Amd 8350 has 8 cores or does it? Is it really 4 cores with 4 thread that gives you 8 cores?
Intel i7 has 6 Core/12 Thread.

So, which one would push the most cams?

AMD's don't do hyperthreading - only Intel does that, i.e. they are real cores.

Without getting into a battle of AMD vs. Intel, Intel is really your only choice for 24/7 camera recording - the lower power usage of the Intel is far superior. As for if they are more powerful because they use real cores instead of hyperthreaded ones the short answer is no.:cool:

Dont even consider amd for a 24/7 NVR unless you get electricity for free...

Buy a killawatt meter so you can get an idea of what its costing you..often times the savings alone can pay for a new system...also do not buy a system with discrete graphics...use intel integrated graphics it is way more powerful then you will ever need..
