Opinions which of these processors would you choose?

[franjgg]

Hello friends,

You see I am deciding between one of these two processors:

AMD A8-5600K 3.60Ghz

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad-Core Black Edition

AMD FX Series FX-6100 3.3Ghz 6X Processor

The use I would give them would be a bit of everything, photoshop, programming for this nothing is required but well, some game like world of warcraft, in general a bit of everything, the price is more or less the same 10€ up or down.

I know the first one has integrated graphics in the micro but what I am looking for is power of the micro this detail is not important for graphics we would look for a graphics card, anyway let's see what you think.

Best regards

hello and welcome
well none are very powerful, you would have to start from an AMD FX-8120 but better an FX-4170 4.2Ghz 4X
to have something decent if not an i5 is much better option

Hello and welcome

I agree with fellow ferelxyx, I would go directly to an intel core i5, the performance difference is quite high. Anyway if you are looking for AMD specifically for a motherboard that you already have, then from the FX-8120. If you have not yet purchased the motherboard, go for an intel platform, you will notice the performance much more.

A man a 3450 would be cool if the money comes through but well, if it doesn't come through I don't see anything wrong with the x6 either, it's 44 euros less than the i5 on pccomponentes.

I'm going to give you my opinion. I have the FX 6200 and I come from a q9300 3Ghz; what I can tell you about this AMD is that it's really fast, it goes up like foam (it's pretty hot too) and the 6 cores are more than enough, so you don't need to go to the FX 8000 series, honestly I see it as a useless waste of money, since there's no software that can squeeze the 8 cores and even less in games or programs.
On the other hand, be careful with opinions like, the i5 beats it by a mile, you're going to notice a huge change… usually these are people who base themselves on opinions and analyzes from websites and so on; a lot of criticism but with little objectivity.
The money is yours, of course, but I'm telling you that you can get practically the same results for much less money.
I don't know what processor you come from, but if it's an old one, be sure that any decent one today is going to seem like a real bullet to you; whether it's AMD or Intel.
That said, then you have to know how to compensate with the rest of the hardware to be able to get the most out of it.

Those of us who have an i5 know what we're saying and why we're saying it… :troll: and my i5 isn't even Ivy…
I've had the opportunity to compare it in turbo mode against a Phenom Black Edition also in turbo, box to box right here and the difference exists :sisi:
It's true what you mention afterwards, that if the rest of the hardware is up to par, it promotes that difference in performance and increases it considerably. It's not the same to have an i5 with a normal sata2 hard drive than to have an FX with an SSD and both with the same memory...

The problem is that AMD in this generation of FX micros haven't worked out as they wanted, and they will have to polish the performance of the same.
Come on, the biggest problem is that using applications that don't take advantage of multithreading lose a lot in favor of the Phenom II X4, for example. Although it is true that in applications that go well with Multithread they defend themselves quite well.
Then there is the issue that really an FX 8, or 6 or 4 are not really 8/6/4 cores as we understand them to be. They use modules that share certain parts in common with the other modules.
Surely someone very knowledgeable in the subject would explain well how they work... but it is seen that this system burdens something its efficiency of how it should be.
In short, that certainly if I had to get an FX, I would buy one of the new FX series 8 (not sure if it's the 8150), but I would lean more towards an i5 today... seen its performance.
Regards!!
P.D: note that I am a Pro-AMD (not a fanboy, haha), and it hurts to recognize the superiority of Intel currently, but things are as they are.
That said, as always everything depends on the budget, and the use of the micro. They are not as bad as they are painted the FX Bulldozer

+1 here :sisi:
I have also been pro-AMD for years but… indeed, things are as they are

Saludos!

Another +1. I have always built AMD machines, but now it is choosing a micro that consumes much more while doing things a little worse. And if you like to play, as is my case, the difference is greater. I would rather save 50€ more and invest in an i5.
