Improve AMD single thread performance

[Superbear321]

I have an AMD FX 6300 black edition in my pc right now. I was wondering if I could improve the single threaded performance of this CPU in any way. I am willing to sacrifice cores to do this.

Thanks in advance

Overclock it. Thats all you can do. It wont improve IPC, and it wont really get you any substantial gains, but it is worth doing.

Oveclocking is the only way.

Intel CPUs are ~80-100% faster per clock. With overclocking, you can gain maybe 10-15%.
