Will this be a good upgrade for my fx4300?
I don't game anymore on pc.
Also going from 8gb of DDR3 to 16gb of DDR4 then.
It's a much modern CPU, but same or less powerfull... My Athlon 2** GE replace a Pentium G3258 and i am (really) happy with the gain for money of this computer.
The gain will be on the memory and the much modern plateform.
Don't go with the A320 chipset, the B450 is the minimum to have a good experience with this CPU (and price A320 Vs B450 will be the same).

Haha i see ,well i guess i should be reading more carefully to read better behind the lines in the future :p . And yes your 6600 leaves the 3000g in smokes.
@Youkinen yes they had phenom 1/2 and athlons and some would say the fx6xxx where 3 core....others will say 3 modules 6 cores ...., so far it seems the ccx's on the ryzen and ryzen+ configuration work only in equal pairs so 1+1 2+2 3+3 4+4 from the leaked presentation it appears that is not a limit anymore on ryzen 2 thought so we might see that but i doubt it .
@schmidtbag @Venix I was just joking, guys. Maybe I used pronouns too much, making the post confusing and the joke lost. My gamer's obsolete Intel 6600K is still more powerful than this Athlon 3000G. I didn't try to say I'd have no use for Ryzen 3700x, though most of the day I wouldn't, but since the next consoles will be 8/16 systems, I consider it the safest bet since I plan to stick to it for many years. I suppose reencoding my videos would also speed up, which would be nice.

The AMD 3 cores were defective 4 cores with 1 core disabled... most of the problem were from that point, it wasn't build as a 3 cores.
On that segment you have a lot of 2 cores CPU, most of them with 2c/4t, that perform very well.
Even if, as an exemple, some game need 4c CPU as a minimum, i was able to run them without much issue on my old Pentium G3258 2c/2t (it impress me a lot), why have more core that consume more and need more limitation like 4c/8t running in 2c/2t in idle like intel ultra low TDP line? even more at that low price.
Is there some good reason why one wouldn't make... Let's say 3c 6t cpu? At that price point or even like 60 moneys it would be kick ass and probably as easy to produce since the chips probably have way more usable cores than 2 anyways. I remember AMD had some 3 core cpus at some point, but there were some issues... right?

Not impressed with the FARCRY 5 results. A patch came out a few days ago for the missing CPU SSE instruction set and my Phenom X4 965BE at 3.7GHZ, 8GB DDR2 Ram ( yes DDR2) RX560 4GB, Windows 7 & an old school 1TB mechanical hard drive on ULTRA settings at 1080P was 37-45FPS!
