Hi everybody,

now I have a fx 6300 running into my pc, but I got a i5 4590s from ebay for 52€.
I read something about the 's' cpus but i didn't understand a lot.

Will the 4590s perform at least equal to a i5 4440? Or shoul i rest with my fx 6300?

Thank you

The 4590s is faster than the 4440 by about 10%. The 4590s is also faster than the 4460 as well. The 4590s is just fine as long as you get a motherboard for it. Any of these chips blows away the FX 6300 though.

If you really want good performance, resell the 4590s and get something more powerful like a 4770k. Even with something really nice like the 4770k, you'd only be getting about 10% more performance so I'd just stick with the 4590s unless you want to spend a lot on a 4790k and get 25% more performance. Reselling is only worth it if you want to go up to i7.

So, should i resell the 4590s? I read that it will boost to 3.3 GHz to all 4 cores, so, teorically, it should be similar to a 4440/4460, or am i wrong?
Does the lower TDP affect performances?
 
I'd be happy to use the 4590s instead of a 6300. Yes it's a bit slower, 3ghz instead of 3.3ghz base vs 4590, but in games it's not really going to matter. If you're playing a game that won't play well on a 3ghz i5 4590s, then you are playing a game that needs more than an i5. I'm assuming you have a worthwhile gaming videocard, if you don't than you might not see any improvement in games over your FX 6300.
