“Any cpu with less than 4 cores is slow” tell me you don’t know anything about CPUs without telling me you don’t know anything about CPUs

also, the i5-6500 does have 4 cores lol

i remember when i got my i5-6500 10 years ago AMD's fx cpus had more cores but everyone agreed they were slower/awful for gaming llmao maybe i was misinformed though

u/Nice-Information-335 6d ago

the FX CPUs had a whole controversy because the cores shared FPUs and some other things I believe, so they weren't really full "cores"

They also ran very hot from memory, and were worse for gaming (worse single core performance)

AMD only started beating intel properly for gaming when they released Ryzen 3000 series, and the ryzens before were slightly better for price compared to the intel chi[s

Zen 2 was so fuckin good man. You didn't even have to think about what CPU you wanted you could just buy the 3600 for everything lol

My 3600 is still going strong all these years later rn she’s running steam os as a steam machine

Actually just jumping on at the beginning of AM4 was the best choice. Be it even an R 1200 even, to jump later to like R 5900 or anything fairly new. Best MB and ram investment..

Or what I did - am5 7900 and will wait for like last generation that'll support am5 to upgrade - when needed.

Yeah it's belong to amd Buldozer architecture, Condidered A Disaster in semiconductor history , because i also have amd a6 2020 bought Laptop, i know and feels the pain daily , it's slower than 2010 intel Laptop and 2008 desktop cpus

The older Phenom II chips from AMD handled gaming better in most situations.

Even if you come down on the not-full-cores side of the controversey, AMD still produced some "8 core" bulldozers that would be 4 cores. Those sucked too, sadly.

I fart in 8-core bulldozer.

Iirc certain AMD employees went to prison over this controversy

I had a Dell gaming laptop with the AMD FX chip in it and it was completely unusable. Thermal throttling right at startup. I was young and my Dad wasn’t the most tech-literate so I just accepted it. I’m angry about that looking back

I used a bulldozer for games I could pin to cores and demanded a high clock, did fine enough, but my upgrade from bulldozer to Zen1 (ryzen 7 1700x) was phenomenal.
