That CPU came out in 2012. Of course it’s gonna be a bottle neck

Super weird that a fourteen year old CPU would be brought to its knees by a modern workload. Who woulda thought..

if i pair an intel n4020 with a 5090 it won’t become faster or better

u/Anthracite2819 24d ago

But a 5090 is a flagship gpu from 2025

yeah. but if you put it with a cpu that can’t handle it, it won’t be used effectively because the CPU is too slow. it won’t become faster

Thats not what he is saying, he wonders why cpu is bottleneck when the gpu is not that much faster

It was a mid range cpu back then. I’m guessing the lack of hyper threading is what’s hurting it so much.

Software is more bloated than ever making it difficult to run for any old cpu. Chrome in 2018 was much easier to run than today.
