AMD FX-6330 and FX-6300 which is good?

FX-6330 is AMD this year's new FX series processor, belonging to the previous generation of FX-6300 upgrade version, mainly CPU frequency has been upgraded, and replaced the new radiator. What's the best FX-6330 and FX-6300? How big is the two CPU performance gap? Below, we will go through the AMD FX-6330 and 6300 performance comparison specific look.

　　First, AMD FX-6330 and 6300 processor parameter comparison

AMD FX-6330 and FX-6300 two processors use the same FX bulldozer architecture, all using the 32nm process, am3+ interface, the following is the AMD FX-6330 and FX-6300 processor parameters, by the way, with its price equivalent of Intel Core i3 4160 to join the comparison , the details are shown in the table below.

AMD FX-6330 and FX-6300 processor parameters comparison

From the comparison of the parameters, the new FX-6330 and 6330 are six cores six thread processors, two-level cache and three-level cache are exactly the same, different only CPU frequency. The new generation of FX-6330 default frequency of 3.6Ghz, can be intelligent overclocking to 4.2Ghz, compared to the thousand-generation products, the frequency of the high 0.1Ghz.

　　Second, AMD FX-6330 and 6300 performance test comparison

For a more intuitive understanding of the FX-6330 and 6330 performance levels, we also joined the i3 4160 platform configuration for comparative testing, the following is the FX-6330 and 6330 and i3 41,603 test platform Computer Configuration, three equipped with the same memory, graphics and other hardware, the difference is only CPU and motherboard.

Due to the same AMD FX-6330 and 6330 supported motherboards, we all use the Asus A97 motherboard, which includes 8GB memory and Dylan R9 370 cool 4G High-end stand-alone graphics, the test platform for the Win7 operating system.

Don't say much, the following directly look at AMD FX-6330, AMD FX-6300, i3 4160 platform CPU computing power and performance on the game, here directly cited the well-known hardware media "bubble net" test data.

　　A) CPU performance test

CPU Basic Performance Testing link, we selected the "Cinebench R15", "Chess", "Wprime" @32m these three items, respectively, the core i3-4160, The default frequency of FX-6330 and overclocking to 4.2GHz after the performance of the FX-6330 test, the results of the following figure.

"Cinebench R15" test results (the larger the number the better)

"Chess" test results (the larger the number the better)

"Wprime" CPU performance test results (the larger the number the better)

From the CPU Operation performance test, AMD FX-6330 Comprehensive operation ability is obviously stronger than FX-6300 some, better than i3 4160. As far as CPU performance is concerned, Fx-6330>fx-6300>i3 4160. It is worth mentioning that, "Wprime" The main test CPU single core capability, from the test results to see, i3 4160 single core performance stronger than FX-6330.

　　b) Game performance test comparison

CPU part of the impact on the performance of the game compared to the graphics card is not so important, the game tested in the choice of Dylan R9 370 cool 4G graphics card is a thousand-level midrange graphics card, with FX-6330 and i3-4160 will not produce CPU performance drag on the back of the video card phenomenon. The choice of "Tomb Raider 9", "Middle-earth: Shadow Mordor" are currently the mainstream of large-scale stand-alone games, testing quality is the highest quality.

"Tomb Raider 9" game test contrast (the larger the number the better)

"Middle-earth: Shadow Mordor" game performance test (the larger the number the better)

From the game performance test results, AMD FX-6330 game performance is slightly stronger than FX-6300, but both by virtue of the six-core six thread, in the game performance in the overall stronger than the dual-core four-thread i3 4160.

　　Comparison of thermal test between FX-6330 and FX-6300

This year's new AMD FX-6330 processor is also equipped with AMD has just released the S3.0 radiator, the use of 10CM mute fan with pure copper four heat pipe cooling structure, cooling has brought some improvements.

Since the FX-6330 is different from the FX-6300 boxed heatsink, let's take a look at the heat dissipation of these two CPU platforms, and the test results refer directly to the media data, as shown below.

FX-6330 and FX-6300 boxed CPU temperature test comparison

From the CPU temperature test comparison, FX-6330 generally use the maximum temperature of 49 degrees, and overclocking, the maximum CPU temperature of 64 degrees. The previous generation of FX-6300 CPU temperature, is 50 degrees and 68 degrees respectively. From the CPU thermal performance, FX-6330 equipped with a new radiator, in the CPU cooling also brought a significant increase.

　　Comparison Summary:

Although the AMD Next generation FX-6330 compared to FX-6300 in the process, the structure, the interface aspect does not upgrade, is only the CPU frequency and the radiator upgrade, therefore may say FX-6330 belongs to the predecessor's small enhancement Upgrade edition. From the performance test results, Fx-6330>fx-6300>i3 4160, for gamers, FX-6330 is more recommended, and this CPU equipped with a new radiator, resulting in better cooling performance.

AMD New S3.0 Radiator

Overall, FX-6330 compared to FX-6300 is mainly CPU performance slightly upgraded, radiator upgrades belong to a major aspect, more suitable for new AMD installed users recommend.
