AMD A10 6800k 4.1GHz or AMD FX-4350 4.2GHz CPU

[Jo_Jo_Bear]

Im a gamer and im wondering what CPU is better. AMD A10 6800k 4.1

ghz or FX-4350 4.2 GHz is better for my gaming. Any advice will help a lot.

- 6800k is a cpu with an igpu(intergraded graphics card)
- 4350 is a cpu and only that


depends on your plans and bugdet

both of the processors fit in my budget.

Sure, but if you buy a 4350, you will need to buy a gpu in order your pc to be usable

I am planning on purchasing the new R7 when i comes out.

 

[guggi4]

Then go for the 4350. But a 6300 would be a even Vetter option

 

[tonyzet]

yes, something like 6300 will -probably- be good. In my opinion, wait until the benchmarks come out and then buy everything at once(maybe you wil find a better bargain)

Thak you for you help, i have but only one question left. what makes the 6800 better than the 4350?

6800 gives you also a igpu, which may be useful for certain bugdets and builds

 

[Jo_Jo_Bear]

Thanks for you help i will most likely buy a 6800 unless something new gets released before this winter.

 

[guggi4]

lol no, dont buy a 6800.
the a10-6800 is basicly a fx4350, but with a igpu (which is useless if you use a card), but without l3 cache, which makes it slower
i recommended you a fx-6300, its like the fx4350 but with 6 cores instead of 4 and only a few dollars more expensive!

Ill consider all of my options. i still have to wait untill December untill i start my first build.

 

[guggi4]

trust me, its fx6300>fx4350>a10-6800

 

[Jo_Jo_Bear]

trust me, its fx6300>fx4350>a10-6800

would the 6300 be a better choice if i wanted to make a small server?

Yes, but a FX 8320 would be even better

Go for the 6800k because it can go up to 4.6 GHz on air. And I believe that the prices for the 4350 and the 6800k are the same.

What's your total budget?

 

[logainofhades]

I wouldn't waste money on either of those CPU's. Get an FX 6300 or 8320.

Btw, a 4350 can be pushed to 4.6 GHz too in air...

 

[logainofhades]

FX 6300 averages around 4.7 on air iirc. Saw it linked in another thread earlier today.

The FX-6300 costs less than the 4350 and will give you more performance.

With the A10 6800k, unless you're building a small form factor PC where you can't fit a discreet GPU or you have a very low budget, it's not a good choice for gaming. Jo Jo Bear, you claimed you were planning to get one of the new AMD GPU's? In that case, the A10 6800K is definitely a waste of money because the extra cost for that CPU is for the integrated GPU which you won't even be using. Go with at least the FX-6300.

 

[guggi4]

Sure, was just a reply to the guy who mentioned the 6800k

The 6800k reaches higher clock speeds. Richland is improved piledriver by enabling stuff that was disabled in FX and Trinity APU's for some reason.
Personally, get a 6350 or 8320 and enable turbo core and you will be feature proof until excavator FX or if they make an 8 core jaguar (XBOX one and PS4 cpus) for desktops.

 

[logainofhades]

APU chips lack L3 cache, which hurts gaming performance. Piledriver based FX chips (Vishera) are superior clock for clock in games because of this.

It makes a lot more sense to buy the 6300 instead of the 6350 as there is a significant cost difference when all you're paying for is basically an overclocked 6300.
