Looking around the FX-4 and FX-6 series are looking like good little overclockers, and the gaming performance matches my Thuban, even beating it slightly sometimes, add to that the FX-6 is cheap and the FX-4100 costs less than an i3 2100.
x86 benchmarks are so predictably consigned to what brand and type of CPU you have, its got so mind numbingly boring.... they also have little if any real relevance to everyday computing, so they are for the most part obscure bragging rights.
((((neeee.... my x6 Thuban can encode x264 FHD faster then your FX-8###, and your 2500K..... yeah so what? how is that important? what benefits do you have with that? i mean really?!?!?))))
What matters is how much does it cost and how smoothly can it play my games, and at what graphics settings?
In that i have nothing on any aforementioned FX, £ for £ nothing from any brand or model type on the market has.
I'm bored stiff with my CPU and i'm struggling to wait for a good look at how IVY or PD stack up.
I hope this itch goes away before i scratch at it too soon.
