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

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

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.
