Yes it is as it has 6 "Core" processors (CPU) each with its own processor speed (eMVP) all together having an impressive 3GHz clock speed together making an unimaginable 8GHz of processing power all on one processor.. The only way an FX-6300 can't have an FX-6300's performance is if its power consumption drops off at some point from 8GHz+ clocks due to its chips not being individually balanced (EQP). In reality if anything I doubt any consumer product could ever reach any respectable clock speed beyond 4Ghz or more unless they were limited by thermals/power/cooling/VRM (Voltage Regulator Modules) which are only ever designed for 4Ghz+. As long as they don't exceed 4Ghz then they're going nowhere faster because all cooling systems designed for 4Ghz+ will probably not handle any higher clocks until around 6Ghz+.
