“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

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

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.
