Your opinion is duly noted and filed to the void.

My bad, I guess I missed your suggested options for the OP.

See utilization. You're paying the same for just over half the performance by going with the 7600k over Ryzen. Whoops.

We don't have enough information and your post is terrible. I know you haven't actually used any parts that have come out in the last 5 years, but at least try to stay on top of correct recommendations.

2600K/2700K/3770K

And anyone saying i3-3225 is good-to-go for PoE lategame with any proper clearspeed char can go do their homework before opening their mouths again.

2500k/2600k fixed go do Ur hmk boy

if you can only get the sandy bridge 100mhz over the ivy bridge chip at 4+ghz the ivy should still win because of the 5% ipc advantage.
ofc ivy bridge is hotter though.. and id reckon sandy will oc better than 100mhz over an ivy bridge chip most of the time.

Ryzen is better suited to workstation tasks. Everyone knows this.





I don't have to "use" a part to understand benchmarks and reviews... (well, decent ones anyways). By your definition, no one could ever buy a decent CPU without owning one first. :/
If folks had to own everything to understand how it works, we'd still be in the dark ages.

You don't think the ryzen showing the same performance as the i5 in a game while using only 55% of its available resources as opposed to the i5 using 100% makes it a much better value?
Lots of streaming gaming workstations out there, I guess...

That extra 45% of headroom is going to be what makes it pull well ahead of the i5 in a few years, and you know it. Just don't recommend that junk to people, they're not good values or even good enough in general since Ryzen.

I don't think we have enough info on that screenshot of AIDA64 to actually be able to determine....anything.

If you're recommending an i5 (k or otherwise) for any reason other than "it's on sale for 50% off" then you're making a poor recommendation.
