It's definitely both. Just single thread performance helps quickly load things in.
Alright. Finally, for fucks sake, I get an answer. Thank you.
i3 offers better value, so you should be looking at an i5 versus the 8320e
I don't agree; I think the i3 would perform better because most games run smoothly on a single thread. Plus, they're now more overclockable.
Photoshop leverages multiple cores for specific operations, though it doesn't behave like video editing where each core delivers instant results. You'd likely notice minimal variations between the two CPUs in Photoshop, which is why choosing the i3 offers a more contemporary setup with a smoother upgrade experience.
It's a bit of a stretch, but I'd opt for a more powerful setup. I imagine starting with a budget MSI or ASRock Z170 board, boosting the clock speed, and eventually upgrading to an i7-6700K or its newer version. Comparing the i3-6100 to the FX-8320e shows the i3 struggles with single-core tasks, while the FX-8320e performs better in multi-threaded scenarios. That's what matters most for real performance.
