AMD FX 6350 vs 6300

older Released April, 2013

Reasons to buy the AMD FX 6350

	Higher clock speed 3.9 GHz		Much better PassMark score 7,379
	Higher turbo clock speed 4.2 GHz		Much better cinebench r10 32Bit 1-core score 4,286

With the FX-6300 still available for a good chunk less than this updated silicon, it's tough to recommend this chip.

older Released October, 2012

Reasons to buy the 6300

	Much lower typical power consumption 77.19W		Much better performance per dollar 9.47 pt/$
	Much lower annual commercial energy cost 83.22 $/year		Much lower annual home energy cost 22.89 $/year

if you haven't realized amd always does this 8320-8350 8350-9590 6300-6350 4300-4350 simple solution stop bashing amd fucktard, buy the lower model and overlock it to match the performance. oh don't you remember the time haswell i5 and i3 were barely an upgrade from ivy bridge, oh right intel fanboy that doesn't matter shit

Γιαννης Μαν (02:04 PM, July 28, 2015)

well, amd sells the same cpu 40 euro more expensive and the real difference is the 400 mhz more, gg amd

Charles Oh (05:53 PM, July 27, 2015)

What's a good low-price motherboard for the 6300? A good one as in overclocking, etc. Thanks!

Grinch (07:28 PM, May 25, 2015)

I bought the 6350 a year ago because it came in a bundle with my MOBO and ram for $70 off.

Gustavo Lobo (06:19 PM, November 20, 2014)

Stock overclock is a warranted overclock speed and stability.

max barbeau (03:13 AM, September 17, 2014)

yes but, the x versions or higher clocked versions are also better binned meaning they have better silicon in them.

Brian Blair (10:40 PM, August 28, 2014)

OK AMD really needs to stop crap like this! All the 6350 is, is a warmer running overclocked 6300 at the same price as the 8320 is, When you can just overclock the 6300 and pay much less. I am grateful for my R9 270 because I was able to get a R9 series card for under $200, But still both the 270X and 270 are the same. And the 270X costs more for just a higher clock you can do yourself, When they should have just priced the R9 270X under $200 to start with. Just like when they came out with the FX-6350 they should have priced it the same as the 6300 and dropped the 6300.

Rusty Shackleford (12:18 AM, April 14, 2014)

I'd say the 6300 clearly wins, with a lower price point and better overclocking. as well as the lower tdp. it probably would have come out ahead on this site if price was factored in.

David Gabel (06:42 PM, December 4, 2013)

another one that's extremely close "too close to call" imo. can't go wrong with either one. Though I prefer the 6300 as it has a lower TDP
