Intel G4560 vs FX-6300 with ddr3L

[amcendar]

I was looking at upgrading from am3+ to 1151 and keeping my 32gb of ddr3L ram:

Best Motherboard I have found is: ASUS B150-PRO D3
This is the link for it > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16...
--Initial cost is $94.99, but it has a $30 mail-in rebate until 3/31/17 which will bring it down to $64.99.

I have researched G4560 vs FX-6300 and it's seems like a good upgrade if your using ddr4 vs ddr3 respectively; however, I have found nothing about performance of G4560 vs FX-6300 when both are using ddr3.

Does anyone know a place/link where someone has benchmarked or compared under this condition?

If not, then I'll just wait and save for ddr4 and MB.

Thanks,

DDR3 & DDR3L are different. I'm not even sure if FM3+ motherboards support DDR3L, are you sure that's what you have?

The only difference is the voltage. I have Mushkin Stealth @ 1.35v (4 x 8gb sticks). There is a ddr3 of this same brand, but that runs at 1.5v.

Current Build is:
MSI 970A-G43 Plus (AM3+)
FX-6300
Considered Build is: (If there is a performance increase when G4560 is paired with ddr3!)*** stress on the if
ASUS B150-Pro D3
Intel G4560

All other parts will remain the same.

As said the DDR3 those processors officially support is DDR3L which use lower voltages.
So the RAM you have with your FX-6300 system if you already have one isn't necessarily compatible. Maybe you even use RAM which use higher than standard DDR3 voltages.

In some titles the FX-8000-series seem to do quite a bit better than the G4560 whereas the i3 7350 may be beating it.
It likely depend on the title but I don't really know whatever I think a G4560 is all that much of an upgrade from the FX-6300. Sure it may be better in a bunch of titles but you're also spending money on it and it's not the best.

Keep what you have for some time more? Eventually you'll be able to get Ryzen 3 for i3 prices and Ryzen 5 for i5K price. A quad-core Ryzen chip is likely more attractive than a G4560, sure it will cost a bit more and neither will really support DDR3 but ..
With Coffee Lake Intel may introduce a 6 core processor themselves and then maybe the dual-cores will all be in G-price point and the quad-cores could move towards i3 prices?

So you already got actual DDR3L?
I don't know what clock-rate it is but I would assume using DDR3 doesn't make it all that much worse.
However I've seen i3 gaming benchmarks where faster RAM does make quite a large difference so that may be incorrect.
Of course you being able to keep on using your RAM make it more attractive but I still don't think FX-6300 to G4560 sound like a very attractive "upgrade"/sidegrade.

Regardless of DDR3/DDR4 ram the pentium will perform similarly as to your research.

Yes, I have DDR3L.

I was set up to go to Ryzen 7 until they dropped the ball on not following through with being backwards compatible with am3+ in February. So, a new MB, DDR4 and CPU just wasn't going to happen this month.

This wasn't meant to be an upgrade, but rather an interchangeable build. Side-by-side AMD/Intel. I've been with amd and never tried intel, so I wanted a build that would be a good comparison to find out if I want to stick with amd/ryzen or change out to intel/kaby lake since I'm going to have to buy a new MB and DDR4 anyway.

Numbers are good on video and chats, but I'd like to get a hands on feel for intel myself and the g4560 with it's comparison to fx 6300 looked like a good way to do it.
