2500k upgrade

Should I upgrade this bad boy to the Ryzen 5 2600 or am I insane for considering upgrading #neverobsolete tech?

Ah.. just like the curse/blessing of the Q6600. Post more immortal hardware

That shit can't even play games anymore, only really old shit.

wait for r5 3600

Go balls-deep, 3900X.

get the 3700x when it's out july 7th, 329$ for 8core 16thread at 65w is basically the "new" 2600k for how long it's going to remain relevant.

>tfw no rush to upgrade so probably will wait for AMD to dump their Zen+ stock on black friday for 30% off

What are you on now?

Depending on your mb you may push it a little further

i went from 2500k to 2600x last month
it was a noticiable upgrade
id wait for the next 3000 to come out and it will be a massive upgrade

Just wait for DDR5.

>to the Ryzen 2600
Zen 2 is only a week away from release, are you retarded?

I'm on the 4770k, I'm not upgrading until I become dissatisfied with its performance.

I have a 7600k at 4.6GHz, is it even worth upgrading for me yet?

noticable?
2600x is only 18% faster in single core speed than 2500K.

This is what bothers me... I'm on 2500K overclocked at 4,4ghz right now..which means that per core the difference is even smaller.

kinda sucks

:) no, im not disabling hyperthreading

2500k
serves me well, but it's starting to show its age
It hasn't failed me yet, but I also don't push it too hard, replacement mobos and DDR3 aren't going to get any cheaper in case something kicks the bucket

there is still nothing that actually utilizes >6 cores yet, why would you ever think this is the time to upgrade?
don't listen to the beta-tester AMD shills and you can still make work of an OC'd 2500k for several more years

what are you having problems running?

>4 threads are enough for modern gayms

>muh gayms
You don't need a good CPU for games, that's what the GPU is for.
A 2500k runs a GTX 1660/RTX 2060 just fine.
You can fuck off back to .

>A 2500k runs a GTX 1660/RTX 2060 just fine.
lol no it doesn't a 2500k dont even run windows 10 just fine

The fuck are you even talking about, you dumb shits keep thinking there is some arbitrary limit to threading
Most software including games that was designed multi threaded will use all available cores except for old ass shit that is "multi threaded" (2) threads.

> GPU bottlenecking a PC built for gaems
Even GTX970 is pushing it at stock clocks, 1060/1070 assuming a 4.5ghz OC.

works on my machine

>The fuck are you even talking about, you dumb shits keep thinking there is some arbitrary limit to threading Most software including games that was designed multi threaded will use all available cores except for old ass shit that is "multi threaded" (2) threads.
there is
The 9600k gets as many or more frames as a 2700x despite having 10 threads less and totally gimped multi-core performance in comparison.
You do not need 65536 threads for gaming, end of story.

Had a 2500k for 8 years. It held up fine. It could still hang with a RX 480/1070 but that's it's upper limit when overclocked. Ram speed makes a big difference and you could probably sit on it till 2021 if all you cared about was 1080p 60fps on most titles.

It's WIndows 10 that doesn't run "just fine" - a 2500k is more than enough for the requirements of that (or any x86_64) OS

>2600x is only 18% faster in single core speed than 2500K.
ryzen 1200 is more than 18% faster in SC already retart

what?

>100ns ddr4 latency
No thanks

2500k easily goes up to around 4.5ghz on a 120mm tower cooler which narrows the gap. It's why I waited for zen2.
