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'm not ready to move on, everything works perfectly.
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.

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.
