FPSVersusFX-4350 vs FX-6300
Performance score
By our estimate, FX-6300 beats FX-4350 by 5%.
Both CPUs use the same socket (AM3+), so you can swap one for the other on the same board (check BIOS support).
The score is our own estimate from the specs (cores, threads, clocks, architecture generation), not a benchmark run. 100 = the fastest CPU in our database.
Real tests
What the test measures
Blender is a popular free 3D graphics program. The test makes the device render three ready-made 3D scenes (light, shadows, reflections) and counts how many render passes it finishes per minute. The higher the number, the faster the device handles heavy work: 3D, video editing, photo processing. On a CPU the test loads all cores at once, so it shows the chip's full power; on a graphics card it shows its compute strength.
