G3258

Hey Sup Forums is this processor still a meme? It's currently $50 at my local micro center. current setup has a fx-6300 that isn't exaclty cutting it in CPU bound games like Arma 3 and DAYZ. I also work in music production where the fx 6300 can disappoint at stock clock speeds. Should I switch for these reasons? I don't plan to play many triple A games that suggest more than 2 cores.

I currently have my fx 6300 at 4.3 ghz
I plan to OC the g3258 if do get it.

have 6 cores
want to get 2 cores

Yup, it's pretty much a huge meme. A ton of games won't even start because it only gives you 2 threads to use. The rest have massive frame rate drops and glitches.

what if i don't like amd

>have 6 amd cores
>want to have 2 intel-cores, which almost equal 6 amd cores, or equal 1 Power8 core.
I think it worth for single-thread programs (very old games). Modern game-engines have support for 16 threads.

>what if i don't like amd
Then why did you get an AMD processor in the first place fuckstick.

Anyway wait for Zen, it's going to shit all over intel.

This pic makes me butthurt. I fucked up with my i3 4330, especialy because I use Gentoo.
