lag since Battlefield 3 will use all of its core compared to FX 8350 that has 8 cores while Battlefield 3 can use up to 4 cores thus FX 8350 has 4 unused cores. So those 4 unused from FX 8350 will be used when streaming.
So no, Logan did not fail FX vs i5.
Simple logic and no, this is not "personal" attack as everyone wants to believe.
huge power disadvantage? Nope:

If it was 50% then it would be huge but its not, they are not 50% apart in power consumption.
