I like Intel I3 processors.

>cheap
>low heat output
>4 threads
>can be upgraded to an i7 cheap after 3-4 years

I'm not even a poorfag, I just appreciate good value.

Less stronger cores are usually better than more weaker cores though

>>56595142
i7 6700k takes the cake for single thread vs monies, and it can really do _anything_ you'd need it to

>>56595165
they have a low speed compared to the 5 or 7

>>56595192
what about single thread not vs monies?
what would you suggest?
i need more power.

It all dpeends on what kind of software you are running. On most use cases 2 cores is good enough, anything above 4 is completely useless and single-thread performance is the most important thing.

>>56595262
Fastest i3 is the i3-6320 I think @ 3.9 Jigahertz.

You can squeeze a little more with BCLK.

Oh wow such low speeds.
Kill yourself you fucking idiot.

>>56595284
arma 3
>inb4 kill yourself
i've heard it relies on single thread power.

>>56595295
that actually seems like quite a good one for the price, thanks for the rec.

>>56595297
okay.

>>56595309
>>56595319
yea that's the cpu i'd really like to get but its a bit expensive for me. i was hoping to find something that comes close without being almost $400.

>>56595382
I used to have an i5-4460 , that ran Arma 3 pretty well

>>56595382
Get an fx8350 brah, really good multicore performance really cheap

>>56595428
whats does the rest of your build look like?

and what does pretty well look like to you?

>>56595444
i'm actually looking for better single thread performance instead of multi core as arma isn't really optimized well. thanks though,

g3258

>>56595517
This, or AMD fx.

i7-860

>>56595512
IT was an old build, it was a i5-4460,970 gpu. 32gb ram.
Ran the game off a hdd not my ssd. It ran solid between 35-45 fps on multiplayer, the single player managed 60 fps.
Swapped out the cpu and gpu for the 4790k and a 1080.

The old rig I had pretty much the settings turned right up.

>>56595543
Arma 3 MP is slow for everyone, since it relies a lot on the server perf.
ie. KOTH is pretty much ~40 fps regardless of rig.

>>56595517
that one seems really good for the money but 3.2ghz seems kinds low, i3-4370 is a bit faster at 3.8 but i'm not sure if the 4 threads would hurt it rather than help it.

>>56595535
amd fx which?

>>56595543
sounds pretty sweet, i might get that because its pretty cheap, but do you think the i3-4370 would get better performance? it rates higher on the single core power chart on cpubenchmark.net

also how does your old card preform on newer games like battlefield 4 and such?

>>56595620
Fx4350 overclocked to 5.2ghz

>>56595620
you can overclock the g3258 to 4.2ghz~ on the stock cooler.. and even higher with a nice cooler ($25-35) and a decent motherboard.

>>56595644
absolutely not.

>>56595661
5.2ghz quad cor is better than 4ghz duel core u idiot

>>56595670
well memed

>>56595620
Im not sure vs the 4370, but it was a great cpu. Handled all games with no problems.
I literally swapped as I had some money and upgraded it and the gpu.
I actually sold the i5 for £15 less than what it originally cost me and Id used it for nearly 20 months daily!

AMD has a more efficient architecture compared to Intel thanks to CMT.

>>56595670
arma 3 cant use 4 cores properly

>>56595661
oh sweet but do you think 2 threads is better for what i want vs 4 threads?

both CPUs i'm looking at are dual core but the i3 has 4 threads and the one you suggested has 2.

>>56595517
this

if all you're doing is single-thread stuff then the G3258 at 4GHz+ is unbeatable for the price.
core for core it beats the 6950x

>>56595709
>under embargo
wat

>>56595704
sorry i ddint mean the 4370 i meant the i3-6320

i'm really not sure what to buy
the one you suggested seems great but the 6320 seems like the best for arma 3 but i'm not sure how it can handle other games.

>>56595714
arma3 only really uses two cores, no need for four threads.

Get a 5960x and overlcock it to 4.5Ghz, while pairing it with 3200mhz DDR4. Then you have great single threaded AND great multithreaded performance. Pic related, it's my richfag build.

>>56595714
Background tasks in the OS WILL SLOW YOUR 2 CORES DOWN YOU IDIOT.
Get the fx4350 and overclock it

>>56595826
no richfag would have a case with odd bays

>>56595838
the 4350 doesn't even have four actual physical cores like an i5 does

it's two modules that share a fpu for each "core"

it's essentially an i3, but with way worse single core performance. way, way worse.

>>56595870
It's a quad core with 2 FPUs you idiot. Arma 3 relies on integer processing where AMD is superior than your shit dual core

if you think that's a full blown core you're a goddamn retard lmao

>>56595906
Define a CPU core.

>>56595838
>>56595847
>>56595870
okay so
i3-6320
fx4350
or g3258

>>56595142
i7 3770 for $200, then overclock it 4.3ghz with a Z motherboard (almost 4.5 if you mess with base clocks). Best bang for the buck because intel didn't start nerfing non-k cpu until haswell and up.

>>56596121
>tfw got an e5-1650 v2 for 160$ with shipping clocked at 4.4ghz.

Stock voltages even, feels good man.

>>56595382
I play arma 3 on i5 6500 absolutley fine. MP is perfectly playable too

>>56595382
>i've heard it relies on single thread power.
It does.

>>56595142
>single thread performance

It's 2016, parallelize your programs already.

>>56595142
get a mobo that has the highest bus speed you autistic fuck.
>falling for 80's hurr durr so mny cores u guys and look at all these ghz!!!11 hype

it doesn't matter if you have a fucking i7 if it only has pcie 2.0 slots.
get a mobo that can take ddr-4 3400
then get a cpu that has that bus speed, it will be infinately faster than an older machine with slower bus but higher ghz/cores
