how come such Huge price drop on AMD Fx 6300 and Intel core i3

[john5220]

I so regret buying this stupid intel haswell mainboard combo. Wish I listened to others and bought an AMD, I would have had a 6 core FX that packs the performance of an i5 in things like unreal engine 4 and battlefield 4 etc

What a huge regret intel was, I have a pentium G haswell and it makes no sense upgrading to i3 as it stinks compared to fx 6300 and i5. And well i5 is double the price of fx 6300 for same performance what a rip off intel really is.

look FX 6300 is $95

FX6300 is not the same performance as an i5. Not even remotely close.

If it was, AMD would charge you a lot more money than they are.

Sounds like you need to educate yourself on the relative performance on a Haswell i5 and a FX6300. It's no where near the same, it's quite drastically different in fact. I won't tell you which is better, you should do some reading and see for yourself.

 

[john5220]

I have done my research and i5 @3ghz and fx 6300 is the same performance in 6 threaded benchmarks.

Also apart from i5, the fx 6300 is drastically superior to the i3 and the fx costs a lot less So again massive regret on intel my current pentium G stinks on a whole new level

And I am not paying $200 for an i5 when the FX 6300 can easily compete infact the fx can over clock while the $200 i5 cannot

 

[john5220]

Done more research and it turns out the FX 6300 is faster than the 3GHZ haswell i5 and at $185 its still far too expensive for a CPU to begin with then the FX 6300 is in reality FASTER and for half the price

so I guess you were talking rubbish about education etc?

No you haven't, because no it doesn't.

 

[john5220]

^ then those benchmarks are a lie?

intel fan boys will never accept the truth then. Also the FX 6300 rapes the $156 i3 in 64 player maps in Battlefield 4 and its still cheaper at only $95

Intel fail hard. Rip off!!!! HUGE REGRET from taking advice from people on this forum to buy Intel.

Only because morons and liars here told me to buy intel is why I did and what a regret it turned out to be. Could have gotten so much more for my money with AMD because this intel pentium G STINKS in battlefield 4 and unreal engine 4 development.

Could have gotten 6 core AMD for $95 just WOW instead stuck with nasty dual core intel that chokes on every opportunity it gets.

 

[2is]

Sell your stuff and buy an FX 6300, while the rest of us Intel fans stick with "slower" i5 haswells... This has to be a troll thread, no one can be that clueless can they?

 

[john5220]

^ denying facts are we? so by your logic a 6303 socre on i5 is higher than 6357 score on fx 6300?

god you are stupid, no offense.

Now thanks to people like you I have to sell my intel system at a loss in order to buy the AMD which makes it even more troubling because of the money I was going to save now it will be wasted.

people like you told me to buy intel saying its better than AMD, telling lies about how the i3 was better than FX 6300 when it turned out the $185 i5 haswell was beaten by the fx 6300 and at a cheaper price than the i3

Based on that, an FX6300 should be faster than an FX8350 since a haswell i5 kicks the crap out of an FX 8350 and you think the 6300 is faster than an i5 Haswell.

The only fail here is your understanding of CPU performance.

 

[john5220]

^ nice deceitful attempt but that benchmark is single core

a 3 GHZ i5 in 6 threaded benchmarks does not beat a FX 6300 And this is hardly about i5 discussion

It was a choice between i3 and fx 6300 and the i3 stinks like pig feces.

 

[john5220]

on multi threaded 3D modeling its a different story. And that 8 core FX is still way cheaper than a i5 btw

nice try being deceitful btw. The topic is about how I am stuck with garbage intel processors at the $100 mark

When AMD has processors under $100 that matches $200 intel i5 just amazing

Blatant bashing of intel and dubious "benchmarks" supposedly proving AMDs "superiority" posted by a low post count OP. Gee, I think we have seen this before. There is a word to describe this thread, but I dont want an infraction, but just let me say that it is the same word as applied to a large, club wielding animal in the Lord of the Rings movies.

There are several pages of charts for you. I think all but maybe two individual charts are single threaded.

So you are denying FACTS?

