Hi, I am upgrading my computer for gaming purposes and I cant decide on which processor to get, i3 4330 or fx 6300. I am pairing this with a 7850. I am going to play games like BF4, COD, and many of the latest games. In my country the i3 is slightly cheaper than the fx 6300 like only a few dollars so you can say they are about the same price. Any advice, guys?, thanks.
Without any doubt FX-6300 is better.even there is no comparison between them
i3-4330 have 2 physical cores
FX-6300 have 6 physical cores.
its much powerful then i3 yeah you have power advantage in i3 but compromise on performance+power.
for games like BF-4 and COD ghost ..... i3 4330 is very weak option but Fx-6300 will run very smooth if other parts like RAM and GPU are strong enough to play.
games like BF or COD use 4 core tech to play so you need 4 cores for better calculation.
moreover FX-6300 have 3x 2mbs of L2 Cache and 8 mbs of L3 cache.
i3 4330 have 2x 256k L2 cache and 4 mbs of L3 cache.
how big you have cache that will determine how fast your CPU is streaming data to other parts and its very important in gaming that your CPU have to be fast in data transfer.
So a 4.0 ghz CPU having 4 mb cache in same line will be slower then a 3.5 ghz 8 mb cache CPU in gaming.
i3 4330 is a LGA 1150 socket CPU with is haswell one.Haswell motherboards are much more expansive then AM3+ motherboards.
you can get better build and better options in a AM3+ motherboard in cheaper price then a haswell motherboard.
This is what i know so i'm helping you at my best.
