Most games don't use 8 CPU cores. They are more dependant on single thread performance (or 2 or 4 core performance).
The i3-7100 has much better single thread performance than the old FX-8300.

So it is no surprise that the i3 is better is gaming.
In other application that can use 8 cores the FX-8300 is better.
All of the chips you mention are slow compared to current high end chips.
This isn't really anything to do with Windows patches.

Astonish Intel cpu downgrades after vulnerability patches !
Helo Greatings from Brasil, i just signed to this forum to tell you what i observed in the cpu benchmarks charts about Intel cpus.
My brother has a i3-7100 cpu and i was amazed about its performance in games and in game emulators, since the i3-7100 and G4560 (2 cores 4 threads) competed with FX-8300 (with 8 cores).
Today i was astonished when i was looking for some cpus pontuation in Passmark high end cpu chart and i dont found my brother's i3-7100 neither G4560 in the high cpu chart. Last time i saw this chart my cpu FX 6300 was behind i3-7100 and G4560 but now these 2 cpus are behind my FX 6300, and in the midle-low cpu chart!
I think it is because of Windows Vulnerability patches aplied from Windows Update automaticaly.
Its astonish this to me.Tags: None
