i3 6320 or i3 6100

[Nylund1998]

Hi, So what should i get, is there any difference between them? other than i3 6320 is 56$ more expensive where i live. Is it even worth 56$ more?

Sorry for bad English.

It's not worth it , get the 6100.

 

[gilbadon]

Yeah, maybe $5.60.... but not $56

Debatable.
The 6320 has another MB of L2(or L3) cache as well as a higher base clock, that can help more than you'd think.
Both can be overclocked to like 4.4GHz though, provided you have a Z170 board, which makes them pretty competitive with i5s.

if less than 15 go for itotherwise not

Okey thx

the thing is i have to choose between the 16GB ram or to get the I3 6320. But is the 1 more mb of l3 really worth it?

If you're using this for gaming, the faster processor will be more beneficial than another 8GB of ram. IMO, save enough to get a low end i5

6320 no disccussion possible, games dont peform better with 16gb ram.
however if u can get it, get a 6400.

Why the i5 6400 instead of i3 6320? its running on 2.7ghz

 

[superninja12]

because the i5 6400 has got 4 cores compared to the 6320 whioch is 2 cores with hype threading

The Clock rate has very less to do with performance.i5 has more "REAL" cores=4
Get the i3 6100.If you can afford an i3 6320, then you can spen a bit more and get the i5.
Also, the i5 can turbo boost upto 3.3.
An i5 will surely help you and you won't regret it.

hmm okey, my specs are like these

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI
Ram: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 2133MHz
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 SC 2GB
SSD: Samsung 850-Series EVO
Fractal Design nano s
PSU: PSU EVGA Supernova G2 550W
and got a cooler from be quiet! Pure Rock

the only thing left is the processor i got everything at home waiting for an processor but i dont know whats best for me. I can try to get the i5 6600k but if not should i get the i5 6400?

Those "real" cores only help in heavily threaded applications. (BF4 and a few others which are exceedingly demanding on the CPU but not necessarily worth it. The Division is also well threaded, but can be maxed on an i3)
The i3 will perform better when doing normal stuff, and will perform better in MOST games and popular ones like CS:GO and DOTA/LOL.
The i5 would be better if you were doing something like photo editing alot.

If "real" cores mattered, AMD would be the king, but they're barely scraping by, so what does that tell you?

That told me to go with the i3 and upgrade to i7 in the future. Cuz im playing league and csgo only and i will try like assassins creed and farcry but i will just play 1920x1080 if not i just get the big games to 720p and thank you!!
