Well here is the thing.....first of all also depend with what motherboard you will pair this cpu's because 1620 v2 is unlocked and it can be OC easily beyond 4ghz on some decent mobo...second E5 2620 V3 is 6c/12t so you have more threads even if is it maybe a bit slower on single core performance you will have more power under the "hood" which is also important in gaming + turbo unlock hack works on cheap Chinese motherboards so this CPU probably can work on 3,2Ghz on all cores and then his IPC wil be better....Which performs better in gaming in term of avg FPS in games?
E5 2620 v3 turbo boost unlocked vs E5 1620 v2 3.8 Ghz
Been looking for this benchmark online but there's only OC'ed 1620 vs 2620 v3 UTB video on YouTube
The 8gb 1620 v2 setup is about ~25$ cheaper than that of 2620 v3
If 2620 v3 is like only avg 2-4 fps better , I'll take 1620 v2 for better price to performance![]()
If you do not planing to do any OC or turbo-bios-hack and you asking just for stock speed between these 2 cpu's then I guess it will really depend of the game you playing because most/older games still prefer "few"faster cores BUT newer games starting to like more cores/threads and sometimes even if they are slower they can give you more FPS in certain situations......
It's a close race between these 2 but In this case I will pick 2620 v3.....saying that even 6c/12t is not enough anymore maybe you can look for some cheap 8c/16t solution?
If you have somewhere 1 more fan put it on it it will work GREAT on CM T20 as twin-turbo and sometimes temps can go down drastically....Yesterday just put Cooler Master Hyper T20 cooler for 90W TDP X3360, conclussion:
On 100% CPU load on WCG & other GPU projects top temp is 75C - according to Tthrottle monitor.
Just putting my 2 cents here for an info, about a 10€ cooler.![]()
