I made the mistake of getting an e5-2600 series not realizing they're locked down tighter than a nun's asshole
before intel jew'd everyone and stopped the overclocking I heard it was pretty amazing
It was hilariously good in single threading. Any game that favored dual cores ran better than i7s.
hopefully zen will put intel in their place and they will stop doing this shit
but I doubt it
Well, I think zen at best will just close the gap. Hopeful for haswell e performance. But probably closer to somewhere between ivyb and haswell with all shiny new features. Which would be great.
tbh that's all they need to do
I was really hype for it before I bought this used pc
now I don't need to upgrade for a while
AMD's prices will allow most people to use their stuff
for a long time
while Intel takes their sweet time
I was just thinking about this last night though. If they make hexa core cpus. They will undoubtedly be deactivated 8 core units. This provides no guarantee which cores get deactivated, but if they do 1 / module and leave the l3 cache untouched... Well you got some potential there for best perf/$ in a long time.
AMDs stocks sold out
Reason: Mining shitty cryptocurrency :3
well with gayming moving to vulkan/dx12 there is no reason to stick to 4 cores anymore
so more the better I guess
According to synthetics 6 core with smt has the best scaling, the gap between that and a straight 8 isn't that spectacular. And smt barely helps 8 core units. Just depends on the money, though.
All you need to have is a CPU you are sure kan keep up with GPU
Plenty people bought FX due to simple needs
Where I live RX 480 is being sold for the same as GTX 1060
I mean its 5 years later and they are still kind of relevant, a pretty good purchase if you made it back then in my opinion
So it's already decided what I'll buy
@Christian Ly indeed
Piledriver at least managed to beat out the 1100t, barely. They should have just slapped 2 phenom x4's onto a single dye. Fuck. Steamroller is actually pretty acceptable, too bad they didn't put it into their fz lineup.
Video editing? They will do the job with great value
Anything that actually takes advantage of all 8 cores runs pretty damn well for what you pay.
Just like the apus are surprisingly relevant in anything using opencl.
I remember my friend wanted to generate Diffie Hellmandii keys and it was on AMD Operton
Horrible, spent over 1 hour wasn't done, so I pushed it to my Xeon E3/E5 1-core instead, took about 5 minutes?
I guess it's like Intels Celeron CPUs, pretty bad
OpenSSL was running in 1-core mode, not sure but you could probably set it to more cores?
I am home my dudes
It's no secret that amds single threading capabilities are severely limited.
But until you get to i7s and xeons. You can typically get better performance for the same price (or less) by going with amd. Just the heat man.
However, for my HTPC, I am looking forwards to when AMD releases a new APU in 2017 which uses Zen+Polaris?
Might be a longer wait than that. The newest apus will still be excavator from what I understood. And I'm sure Microsoft will pay out the ass for exclusivity to the scropio apu.
Yeah I must admit that, price/performance was the reason gamers bought cheap AMDs
I think they'll have p11 chips though.
ok 2018?
