Is it worth to upgrade?

Is it worth to upgrade a processor from fx8300 3.3ghz to ryzen 2200g?
Thanks

Depends on your uses. For gaming it would be a moderate upgrade. You'll also have to buy a motherboard, RAM and possibly a new Windows license.

I would say yes http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-Ryzen-3-2200G-vs-AMD-FX-8300/m441832vsm7163

The 2200G is much better than the fx8300. The difference will be night and day.

Yes, yes and yes. If you're gaming, then how much of a difference you see depends on what GPU you have right now. For general purposes, it's definitely much faster. For workstation purposes, it depends. In general, they are very close together for multi-threaded workloads, but it's not a downgrade.

Keep in mind you will also have to change your motherboard and RAM, so it's a collective upgrade.

It's a big cost, due to needing three things(CPU/motherboard/ram). If you're gaming then you'd also need a videocard. The 2200G does have onboard graphics but I'd rather have an FX 8xxx plus a decent videocard rather than a 2200G and Vega onboard graphics for gaming.
