It wouldn't be a suicide if it is priced accordingly, higher than FX-6xx0 that is. Actually, I expect AMD to gradually replace FX quads and hexas with APUs anyway.

Crysis 3 is very core aware, it pretty much demands 4+ cores to run fluidly but Hyperthreading is supposed to help alot. Perhaps trade your i3 for an i5?

An i7-2600k still retails at 303 euros minimum here with an i7-3770k starting at 306. The i5-2500k actually is 10 euros more expensive than it was 18 months ago (195-205) with the i5-3570k practically refusing to drop below 212. Hell, If...
