The Intel one is a better option, but if you unclock the Athlon to make it a "AMD Phenom II X6 1405T" It would be better at gaming and multi-core tasks.

Well before that, you should know there's a chance it might not turn out the ideal way. The reason the extra cores are locked are either because they are faulty and didn't pass amd's quality test or (the reason your hoping for) because of demand they locked them to market it as a quad-core cpu. With the 2 extra cores, only 1 may be faulty or none, it's luck of the draw. Going about unlocking the cpu can be done with the motherboard I can send you a guide if your going to buy the athlon.

Yeah it would just have 4 good cores and 2 faulty ones at the worst case, in which case you just lock it back down to quad core again.
