i prolly have mentioned it before but now again and very clearly so nobody asks anymore;)
my expample is calulated between fx-8350 and 4770k ( not the 4930k but you should get the idea)
Power costs here in germany are quite high, so i hope you get my idea still if you life in a cheaper country. I have a electric meter in front of all my systems.
The system with the 4770k has besides of cpu same components and it uses around 50 Watt less than the AMD one. difference in Price is about 125€. and i pay around 24 Cent / kWh ( which is still quite ok for prices here).
So we have all data to calculate.
Power: 50 Watt more
Price difference: 125€
Runtime: 24 Hours a day
Cost: 0,24 € per kWh
Days after Intel becomes cost effective: X
24Hours * 50 Watt =
(1,2kWh/day) difference
(1,2kWh/days)* (0,24€/kWh) =
(0,288€/day) difference
125€ : (0,288/day) = 434 Days =
1 Year and 9 Weeks Time after Intel 4770k got cost effective
beside of that 4770k can run more machines and runs overall smoother than AMDs 8350. So its getting even more better just do the math.
Also the AMD gets extremely Hot! just because of the heat i wouldnt go with AMD anymore. Intel stays relatively cool. But still if you want the cheapest system ther is no way around an AMD.