Intel stinks in value for money when it comes to multi threaded benchmarks and I wasted money on this intel system when I could have had a FX 6300 with power of a i5 haswell which is proven by benchmarks. Or even if not power of an i5 it would have been waaaay better than an over priced i3. My concern isn't even about i5 its about how i3 stinks and what I could have gotten now for $95 if I didn't listen to some of you trolls and bought an intel.

But then again you are free to express your ignorance.

ill informed?

intel budget CPU STINKS compared to what AMD has to offer for far less.

And yes dual core Pentium G and dual core i3 STINKS compared to a 6 core FX 6300 in 6 threaded games like battlefield 4

anyone with half a brain knows this.

OP, your tone is extremely harsh, which is probably why your thread was not well received. I wouldn't be surprised if a moderator came in and cleaned this up somewhat.

It seems to me that i3's, i5's and FX's all perform about where they should for what they cost in Battlefield 4:

i3 is more expensive than the FX and is a hair slower in a game that can fully utilize 6 threads, but will be in a whole different league in less-threaded games/programs.

FX-6 is not a match for an i5.

 

[cytg111]

Wow, this little bait is all it takes for the Intel Representatives Group(tm) to bite. Have fun at it boys .

 

[john5220]

all the USEFUL benchmarks show the AMD is better and you have to waste excessive money on intel to get better

 

[cytg111]

Heeeeh ... the dude came well prepared .. going for popcorn...

That is single player

nobody plays single player

a dual core i3 will never be able to out perform a 6 CORE amd in a 8 threaded game like battlefield 4. Same with caspain border in Battlefield 3 multi player benchmarks

Looking at your post history please do not blame anyone other than yourself.

Specifically wanted an intel CPU for high ST performance for SC II and D3. Budget was not high enough for anything other than a ~$50-60 CPU.

Specifically posted

All in all I see very very little to absolute 0 gaming time on anything besides SC2 and D3

Infact since reaper of souls and loot 2.0 and getting rid of that rubbish auction house I can't even see myself playing SC2. Looks like its gonna be strictly D3 for many years to come.

I can easily see myself raking up 8000 hours of D3 in the many years to come.

Followed by

Ok so I finally got the CPU today with the MB and RAM

Must say its a blast very snappy compared to my old AMD. I checked with some friends who play Diablo 3 and one guy who has the best 8 core AMD dips to 15 FPS in huge fights.

My Pentium hovers around 23 FPS and up. Few people with i5 did a test and they have been reported to get 28 FPS with Ivy Bridge i5. One guy with a Hasswell i7 got no less than 35 FPS in the biggest fight.

My old Athlon II X2 at the same 3GHZ would get 8 fps in these fight scenes. So its a massive bump up for me I am quite satisfied knowing this $60 intel beats a $180 AMD.
I even tested it in Battlefield 3 with 64 player metro map and it handles it way better than my AMD

I used to get 14 fps wit my AMD now I get 30 FPS and up. Quite pleased if I do say so myself.

All great for $140 USD combo kit.

Unreal 4 was not mentioned in this thread at all.

Now had you mentioned you needed a CPU for Unreal 4 or that you would be playing a lot more BF4 and that your budget was higher you would have gotten a different recommendation.

Remember you wanted a CPU + MOBO + RAM

Not going higher than $1200 TTD which is about $180 USD

As for your Unreal 4 developement

Currently its impossible to use Unreal Engine 4 on my PC that has a Pentium G with intel HD graphics the problem is not the CPU but the GPU is so slow the engine is there for hours rendering GPU shaders.

 

[john5220]

^ Yes but the use of my PC changed

You all were supposed to guide me properly as to the value of AMD CPU and why its better than intel in the long run.

This site would have you believe intel is so much more superior than AMD until you realize you f***ed yourself in the a** by buying intel unless you are super duper RICH.

Ow well maybe I can buy a i3

 

[2is]

That's why you buy an i5 and get the best of both or an i7. If you can't afford it that's on you. Doesn't make the processor any worse and certainly doesn't make an FX6300 better than an i5
