Are 6 cores worth getting? Or is 4 enough?

If you're not doing heavy parallel tasks then even 2 is enough. Otherwise, the more the better.

And this kids is why monopolies are bad

But will I regret getting 4 cores in 2 years if I could have bought 6?

Depends on what happens in the next 2 years. If tonnes of programs start using 6 cores, you will want 6 cores.

If you are mostly gaming, 4 cores are fine.

2 is enough for a laptop.

4 is enough for a desktop.

6 is enough for a SOHO server.

Get 16 user, threadripper

>2 is enough for a laptop
If you want it to overheat just by watching YouTube I guess

The solution is simple: don't buy Apple.

you're fucking stupid

6 core? What do you need 4 cores for?

I have a 2 core laptop with passive cooling and it doesn't heat up on Youtube.

Just install h264ify you dumb fuck.

With so many people getting 6 and 8 core Ryzen for very reasonable prices, I think you will regret it.

Yes

If you buy overpriced outdated hardware (intel cpu) in year 2017 you are fanboy or idiot.

4 cores that shit on 8 cores

It's a gayme. Do you use your CPU for gay things?

4 core for just browsin and gaymin is perfect, but I'm still on an i5-2500k. That's a 2011 cpu, so my next cpu will be a 6 core coffee lake. Because I'm not upgrading my cpu for another 7 years.

Are you pooing in the street?

How exactly is throttling down the CPU so you can keep the fan off/silent then turning it on when under load overheating?

Streaming 4k takes its toll on any computer.

...

Buy that 18 core CPU. You can never have too many cores.

what's that goy? 6 cores? who needs 4 cores?

Laptop will soon be quad cores, thank you based ayyymad

Single core is all you need.

Too bad intel stutters so it's bad for gayming

Half a core is the future goy! Innovation™!
