The single-core performance of fx8300 is roughly equivalent to some Intel CPU

The single-core performance is the same as that of the Celeron dual-core. Even weaker.

AMD’s single-core performance is a joke. Fortunately, this CPU has eight cores. A single core cannot compare to eight cores. The overall performance of the eight-core is similar to that of the second-generation I5, and is much better than the I3 in normal use. Because it is a real eight-core CPU, multitasking is rarely fully enabled, and the CPU may not be fully occupied even if the memory is full.

The default frequency is 3.3Ghz. Overclocking to 4.2Ghz has the same performance as the I5-4590. The loose chip costs 660 yuan, which is very cost-effective. The total price with a good radiator is only 800 yuan, which is very cost-effective and has great overclocking potential.
