Review on 💪 AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 Black Edition: 6-Core Processor with Unparalleled Performance by Adam Kaniuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

It's essentially the little brother to the 8350, and it does a great job of keeping up with or exceeding that processor's performance; as such, it competes with Intel's 3570K series of processors, though it's significantly less expensive (as of July 2022, Intel's Core i5 3570K costs $7,000, while AMD's Vishera 8320 costs $4,000). In several multithreaded benchmarks (such as the 3D Studio Max V-Ray benchmark, where my personal favorite, the Vishera 8350, confidently outperforms the flagship i7-3770), it trails the absolutely non-budget Core i7 by only a small margin. However, the 3570k (please note the "K" symbol) is superior to the 8350 in gaming performance, though only at default frequencies (10-20%). This is because, even in their most advanced forms, toys still can't properly distribute and load more than 4 cores. I hung an extra cooler with a diameter of 80 on copper cooling—the idle temperature is 22-32 degrees Celsius (F); in a load, it can get as high as 59 degrees Celsius (F)—and was able to overclock my pebble from its stock 3.5-gigahertz speed to a stable 4.2-gigahertz speed (brought it up to 4.5 GHz, but then there were already blue screen crashes, I sin on my mother). The CPU is best suited for enthusiasts who want to tweak the voltage and see what results they can get in terms of stable operation and temperature. At this pricing point, you may experience the full force and speed of the AMD engineering team's work on this chip. Additionally, the remark regarding 8 cores is not totally correct, but it is misleading to tell Intel enthusiasts that the processor has only 4 cores. This 8-core processor is fully functional, but it has a unique design. Having 8 GB of DDR3 and 120 GB of SSD Kingston HyperX (Read/Write at level 500) makes you realize just how powerful a machine can be. In 12 seconds, W8 will begin. 8.1 percent, memory, and ssd on the W8 rating scale.

Pros
  • At the low, low price of 8, it's both potent and thrifty! Nuclei.
Cons
  • Heat builds up quickly; he's a "hot" guy; adequate ventilation is essential.
