Oh pshaw. The 6100 is fine. Sure, there are better parts out there. But that doesn't make the 6100 piss-poor. 'Tis fine.

OP, what's your reason for asking? Have you found a deal on one or something?

Pshaw. And Haswell is referred to ever-so affectionately as "Has-fail".

The 6100 is fine.
 


because haswell failed to improve performance in desktops over ivy. the 6100 series is ok, but honestly with the 6300 literally at the same price, there is no reason to go with the 6100. hell the 6350 is only 15.00 more and it is far more powerful.

bottom line is the fx-6100 isn't the best option available. it is ok if you literally have no other choice. in most countries the 6300 should be at or close to the same price and it is a step up in performance

The difference between Haswell and Zambezi, is if I had upgraded my 1090t to a 6100, it would have been a downgrade. Haswell is an actual upgrade over ivy, although not much of one.

Also the 6300 is priced the same as the 6100 on newegg right now so it's a waste of money to get the older cpu (unless you can get a really good deal on it).
