But will the AMD be able to hold up with say a Haswell i7 that is hyperthreaded? I have always used Intel. The main thing that I dont' know is is the Freescale Code Warrior only single core performace or will it allow the use of more than one core? And will it use all 8 or is it limited to 4 where the Haswell is then hyperthreaded? Here is a link to the software I will be using: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=CW-SUITE-BASIC
If ya wanna be forward thinking and go with the mad parallelism, go AMD, 8 cores for £150 ain't bad.

I would go with a haswell cpu. If that software supports ht get the 4770k if not 4670k. You prob need to oc a vishera pretty heavily to get good performance out of it. The intel will have excellent performance out of the box. I dont think you will be oc?

Depends on the application.
At stock clocks Vishera can easily take on i5 and at times the i7 in rendering and modelling benchmarks....any multithread stuff really.
I looked at some 3D modelling tests yesterday where the 8350 actually beat i7. Sadly this is not across the board and very app specific.
Gaming benchmarks and everything else yeah def need to be overclocked.....
Anyway I think the OP wants a CPU for compiling C+ or whatever..... I doubt he's looking to overclock so what can he get for $1000 USD?
Just checked out some compiling benchmarks, the 8350 wasn't bad but the IB i5 did do a bit better.

The 8350 was beat by a 3.3ghz 2nd gen 4 thread 2500k at 3.3ghz. If the software supports hyperthreading think how much better a 4th gen i7 4770k would be compared to the 2500k and 8350 in that bench
