So I'm pretty curious on this one. I've had this thing for a while and it's been great. Have it overclocked to a stable 3.8Ghz

So with my current overclock in stand, how does that hold up to the current CPUs out there now? (Is trying to squeeze every bit of life out of it)

Compared the the original FX chips, it could hold its own or even better on single threaded apps, newer models its starting to lose out.

Still a perfectly capable cpu even for today's demanding games and apps.

I can say from experience, I just upgraded to the 4670k from a OC Q6600 @ 3.4GHz...... wow man if you have the 400 - 500 to spend on new board, ram, and cpu, DO IT!!! But to be honest I would wait until the next release. Your cpu isn't that old, but you would be amazed in performance difference in a newer chip.

To put this in prospective.

I5 4670K $220.00
1055T $174.00
FX 8350 $189.99

I5 4670k is 73% faster without OC than the 1055T, just hurts buying a new Mobo/ram I know.. You will see the same type of increase with a FX8350. But again if you can make it work for yourself then waiting for Kavari to come out would benefit no matter what. Price drops or just getting the newest model.

to Answer your question directly - Your chip wouldn't last very long in the ring with any of the new enthusiast CPUs

I would expect similar in-game performance with the 1055T as perhaps a FX 4300

That would be a stock comparison right? I'm not sure how much overclocking will help in my case, I think I was finally able to push it to a stable 4Ghz OC (Northbridge to around 2.5) yesterday. So honestly if I could get anywhere close to possibly an FX 6300 I'd be happy (but doubtful).
