Been using the FX 6100 as the CPU in my WHS 2011 server. It's mostly used for server media and basic storage. However, it does see some regular duty in transcoding/re-encoding video files and it can struggle to transcode real-time full Blu-Ray rips especially to multiple devices simultaneously.
I am not really interested in doing much more than just dropping a new CPU into the same motherboard since the server functions fine; video encoding is just borderline and for $100-$150 it would be nice if I could get a 20-30% and still stay at a TDP of 95W. I had been considering just grabbing an FX 6300 while they are ~$100 at NewEgg, but $50 for 2 more cores seems like an interesting proposition.
Anyone got opinions on how the newer 8320E/8370E 8-core CPUs perform compared to an FX-6100?
