The strongest CPU is the best choice - http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-3450-vs-AMD-FX-6300 - The i5

please don't reference CPU Boss.

as for single threaded performance even the old intel CPUs are better than the FX. but if you'll be overclocking you might get some performance gains from the increased clock rate of the FX as well as the extra cores.

so in short: depends on how you use it.

CPU Boss is great.

CPU Boss is great.

i guess for generic questions that provide no real insight to the users specific needs then a generic answer is appropriate.

 

[i7Baby]

Just like this one. If he said for different games etc might be different.

right, that was the point i was trying to make. OP could have easily just done a web search for "which cpu is better..." and gotten as much or more information that we have given them. saving us 90 seconds of our life that we'll never get back. *sigh*

You're not allowed to say "g**gle" here. I got banned for it.

[TofuLion]

didn't know that. thanks. fixed.

no question - i5 all the way.

even an i5 2500k is better than any FX processors.

See http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

Most i5s are better than most FXs.
