famous phenom II, best performing cpu of 2018

still have this and a motherboard lying about, but ended up jumping ship to a ryzen apu.
was pretty gud for a cpu about to hit the decade anniversary in the coming years.

Is not that good, i upgraded last year from a x4 965, to an FX-8350 and the difference is like night and day, at least like a desktop CPU, as a server CPU, they are a bit closer, but when you factor OC in you can't beat the FX-8350.

Any modern 15W notebook CPU runs circles around it and uses a tenth of the power including graphics

I got this CPU in 2012 because it was the best price / performance ratio I could get on a budget in 2012 while I was in high school.

Gonna buy a 2700X in a few months now that I've graduated from College and got a big boy job.

Thanks AMD

I still use this exact processor to play games on SteamOS box I set up next to the tv.

Just upgrade from Phenom II X4 few days ago. The only good thing about that was stable USB port.

My dude, I bought a 965 for $90 YEARS ago
Sold it for $80 the other week
Aside the heat and power consumption, totally worth it

It has roughly the same IPC as Piledriver, and Ryzen is like 30% better than Piledriver. Ryzen 2 would be 33% better. It's like comparing the i7 8700K to the i7 920.

In january of 2012 i bought 960t for about 120$ after unlocking it to a 6 core and overclocking to 4ghz it performs like x8350 at 4.3

Steam Link made Steam machines and Steam OS completely pointless.

*2008

Every AMD CPU has been dethroned in the field of audio production.

Heavily use case dependent.

I like SteamOS since it's zero maintenance and runs all the indieshit I play. I don't have other desktop systems so I'd still run it if I was using Steam Link.

In any case SteamOS is a reference platform for porting games onto Linux.

Steam Machines are a complete meme since you can just install the OS on any box.

i bought a 1090t for $30 a few months ago.
