FX 6100 is faster when overclocked then Phenom II X4 OC too. I tested them both, becpuse i had PII X4 955BE before FX 6100 on same board. Phenom was on 4.0Ghz, and FX 4.5Ghz. I coud push my Phenom to 4.2Ghz for benches, but i opted for 4.0Ghz as average for max 24/7 overclock on Phenom. FX 6100 is about 4.5Ghz also average high overclock, but i coud run all benches on 4.8Ghz ( i did it
. I can say for sure that FX 6100 is faster. The fact is that Phenom is very good in comparation to FX in older programs. New programs witch utilise new instructions, Phenom is well behind, and offcourse in well threaded programs. As for Intel side. i3 2100 is NO competition for FX 6100. I woud bet that FX 6100 @ 4.5Ghz ( witch is possible i think with stock cooler ) is FASTER on global then i5 2300 or 2400. FX 6100 isnt super fast chip, but ist very deacent chip when one look the price of it. And FX 6100 gains easily 30% do 40% performance when its overclocked moderate.

I just needed a CPU that would perform better in games. I hope to see things get better with AMD CPU's
