Let's say I do not want to think about Hackintosh, AMD CPU is my option.
Should I go for 8 core CPU?
AMD FX8150 is just a bit more expensive than Core i5 3570K.
If I want to buy a separate VGA card for the machine, will not use built-in VGA,
which CPU shall I go for it, so that at least in 5 years time, I still can play advanced games?
OK, now we got some things from you:
1. You don't bother to read and to try to understand the answers you were given.
2. You are proud of being a thief and insult your whole continent with assuming they are all the same as you.
3. You are not understanding that you need to buy powerful hardware to play games that demand powerful hardware.
You want to play Battlefield 3? Then go to the shop, buy a computer that can handle the load of Battlefield 3 and play it. What is the point of bothering us with that?
Please don't fall back into your old Tigerlinux style of posting.
To your question, that already was answered before: The AMD 8-cores are not as fast as the Intel 4-cores for a simple reason: AMD is lying to you, those CPUs aren't 8-cores but 4-modules. If you want to learn more about that go to Wikipedia and learn about AMD's Bulldozer architecture, before coming back and posting questions about that.

I am here sincerely discussing with people,
how do you know I did not learn?
I read your replies and google for answers, I know more now.
How can AMD cheat customers?
Its cpus actually not bad,
AMD first introduced the Athlon 64bit CPU while Intel still sticked to 32bit,
Intel was wrong at that time, until after they had realized this, they started to make 64bit cpus.

Our market here is not like you, nobody sells PC based on the requirements of a game.

You're wrong, we learn from you.
you are teacher, I am student.

Because you are here to as questions again although you were asked to read the related articles on Wikipedia first. Because we can see your behavior, refusal to learn from the people you ask in the first place, in your thread about overclocking.

And this is related to AMD's FX CPUs in which way?

The Internet is full of advices which components you need to play that game.

May I quote you again?

We, Asians, do learn a lot of things from Americans,
one of them is to hack software licence.
Hacking software licenses, as you call it, is nothing than a different name for stealing the work of other people. You seem to be proud to be a thief and, worse, you think that every other Asian is also a thief and proud of it.
Bulldozer has what AMD calls "Modules. Each module features two integer cores and a shared floating point core. So the FX-8150 has 4 modules which consist of 8 integer cores, each pair of integer cores shares 1 floating point core.
The problem that 8 core processors have is that there are only a few applications which can utilize that many cores, the same issue that affects the i7 and its multithreading capability.
And contrary to popular belief, Bulldozer is a decent processor. You can't just look at numbers when looking at benchmarks, you also have to pay attention to the test setup. There are a number of things that Bulldozer does better than the Intel cpus and vice versa. Is the Intel i5/i7 faster than the AMD FX cpus? Generally, yes, but only in benchmarks. In most cases you are not going to be able to tell the difference between the two in a real world setting. People like to say that FX sucks at gaming and that the i5/i7 obliterate and wipe the floor with the FX. However, this is not true. The difference is usually a few frames per second. For example, in this review the FX is only a few FPS less than even the Ivy Bridge: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1914/10/

You can google for cracks,
all from the West,
why are you not critisizing yourselves?
US is stealing money from the whole world by printing more money, the so called QE1/2/3,
and the us dollar is not backed up by gold,
it is just paper backed up by Bullets and nuclear bombs.

I criticize all people that think stealing is a good idea, regardless from which part of the world they are. Remember that you are the one that was stating that you are learning hacking licenses from Americans (you realize that there are more countries than the US in the western world?) and that it is something that all Asians are good in. So you yourself called yourself a thief and this is not the first time you admitted that you don't care about software licenses, this happened in several of your threads.

How is this related to you not respecting software licenses and accusing all Asians to do the same?
I send you an e-mail, please read that e-mail before posting back.
