The APU will perform better. The 860K uses the Steamroller architecture, while the A8-6600K uses the newer Richland architecture.

I was just looking over CPU's for a tight budget build and didn't know if the Athlon 860k was better then the a8-6600k apu (not including its on board graphics, just the CPU itself) on pure performance. Anyone know?

 

What kind of budget?  What is the intended purpose of the build?

what are you talking about?

the 860K is the NEWER steamroller architecture and the A8 is the OLDER richland architecture...the 860K is about 12% faster than the 6600K (talking CPU compute)

 

OP, in any cases a core i3-4150 would be a better choice.
