Hello,
Currently i have
Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P
athlon x2 270 3.4 Ghz oc at 3.91Ghz
6gb ddr 1333mhz
R7 250 1 gb DDR 5
win 7 64bit
Which one of this CPUs (a10 or x4) will perform better in gaming? GPU in A10 will be terminated and ill use current graphic card? i wanted to buy new mb and 760k byt my friend will sell me cheap mb asus F2-A85V-PRO with FM2 socket and A10 with new cooler so i am interested in raw cpu power difference. Needed for gaming (Skyrim, Witcher 2 etc)

The HT link speed is irrelevant. Even at 4400MT/s it still has more bandwidth than everything downstream on the S2P combined.

----------



The memory controller is on the CPU, not the chipset, the HT link does not handle memory access.

----------



This implies a mystical relationship between the CPU and GPU that does not exist.

Match the CPU to the compute workload of the performance goal.
Match the GPU to the render workload of the visual quality goal.

Forget about trying to match them to each-other...
Oh i think it is mobo with bios version 4 or 5. I dont understand what do you mean with buying new mobo? I gona buy that mobo from my friend anyway i am not sure should i buy A10 from him or x4?
 
Yea i thought at first to buy maybe fx-6300 and to keep my mobo i know its good cpu,ofc 8xxx are better:). In my country, Serbia, price for A10-6800k is around 150$ and that asus FM2 mobo is around 100$ and i'd like to buy cpmponents in local stores. He will sell me those 2 and cpu cooler for around 130$ and it under warranty for 2 more years. Also ill have better mobo with USB 3.0 and new socket:).
