Are the new 4350 and 6350 worth it?

The 4350 is a higher cache than it's predecessor.

For someone building a new PC and who was going to get the 6300 anyway, is it worth getting the 6350?

Should I even perhaps get a 4350?

Thanks

Absolutely... especially if they're the same price!

EDIT: Ah.... I see you have a 450W PSU. Then perhaps you'd be best to get the 6300 one, for power efficiency reason; especially if you plan to OC your GPU. But if you don't plan on doing overclocking, go with the new chip.

These things haven't even hit the shelves yet. Pretty hard to evaluate without real world performance. That being said, if you think the extra 400mhz is worth the 30w increase in tdp for the same price, why not? No way to tell if they are going to o/c as well of if there is a possiblity of finding 2 additional cores, but maybe it's worth the risk to be a guinea pig for these.

Yeah I agree with above
