Intel Core i3 6100  vs AMD FX 6300 

please i need answer ho is the best pentium g3220-pentium g3470

The AMD build for price/performance ration , Intel and Nvidia is much expensiver build, I would put in your place an intel cpu and the AMD graphics card. It is namely nich was the pure AMD builds are always better, so AMD CPU to AmD graphics card. I run this CPU in my computer with a GTX 960 and I could not complain, so that AMD CPUs with NVIDIA graphics cards is not tolerable is cheese

Plzz what is better to Buy [Intel Core i3 6100 3,7 GHz + nVidia GeForce GTX 750 TOC 2GB DDR5] or [AMD FX-6300 3,5 GHz + AMD Radeon RX460 4GB DDR5] for gaming!!?

Dude, we still need to support AMD cause they make Intel to lower their CPU's price!!! I love every single time that AMD releases new CPUs so i could buy some cheaper intel cpu

The intel is also half as loud roughly in my personal anecdotal experience. It's definitely the better option. Good luck!

Huh! That's something I should look into! Thanks for the name of the board! I'm going to eventually upgrade my board and CPU, this AMD isn't gonna cut it for long.

At least until AMD's Zen architecture's unknown performance increases, go Intel. It is more expensive, but it is more expensive because it is more powerful. In the world of technology and computers, either go big or go home. Buy the best you can because if you don't, you will almost definitely regret it. A little bit more money for a little bit more future proofing is always worth it in lieu of no future proofing and more than double the cost down the line.

I went from an FX-6300 to an i3 6100 by swapping out the motherboard and CPU, not the RAM. I got a motherboard that supports skylake but also uses DDR3 RAM. Even though the CPUs are not supposed to work with the higher voltage of DDR3, it works perfectly for me on this official motherboard. This is the one that I used: ASUS S1151 ATX Z170-P-D3 The performance increase is insane, but only in some areas. In games I get at least ~15 fps higher than before, but in some games that are more CPU dependent I get anywhere up to 50 fps increases. I am using a GTX 970 by the way. General system performance seems roughly identical, maybe a little better but I am willing to chalk that up to placebo.

I have the FX 6300 right now, and man, is it worth upgrading to an Intel CPU? Like others have mentioned, that's a new board, cpu and ram! Hmm......

I agree with you i have a Fx-6300 and i love it I dont have alot of money and its a killer for perfomance I would rather have a i7 Extreeeeeeeem ediition but there like £1500 and i dont have that

AMD suck gorilla dick.

i would get an i3... IF I HAD THE MONEY. I currently have an fx 6300 OC'd to 3.8ghz. It's not too bad, but if i were to buy an i3, i would have to get the cpu, a new mobo, and new RAM. It seems pointless to upgrade once you factor in the price. It just enrages me that I have to spend $80 just on RAM that I already have, with a 4 plastered on it. I don't see a difference at all between ddr3 and ddr4. Anyway, say what you want, but I'm sticking with the fx 6300

Yes. (July 2015 vs October 2012) Not even as a gift... i wouldn't keep it, i would sell it sealed for 50$, i would give 60$ more and buy a cood watercooling device for my i5 6600k. :)

What if the FX 6300 is on sale for $80? Is it worth buying over an i3 6100 then?

i made that mistake of buying the FX 6300 2 years ago. I regret the fact that i spend my money on that cpu. I regret the fact that i could but i didn't give some more to buy the i5-4690k. But i will not make the same mistake of buying AMD again.

I almost made the mistake of buying a bulldozer. Buying an AMD bulldozer/piledriver CPU in 2016 is dumb, when zen is coming out in a few months, and is much faster than any current AMD cpu. Not saying that zen will blow intel away though, but it would probably blow the current AMD CPUs away.

i'll take the i3... AMD has several years to offer something new, something powerful at the CPU's. AMD has fool countless people with her marketing (myself included) The bulldozer architechture was slower even the Thuban. Was offering the 2-3-4core cpu's as 4-6-8core... I have the FX 6300 and it has 3 modules. For me, as i see it it's a 3core cpu with somekind of hyperthreading. Many people will say "it's a REAL six core cpu... No.. NOT FOR ME... For me is a 3core cpu somehow with the cores "broken" in 2 pieces. Broken cores doesnt improve the performance.. From the other side why a 6core cpu is compared to a 2core cpu? i know, it's the price range... Why not a 6core vs a 6core cpu comparison? Oh... i forgot... the price again.... but comparing a 2 vs a 6 core is ok, it's fair... LOL For me NEVER AGAIN AMD... I'm moving to Intel i5 6600K...

A... M.. D! Hotter, faster, betterrrr!

not really, intel always seems to have much better single core performance while amd usually has much better multi core performance, L2 cache(allowing more processing for less speed) and gpu interaction. While single core is often more essential it is concerning that there are few multi-threaded tests where the fx would excel. Not to mention all tests mean nothing if they don't run the games.

true

This is a no contest. i3 is much better...
