aaaaah thank you so much for clearing that up. I think I can settle myself with a nice hawell refresh 3.5 GHZ core i3 and use the extra money towards a better GPU you know.
I figured something was wrong with the intel pricing if a i3 didnt use 4 threads in games because why then would the i3 and 6 core fx 6300 even be the same price it didn’t make sense.
But now I see, due to intel having better performance per core and boost of HT bringing up the i3 to 4 threads it can technically come close to the performance of a fx 6300.
Good thing I figured this out here before selling my good intel system to buy a AMD now all I have to do is swap out the CPU which only takes a few seconds LOL
