better than the 860K? the 860K i believe got stronger cores (higher IPC) but it lacks L3 cache...not sure how this would affect gaming performance i have yet to find a good review on something like 860K vs FX-6300 GAMING benchmarks...but i would think in some situations the 860K might actualy be faster bro.

聽

From what I know the ipc is only slightly better, the 6350 (not 6300) is clocked higher and is known to reach very high overclocks, more than compensating for the lack of ipc prowess. And I may be wrong but I think wow likes cores.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please聽馃え

no WOW just like every other MMO's loves fast processing cores and use only 2 of them.

An intel solution (even the G3258) will be running lap around any AMD solution in such games...and i would also think the 860K can reach very high clocks and would be better for that particular game but again i'm not sure how the lack of L3 cache will slow it down.

hm, never mind then. I still think the 6350 is faster even per core due to clock speed alone.

edited previous post, again the 860K on a good A88 chipset board will also reach very high clockpseeds (in excess of 5ghz has been seen a lot)

No chance on 28nm SHP.聽

860K uses GloFos 28nm SHP process which doesn't clock very well compared to the older 32nm process as they focused on transistor density instead of clocks. 5GHz is SUPER unlikely which is why I've never bothered picking one up to bench.

right, and it looks like the lack of L3 cache REALLY hurt the performance of this chip in games...the results are fairly low...but i have seen some great single-threaded results from it that's why...

given the age of wows engine I doubt L3 cache is something to worry about too much, swapping between my 5600k and pseudo fx4300 offered no differences at the same clock

Wow never expected this response. To clarify, im not an AMD fanboy its just hard to find nice budget friendly Intel prebuilt systems. It doesn't bother me, Intel or AMD

860k-steamroller on 28nm bulk silicon, bit like haswell, very efficient but struggles to get high clock speeds and temps ramp up too(well atleast with an igpu in an apu form).
fx6-piledriver on 32nm SOI, overclocks like hell, plenty enough even on a cheapo board like the ones mentioned earlier (who have obviously never used them) will give some overhead but technically a bit of a waste for low end games.
id go fx6 personally and get some extra overhead for doing other things, being at 33% cpu usage as opposed to 50% has its upsides but both are overkill for games like wow, im pretty sure than can be run on celeron laptop...
for that game alone theres no reason to upgrade from an e7200 but i wouldnt recommend buying one for it...
game in question.

Get FX 6300, OC it to 4.1 GHz and you have FX 6350, no need to overpay.
