Amd fx 6300 vs intel pentium g5400 which is the best option?

The AMD FX 6300 has been one of AMD's most successful processors under the Bulldozer modular architecture, a pre-zen-era design that passed with more pain than glory, but that not everything was wrong with these processors. NJ Tech has tested it against the current Intel Pentium G5400 to see which is the best option in current games.

AMD FX 6300 vs Intel Pentium G5400, Piledriver still holding up the type

Intel Pentium G5400 is a dual-core, four-wire processor that is based on the Coffee Lake architecture and operates at a clock speed of 3.7 GHz, by contrast, the AMD FX 6300 is a silicon consisting of six cores based on the Piledriver architecture and operating at a speed between 3.5 GHz and 4.1 GHz.

Video encoding tests show that the AMD FX 6300 is a slightly more powerful processor, its six cores overpowering both Intel cores, however much the latter are more powerful. This means that the AMD processor offers more gross performance, although the difference is not great, and our Piledriver performance deficiency per core.

We go to the games and see that both perform similarly, although the Intel Pentium G5400 seems to be a tad higher than its rival, showing that in games the performance by each core is more important.

This shows that the AMD FX 6300 is still a good processor today, although only for undemanding users, and it no longer makes sense to get one with the Ryzen 3 below 100 euros and with much better performance in all types. homework and games.
