when did you get here from /v/?
we've known about this shit for months and have threads about it like once a week or so, AMD also loads the same shit into their chips as well

>>55136801
Are you retarded? Intel doesn't earn any money on used processor. Go back to /pol/ you mentally retarded fuckface.

Intel iGPUs are pure trash, especially on the low end. If he's not buying a discrete GPU, that's a bad idea.

it's good for the price

>$199
wow

So for the same price I should go for Athlon 5350 over an A4-7300?

>>55137050
Or you could spend $5 more on an a8 7600

Gaming will always benefit more from single-threaded performance, but cpu's are also rarely the bottleneck.

>5$
more like 35. not saying the a8 is not the smarter choice but when your budget pushes you to consider a 5350, adding 35 on top might not be so easy.

>>55136676
well made multithreaded games are rare, a faster dual core should serve you better for general gaming.

but civ should work better on a quad than a dual core.

even intel jumps in the 4 threads by adding ht to dual cores even when it hurts them to do so (at least that was the case a bit back when disabling ht on cpus improved performance even on threaded workloads; cant comment on current ht tho' but i suspect its the same, ht helps general computing but hurts gaming)

>>55137596
If he can afford the 5350 with a dgpu, then the a8 is better with the igpu.

>>55137050

>>55136676
the dual core will serve you better in general gaming, well optimized games like civ tho can handle quad cores.

get the dualy.

>>55137604
depends on the dgpu

if it's below r7 250, yes, if it's better than that, no

>>55137596
I'm currently thinking about a 6100 poorfag build. Would I still be able to run Firefox to look up guides or watch som videos in the background during the loading screens or could it crash?

>>55136823
>we've known about this shit for months and have threads about it like once a week or so

Dude, the thing is more than 5 years old. At least inform yourself before bragging.

>>55136735
shut up, i am using an am1 and its fine, i can play the new tomb raider at 50 fps on medium

>>55137917
no, you seem to have the impression real cpu threads are a limit. no.

at any given time a windows pc runs 500+ threads and a single core/single thread cpu has no issue with that, the threads will switch based on priority demand, etc.

6100 is a good cpu, intel nailed it this gen with the i3's

>>55137650
No.

He'll be held back so hard by the cpu. A6 7400k or g3258 would be better if he doesn't need 4 cores and wants to Max cpu performance on a super tight budget.

7650k would be much better though, with the igpu. How difficult to save up $30 more?

>>55138420
>How difficult to save up $30 more?

depends, 30$ for someone who makes 3000$ a year is not 30$ for someone who makes 60000$

>how difficult to save up 576$ more?

at low end, depending on resolution, the gpu will bottleneck you more than the cpu unless you play tom's style at 800x600.
strictly speaking the best thing to do at that price range is to get used c2q q9xx or 771 e5xx xeons.

also the 250 is the breakpoint because the igp on a 18 is almost a 250. heck, I think amd recommended a 240 for hybrid xfire at first (probably to stress the igp less).
so rather than get a weak gpu, get the apu.
if the gpu is stronger, get the the weak cpu; the gpu will drag it up to a point.
evidently if you go into the high midrange, it will really show the bottleneck and a better cpu is advised.

just look at >>55137050 an immensely more powerful cpu cant get double fps over a 5350 because the gpu wont let it.

>>55136676
Some games straight up REFUSE to run on dual-core systems these days. Get the quad.

>>55136676
Dual core, most games aren't optimized for more than 2.

>>55136676
Then get a dual core g3258. Garbage ports like gta5 might crash on non quad cores but most games are single thread heavy.

Coupled it with a gtx 950 for a friend. He gets 340+ fps in league. 400 dollar pc.

>>55139390

No you can't, poorfag.

>>55140221
Terrible fucking advice from a clueless retard. GTA V is a great PC port. The fact that you'd imply that a port is bad for using multi-threading well shows what a fucking retard you are, although recommending the G3258 in 2016 did that already. Almost everything that's been released in the past couple of years outright requires four threads. Some won't even launch with less, whilst the rest run like shit.

>muh 300fps in league
Fucking kill yourself.

>>55140771
good for the price fucker, not good

find a better pick inside 40$ that isnt an used xeon/c2d/q

>>55136676
wait for AM4

Would a 6100 bottleneck a 480?

Use a FX 8350

>>55142405
depends how well threaded the software is. if its something that really uses 4 threads, it will but most just have a heavy main thread and some others that do little work.
