Literally nothing uses more than 4 cores.

Go with the times grandpa

Cheaper and performs better than the competition.
Extra cores is just a bonus.

because muhVMs
I upgradet from a e5 2670 (8c/16t sandy bridge) to a R7 1700 3 weeks ago and its better in every single way without breaking the bank.
Also picrelated.jpg does no longer happen

What the shit was going on with your system?

>run multiple applications using 4 cores
What now?

You say that but I've had a lot of fun with KVM on here.

Your system config is fucked not the E5

got 3 laying around. I'm thinking of soldering on to my Raspberry Pi and running Windows 10 on it.

thats just me doing things the system wasn't build for (running a 2008 space sim)

However my point is, that in the past, if you needet better multi core performence than the top mainstrem i7, you could either get a used xeon (which is shit for games), or pay 1k $ to shilltel to get an enthusiast cpu. But now with ryzen i can still run muhgaymes, have all them cores for actually getting shit done and not go broke in the process.

>le shitpost faec xDDDDDD

so why are all my eight cores working like crazy when i play games ? serious question.

since intel fake their benchmarks back in the days i do not trust them in any way. also AMD is a 10.000 man business. i always vote for the underdog.

Other programs are sending all your data to China and Microsoft, and Russia is encrypting your porn. With Ryzen, you can game with this going on in the background no problem!

Maybe so if all you do is gaym

Because OP is retarded. Modern games make use of all the cores you can throw at them. A lot of tasks can be done in parallel.

Say you have 8 cores. 8 threads are created to do tasks that can be done in parallel. Then, say the game has 100 tasks to do in one frame. The first 8 tasks get pushed on the 8 threads. Now there are 92 tasks left. As soon as the first task ends, the next task is given to the thread that just finished. Now there are 91 tasks left. And so on.

You can install Gentoo twice as fast

I got one for gaming, believe it or not it's better than 2600

Because why should you want 4C/8T if you can get 8C/16T for the same price and know they will be useful in the future.

thx man. heres a puppy for you

...

I'll treasure this puppy

Um, for building software in parallel?
Eg, make -j16

>after getting massive stutter on his i5 7500, Pajeet goes in Sup Forums and earns some shillbux to get a 7700K
