FX-8350, but it runs slower in everything except multi-threaded applications.

Boy is that a sad thing to see or what. One of AMD's higher tier CPUs matched and outperformed in most cases by a i3

It is a 4 year old chip being compared to a new chip. I am hoping Zen brings better stuff, but we just gotta wait and see.

I have to disagree.  FX-8320 is already much better in lots of applications, it may be slightly less than i3 in games as they're not using multithreading as much.

 

FX-8320 is 8 x 3.5 ghz with turbo up to 4 ghz... mine usually goes up to 3.725 Ghz on up to 4-6 cores, i rarely see it reach 4 ghz.

 

In multithreaded applications , FX-4350 (quad core, 4.2 ghz) should be on par with i3-6100 and single threaded applications will also work decently due to the high frequency.

FX-6300 is better at multithreaded apps due to having 6 cores, but has less frequency at 3.5 ghz and fx-6350 is somewhere in between with better single threading performance as it has the cores running at 3.9 ghz default frequency

Nothing really. The i3-6100 has much better single threaded performance than anything AMD has to offer as of now and the 8350 (or 8320) mentioned performs as well as a haswell i7 in tasks that can properly utilize the 8 cores. There's no place for the two to be properly compared yet they are often similarly priced.

how is that similar in the slightest? Different number of cores, different single threaded performance, different total performance...

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I'd say around a FX-6300 at stock or a OC'd 880K if you're talking about multi-threaded, single-threaded is a whole another thing.
