Phenom ii x6 1090t or a10 7700k

[Lillew2016]

Hi all 

 

I have recently changed my CPU from

 

Amd phenom ii x6 1090t. 6 core oc to 4ghz turbo core turned off

              To

Amd a10 7700k 4 cores at stock 3.4 ghz with turbo boost to 3.8ghz 

 

Both are using a Corsair h55 aio watercooler.

 

I have noticed that the 7700k seem to be far better at all the tasks I hand it compared to the 1090t even tho it had 2 more CPU cores at high speeds

 

Do you guys think I was right to change to this cpu.

 

There where some limiting factors when I brought this chip like funds local stock levels of both am3+ boards and fm2+ board and chips so I had to go with the best that I could afford and people had in stock I could not wait for delivery yes from online.

 

I know these two CPUs are different sockets and require different motherboards

Userbenchmark shows the A10 actually a bit slower

I don't really trust those sources but it is still not that far from real world scenario. 

 

Honestly, both are old chip and a worthwhile upgrade would be save up and get a Ryzen 3/5 or even a budget Penium G4560 with 2 cores would crush all of them

I would stay with the X6 1090T, way better multithread performance, and probably similar single thread.
