AMD zen core

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

Hello Sir,
I have a AMD user and using amd phenom 8350 since 2008 & works fine.Recently I want to upgrade my Pc so I am little confused, reason I ready to buy FX 6 core series but suddenly I got a news that AMD launces new zencore in this year (maybe october), so I should wait for this processor?
and My 2nd question is that AMD zen core news alwasys show "x86" so Is this processor release for 64 bit or not. This one is another big question which running in my mind.

Yes, the release is for 64 bit.
Yes, you should wait. Right now, the FX series is extremely dated. It has not aged well and does not keep up well in the modern PC world, even for mid-range rigs. It would be a waste of money to upgrade right now, and not go to Zen.

Don't invest in an FX CPU at this time..

Either look to Intel if you must upgrade today. Zen will not be available until Q1 2017 - but it's worth waiting to see what it offers up.

Yes, Zen will be 64-bit, but will be compatible with 32-bit, which is standard practice.

but Intel is too high price and I want a budget pc fx 6 core always be better than I3 processor thats wy I want a budget Pc AMD fx but the new for zen thats wy I little confused. N i m not going to Intel buddy .Intel doesnt give a better graphics output compare to amd in budget pc.
so give some perfect or satisfactory reply

No, a modern i3 6100 significantly outperform the FX6xxx in most tasks. The FX6xxx is old and was not great even when new. With FX6xxx you will end up with a motherboard which does not give you any good upgrade paths. At least with an i3 6100 you have the option of many i5's or i7's and are using the latest DDR4

Now this answer some kind of suitable and good also...but dear thats wy I m waiting for zen core if zen core launch in 2 months & that processor is upper than I3 speed which is better for me with the budget pc and better that I3 speed. thats wy I m waiting for zen core announcement...Hoep U understand...I am not gonna buy pc every year...my Last amd works still fine after 9 years+ so try to belive again zen core cpu. a simple n honest thought . thats it

ashishkumartinku :

Sorry, a little confused here: Do you mean you have an Athlon X4 835 currently and are contemplating an FX processor (6core FX 6350?), or you have an FX 8350 now?

I am not sure what you mean by 'Phenom 8350'.

Get an i3 6100. It's a pretty powerful processor. You'll be getting very good performance for the price you pay, and also you'll have the option to upgrade to i5 or i7. We still have no idea about the prices for the zen CPU's and after how long after the official release they will be available in India.

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

but for graphic perfomance specially some 3d or illutstrator work i5 or i7 is very good bt i3 not as good as we expect........currenty in my office we are using i3 4th gen and its not as good we think, thats wy we think about latest zen core cpu, we heard that its launch in october 2016 so may be then we see how the processor work on speed n graphices point of view......because the news is that latest apu gives ps4 or xbox one type graphics output for gamers. thats wy I choose to wait of news for zen core.

darthvader30 · Aug 27, 2016

Yes, if you are a heavy user you should definitely consider an i5 or i7. If that's the case then you should wait for the zen CPU's and maybe by then the prices of 6th gen i series CPU's also drops.

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

ya... I m a heavy use but I want a good budget Pc for my home which works fine....n ur upgrade ooption is good. If zen core price is similer to i3 n perfomance wise its better then i chose to zen core if not then I chose i3 6th gen & hopefully after few months the prices drops & its good for my type budget users. bt man wat about gaming experience in i3 is it as good as fx .?

darthvader30 · Aug 27, 2016

i3's gaming performance is far better than fx as it has a built in GPU. Also, with an external GPU the i3 outperforms the Fx 6300.

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

but I disuss some gaming forum & they say that intel graphics is not as good as nvidia or ati....and amd is collaborate with ati & most of time provides nvidia graphics also. any way i should wait for announcement of zen core processor then choose which one to buy.
thanks guys for ur suggestions.

darthvader30 · Aug 27, 2016

What you are talking about nvidia and amd is different, it's the case when you are buying a separate graphics card. What I was talking about is without a separate graphics card. No matter what CPU you buy, you can always buy a separate graphics card from nvidia or amd(ati) and choose the better one.

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

I know buddy I m using ati card 5xxx series but I am taliking about that in gaming point of view I saw amd is always better than intel....most of gaming forum show that amd is good n budget choice for gaming section (expect I5 or I7).

darthvader30 · Aug 27, 2016

It's not the case. What matters is the raw performance of the CPU if you are using a separate GPU. With i3 6100, you will be getting the latest DDR4 technology, newer manufacturing process, lower power consumption, etc. without sacrificing the performance. Fx series is way too old now and you your upgrade path would be locked.

ashishkumartinku · Aug 27, 2016

ya I know fx series is old processor and i3 6th gen is latest with ddr4 technology. If zen core provide some internal GPU then it is a good option so the matter is final here I should wait for zencore , whats the processor is whats the perfomance after that I have to choose what processor is good for me.
thanks
