No less than 16384

6/12

Intel's current flagship + 1

5 years? 8/16 for gaymen. 16/32 for a workstation.

Surfing and multimedia - 2c4t
Casual games, light CAD, video editing - 4/6 cores
Enthusiast gaming, heavy CAD - 6, 8 cores @ 4+GHz
Servers - max cores min GHz

1 unless you're a faggot nigger monkey

next gen consoles will be 8/16 so that or more.

depending on usage
2 or 4 should be fine unless you need to do some extremely heavy tasks.
Don't fall for planned obsolescence.

Hello, Incel

???
retard

this but unironically

sweety have sex
for real though, is there any better bait than the incel meme?

6/12 if you go AMD, 8/16 for Intel since you'll probably need to disable hyper threading at some point.

>need to disable hyper threading at some point.
Why?
If you say anything about enterprise vulnerabilities, your post is immediately disregarded. They do NOT affect consumers.

>security is not important!

For the average joe it's not.

I disabled every meltdown/spectre patch months ago and jack shit has happened.

I also never update windows because it's shit.

8 should be the sweetspot. Ryzen 7 3700x looking real good.

6 seems to be good, I use an i5 9400 and it's pretty gud.

Wouldn't hurt to get an 8 core though.

The Core2Duo Gen3 in my T400 is perfect for most of the shit I use a computer for.

let me guess
you dont run any anti virus program because they are useless right?

Not enough if Javascript keeps being used.

For general work?..2. For what purpose? Gaming?...4. For high resource programs or VM?...6. A 10yo 6 core will be fine for the next 20 years, so buying anything today of any note should last at least as long, providing it doesn't simply die of course. Why? Because CPU tech is a dead end now. Instead of making faster CPUs they are needing to make CPUs with tons of cores to make up for the soon-to-be failure of Moore's Law. Adding more cores will also start to hit a hard wall of diminishing returns. Eventually, devs will start to/be forced to make programs that are more streamlined, less bloaty, and require less resources.
