AMD FX-6300 Black Edition Pro Reviews

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

By virtue of its Black Edition status, the overclocking is relatively easy and gives you multiple ways - baseclock or multiplier - to get to the highest frequency you can. Being able to run happily at 5GHz is nothing to be sniffed at and has the makings of a top budget CPU.

For the time being, AMD is done with the Vishera CPU lineup and everyone should be happy with the results. They’ve increased performance across the board, are competing with or beat Intel's similarly priced solutions on many fronts and have proven that affordability doesn’t have to come with a reduced feature set. While the FX-4300 didn’t quite meet our expectations due to its desperate need for a price reduction, the six-core FX-6300 is currently one of the best bang-for-buck CPUs on the market and it is poised to blaze a new trail for Vishera.

TechSpot‘s review Edit

The bottom line is that the Piledriver FX series provides a quick, affordable upgrade for folks still using lower-end K10 hardware, but there isn't a lot to see for those running high-end Phenom II X4 and X6 processors, regardless of how cheap the new parts may be. For those building a fresh rig from scratch, Ivy Bridge will likely still be more attractive thanks to its superior single thread performance and efficiency.

AMD is keeping their head above water, and it looks like with Vishera we will actually see some product refreshes over the next year. Certainly the FX-6300 and FX-4300 will be getting updates, but I fully expect to see a 4.2 GHz base clock FX-8300 series processor down the line. As long as AMD is able to hang on and be a viable choice in the CPU market, then we as consumers will continue to be better served by both AMD and Intel. If AMD were to falter and vanish, then we would be stuck with a monopoly on the desktop PC side. At least in mobile we have some very aggressive ARM based products out there, but the desktop and server world will be poorly served by only one manufacturer.
