Intel Core i3 6100 VS. AMD Athlon X4 845

[Mayfey]

Which one would be better for gaming in this age?

These CPUs will be paired with a Nvidia 1050 TI, in case it is important.

Intel Core i3 6100

[Dragonvarine]

Definitely the Intel Core i3 6100

The mobo for the i3 will support cpu's right up to current i7's. Better future-proof.

Skip up to 2:40 ^, save a few bucks and be on the newer platform with the G4560/ddr4 2400mhz/B250 mobo.

^This, you get a cheaper CPU, for close to the same performance, also getting a Kabylake motherboard will support both Skylake, and Kabylake CPU's out of the box, without needing a BIOS update, so you can afford to buy whatever you want down the road later on bewteen the 6th and 7th gen CPU's.

Kabylake motherboards type:
B250
H270
Z270 <--- Overclocking for K series CPU's

Skylake motherboards type:
H110
H170
B150
Z170 <--- Overclocking for K series CPU's

Thanks for the tip, friends. A quick search online is showing that it's available pretty much nowhere, sadly. I saw some on ebay, but it's price is knocked up to near $100, making it kind of pointless.

I'll keep an eye out!

I would say it's worthwhile waiting to get it for $61-$65 when in stock.

Or just grab an i3 7100 with the B250 and DDR4 2400mhz ram.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Just go for i3 7100 + B250 + DDR4-2400

The newer 7th Gen i3 is as powerful as most of the previous gen i5s were; and even the 6th Gen i3 pretty much stomps any AMD stuff to-date; only the newer AMD Ryzen will have anything to offer that evens things up a bit. All the 6th and 7th Gen i3 would be fine up to around a GTX 1060 6GB or RX-480; its really only GPUs above these where you really would need an actual i class CPU in order for the GPU to run like should. So any i3 + GTX 1050 Ti shouldn't be any issues.

Download and use Win10 64bit if you don't have that as well.

In this case the intel is better, those chips are APus without the video, better for low power rigs

Pentium G4560

[Zireth]

the i3 but i would suggest the kably lake one not the skylake at this time. it will do a wee bit better.
