Did anyone get it? How good is it?
Looking for a cheapo upgrade.(AMD 6350 currently).
Mostly will use for gaming, but also compilation.(gentoo, source based distro)
Thinking of 1600, 1600X and 1700.
Looking at Doze benchmarks, difference between 1600 and 1600X is negligible(+-3%), but 1600 comes with cooler(30$ or so) and is 40$ cheaper.
1700 has more cores, but it has considerably lower speed compared even to 1600, which is bad news then and there, if you are a gamer, since most OpenGL games are not optimized for more than one core.(not optimized at all in fact)
So... Share, 1600, is it worth it? How good is it with games like Deus Ex or Tomb Rader?
Thanks in advance!
