I'm currently planning out some rigs build options, I currently have my ideal rig planned out and decided on, but if push comes to shove, I want to have a much cheaper solution vs my build of choice.
My current rig is a laptop and I can tell it's GPU is getting old, and i don't care to spend the money to replace it's GPU. 450+Dollars for a M290X isn't worth the price I could pay for a new rig.
Problem Is It has an i7 3740QM overclocked to 4.05 ghz on 3~4 threads. This CPU vastly outperforms the 6350 in 3dMark FireStrike's Physics benchmark.
I am wondering if this CPU will outperform my current CPU in 2~3 threads for gaming, particularly when overclocked
I'm trying to make sure I don't get screwed on gaming performance CPU wise IF i need to go with a cheaper build.
The 3740QM performs fairly well for every game I currently play, but If the 6350 doesn't stand to outperform the i7 3740QM at 4.05 ghz in gaming performance, then I'd have to design an intel rig.
CPU single/dual/tri core performance is extremely important for the game's I play because most are MMORPGs, which are heavily reliant on single core and dual core clocks being as high as possible.
So will a 6350 be able to out do a 3740QM(4 cores 8 threads) in 2~3 core(threads) performance for gaming?
Edit: my current CPU outperforms the 6300 @4.5ghz by a substatial margin in cinebench 11.5, I found a youtube video for comparsion.
