AMD fx 6300 or 6300 black edition?

[Dogxat]

I am going to buy a new cpu in the next few days and I wanted to know if I should buy the normal one or the black edition. What are the differences betwenn them?

They are the same CPU. The "black edition" is the original, and it is referring to a new version of the FX-6100.

Yes, they are the same thing. Just a different name.

Might be too late for the op but 6300 is nowhere near the same as a 6100.

6300 is Vishera and 6100 is Zambezi. Vishera is much better.

Vishera architecture is 5-20% better at the same clock speeds.

"Black edition" means nothing though.
