Looks a decent little chip but you do need fast RAM to get the best performance:

Err, equivalent AMD CPU's get less than half the performance of a Skylake I3 in games. Just look at the benchmarks posted above. I wouldn't call that 'getting the job done'.

No it doesn't. Even the old FX6300,is holding up far better than the SB and IB Core i3 chips of the same vintage and is holding its own against the much later Haswell chips.

Having actually owned the SB and IB Core i3 chips too,with various mates who have the FX6300,its had decent longevity.
