Not really, since you can't bclk overclock and use the HD530 at the same time. Sad really. It was so close to greatness.
But, it'll make people think twice about the 860k and successors. All you really get with the 860k is about $30-$40 in savings.
It's more than that -- at least if you buy from Micro Center. Buy an 860k and they still give you a
free Gigabyte motherboard (currently costs $4.99 before the $4.99 mail in rebate when you bundle).
The 860k sells out all the time for them, though. The A6 / A10 seem to be the slow sellers (always plenty in stock). Buying an 860k (when they aren't sold out)
with a motherboard (the bundle
priced at $69) from Micro Center is about half the cost of a boxed Skylake i3 ($129
without a motherboard). The cheapest bundled motherboard for Skylakes from Micro Center adds another $69.
$200 vs $69.
Kinda hard to complain about the 860k even for the haters
at those prices.
Yeah, the i3 is faster -- but not by a lot. It's more of a sidegrade if you are already running an 860k. Passmark says it all..... i3 6300 versus 860K =
5894 versus
5607.
Nothing to call home about. Still rather have a black edition versus the locked multiplier.
