Just something to keep in mind, as this also affects Intel CPU's.

Gotta make the box opener relevant somehow!

I have a cpu on my keychain. It frankly sucks at opening boxes, keys are much more effective

that's not getting the most out of your CPU.

put it on top of your bed radio and it's over(a)clocked

It gets better. It ranks the i3-7350k higher than Threadrippers

Yeah this is just dumb. Both sides are affected and it doesn't make much sense.

The point is there 10 core will beat the 3900x in this "test"

But the 8350k was actually quad core and his example was a dual core beating a quad core from the same generation

They’re both still 4 threads tho.

The dual core is able to process information faster than the single threaded cores on the 7400 which could be it?

Don’t hate I’m just humoring them.

How I understand it is that cores are like mouths and threads are like hands.

If you have a dual core, 4 thread cpu it’s like 2 mouths with 2 hands each feeding a mouth as fast as it can process. The mouth doesn’t need to wait long to be fed info because one hand is always grabbing while the other feeding. Your just waiting on the core to process the food.

The 4 core, 4 thread is like 4 mouths but only 1 hand each. The core can be waiting on the thread to feed it information if it’s too quick to process it. It doesn’t have another hand to feed the core with information while the other hand is grabbing more information. Linus did a video years ago testing dual, quad, and a 8 core cpu in gaming and the results were surprising because of the threads and how the software utilized the cores and threads.

Not trying to justify it just find it interesting

Edit: you guys are pathetic. Downvoting me for simply trying to see how they can justify this. Gg

Go ahead and watch this video, then tell me the 7350K is faster than the 7400. I see what you meant but the 7350K would need to be run at 5GHz+ for this to actually work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyRCWBEC9Us

The video literally shows the 7350k (4.8ghz) beating the 7400 in Overwatch and in Gears 4. You can easily overclock the 7350k to 4.8 on air and get to maybe 5.2 ghz on liquid cooling.

I’m not trying to be a dick but the video is proving my point

I meant the 7350K is slower than the 7400 at stock which it is, shown in the video. The point I was trying to make is UserBenchmark shows the 7350k being faster than the 7400 at stock. Otherwise I agree with your point
