That's a great budget CPU, if you're just gaming it is one of the best CPU's for the money.

The 8320 is actually 3.5Ghz stock.And you can't just say a higher clock speed means a better CPU?So a 4Ghz 8350 beats my i7 4770k @ 3.5ghz?lol.

Did I say that? NO!
What i mean is 4.0ghz in a newer cpu is a good upgrade, as compared to his 3.8ghz in an older cpu. He can also overclock it beyond that 4.0ghz point and get better performance out of it.

I get your point,but still its not all about clock rate.

yeah i know its about cores and overall performance aswell, and the newer chip is probably more power effiecient aswell. Would you agree?
