The 2500k, now that was a good CPU

fx8350 has aged really well

>he loves the CPU that started the decade of stagnation

phenom ii x6 was and still is a beast

the 7950, now that was a card

that would be ivy bridge, not sandy bridge

lol

I am still running a 2500k. It's been running at 4.8GHz for 8 years.

the human eye can't see over 78fps though

I've been running one at stock clocks for 5 years. Maybe I just fucked up the thermal paste but it just wouldn't boot above 3.8ghz.

My e6600 lives on as my media pc.

ive never personally seen a 2500 or 2600 that wouldnt do 4.4

3500K > 2500k

AMD K6-2 266Mhz. Now that was a CPU. Great value for the money and easily outperformed a Pentium II 300Mhz. Throw a Voodoo 2 in that bad boy and you'll be running Half Life at 30 fps in 1024x768. Those were the days.

R9 290x,now THAT was flagship GPU

1024x768 was SLI exclusive though, single Voodoo2 was limited to 800x600.

There is no 3500k, you mean 3570k which is basically the same CPU

2500k is the longest lasting CPU I've had, 8 years next year. Time for Ryzen 3600x soon should last 5+ years.

Now the 7970 with an FX-8350, that was a killer combination.

2500K still in use in my main PC. Might upgrade to Zen 2 if IPC is good.

Why would you lie on the internet? The K6-2 was known for being SHIT with floating point numbers, that means bad performance for anything 3D except for some game optimized for 3DNow! (one every 1 hundred)
It was good value for the money, that was the only reasonable thing you said.
The good thing about those shitty processors is that their paired well with a Voodoo because they were less dependent on the CPU than Nvidia's counterpart, that doesn't mean it did beat a Pentium 2.

Those were the lies I told myself when I owned it.

Enjoy your 50% performance loss

>Multicore doesn't matter!

I disabled those patches. Who gets viruses in 2018?

I went from the e8400 to the 4790... Still using it now. Probably wont upgrade till 2020.

I'm in the same spot, went form Q6600 to the FX-8350 (yes worse ipc than core 2 somehow) and I'll ride out 2020 and beyond if I can get by.

this, my friend was used a Core2duo e7500 with 4gigs ddr3 1333 of ram with a HD 6570. Now plans to buy a pc gamer, I want to help him but is too conformist and ignorant.

Same. I don't see any reason to upgrade unless Zen 2 is amazing and DDR4 prices go down.

SECURITY DON'T MATTER

Lmao I wonder how long the list is gonna get of things that don't matter to Intel cucks.

i'm still running a 2500k and a 7950, still works, and i still haven't figured AMD's new RX numbering scheme

classy machine. I had the equivalent AMD machine but with a 5770 HD. It was the coming of age machine for me.

>still haven't figured AMD's new RX numbering scheme
>tfw never cared about AMD's new cards because of this even though they perform better.

I have a i5 2500 non-k in my machine

I think I'm finally going to upgrade to a new computer next year. I have my sights set on a very budget build that is going to blow my current computer out of the water in terms of performance. When the 3000 series Ryzen chips come out, the Ryzen 5 2600 is going to go down in price or, from what I've heard, the Ryzen 3 3000 chips will be on-par with a 2600 for $100. Gonna work off of that and get either a radeon 570 or 580 for $100 as well.

I'm just hoping that ram will drop in price too. 2019 will be a great year to build a decent modern PC for under $500.

The patch for spectre that disabled branch prediction didn't have a hit on performance. The optimization was extremely hit or miss and did fuckall during compilation and only really had a performance impact on profiled binaries, of which there are almost none.

I'd say 2018 with the Ryzen 2000 chips was the best year to build a sub 500 dollar pc, a low end 2400g is faster than my FX-8350 machine, now there are certain retro comparability things I like with that chip, and it wasnt bad for the price in it's day, but it's been obsoleted.

it was much cheaper than a 2500k so your point is moot.

This, the 3570K cost $50 more than an FX-8350, it's not as powerful on the multi core, and you'll need to spend more on a Z77 board to change the multiplier on it, something people don't seem to mention when they say the the i5 2500K or 3570k to be period correct, is the end all CPU.

>oh no I can't spend $50 extra on a machine I'll use daily for at least a few years, who needs good performance anyway?

Why the fuck would you buy those chips?

The i3-8350k is 4GHz stock and hits 5GHz easily with stock cooling. Shit costs $130, sub $500? Are you fucking joking nigger? AMD has nothing that comes close.

based meme *sips*

I mean, this stupid prick is talking about processors from literally 5 or 6 generations ago.

That isn't a slight oversight, this nigger is full AMD retarded.

It's more than 50$ delta if you want the board to overclock it because locked skus don't matter, I know intel users are kinda dumb and would put a 2500K on an H61 board, though.

I'm trying to keep it period correct, the i3 8350K didn't really exist in late 2012, yes obvious FX was a hard sell at the end of it's life even in 2016 where the i3 7350K overclocked to hell would be a viable option if you were gaming.

Oh boy, the retarded tripnigger manlet has arrived.

5820k, now there's a real man's chip.

>period correct
If you really were, Intel would always have the cheaper faster processors, you completely ignore the core 2 duo or pentium series that literally cost under $50 at the time and blasted the shit out of the FX.

is this the X220 of cpu?

That pic is comfy as fuck. 30-year-old boomer reporting.

I upgraded from a Q6000 I got for $48 to the FX-8350 and the 8350 is way fucking better, the ipc of it is the same when one core per module is used and mine does 4.5GHz with a low voltage, putting me on par with an i7 920, and it performs even better with 8 threads rocking, an 8350 at 4.5GHz performs like an i7-4770 on multicore, getting the same 730 points on cinebench.
