Intel G3258 VS G3260 ! ! !

 

Which one have a higher speed?

Which one is the most value?

Which one OC speed is highest? (G3260 can OC ?!)

Which one is the better CPU to play some simple games?

 

Thanks ! ! !

1. Google

2. G3258

3. g3258 , with good cooling.

4. G3258

lel the G3260 isn't unlocked so you can't overclock it like the G3258 can so G3258 all the way if that are your options

[The Toaster]

The 3260 is clocked higher but is locked.

If you have an overclockable board get the 3258.

 

Have you considered saving up for an i3?

[manikyath]

so... if you're not straight up going for single threaded performance or planning to upgrade to i5 or i7 down the road...

Athlon X4 860K > Any Pentium

this.

Athlon X4 860K > Any Pentium

this is true, but the thing is there are many variables, if you plan to upgrade i would recommend the pentium until you do, if you never plan to upgrade then go for an 860k and a cheap fm2 motherboard 

[PlayStation 2]

Athlon X4 860K.

I don't mean to derail your choices but if you want Intel for gaming, i3 or higher baby.

[Ostwind]

A 3258 is a toy, get an i3.

[Guest trucker2]

3260 is cheaper, faster and locked. To quote the cpu Nazi" No overclocking for you!"

As the basis of a cheap build for a CSGO addict either is a good choice, Newer AAA games coming...Forgetaboutit.

49 bucks vs 44 bucks. 3.2 ghz(overclockable) vs 3.6 and a bigger cache. What is the build planned for?

[johnnyG]

g3258 , if you have a good mobo, is far better than amd counterpart x4 860k, go watch some benchmark before talk, the 860k loose in every field, even in multicore operation, i bought that and i regret it, plus on intel platform you can do better upgrades in future, the fm2+ platform is  outdated, even the top end cpu, is not close to the worst i5 by intel, so go with that.

3260-3258=2 xdddd

Btw guys do not ever buy Pentium. Dual cores in 2015 does not seem g00d.

[m2rt]

It all depends on what type of games are you planning to play. IF its the mainstream ones like dota 2, lol and CS:GO then G3258 is far better than the X4 860k and its not even close. 

And both will struggle with AAA games. IT does not matter that the x4 860 has 4 cores the ipc of the chip is horrible and you will see no realworld benefits from the 4 cores.
