Yes. Stop being poor.

pajeet pls

>>58158389
What does h265 have to do with poo in loos?

The Phenom II was never top of the line, and the 555 is only a dual-core.
You bought a dual for $80-100 when quads were $150. That savings probably doesn't look so good right now.
See if your motherboard supports unlocking. You may be able to unlock it to a triple or quad. It's probably not going to be worth it to upgrade. (X4's go for $50 used but you can find i5 2500k + mobo + RAM for $150)

Phenom II X4 940 user here. No problems. Can play h.265 1080p on a Tegra K1 in software. You're just an idiot.

>>58158445
Shame more poverty builds don't go with used 2500k. The i3 6100 felt so resrricting when I used one.

>>58158309
those 1080p 60fps videos on Youtube are very CPU demanding something seems wrong with hardware decoding on my station

I don't have this problem with normal 1080p videos

>>58158549
Youtube doesn't use H.265, and 1080p60 H.264 isn't supported by most hardware decoders.

>>58158449
555 is a dual core, and slower.

>>58158612
youtube uses vp9 which is basically the same thing as h265

What makes h265 so damn demanding anyway?

wtf OP you can unlock that cpu to quadcore. i'm 1000% sure it won't lag anymore after unlock it to 4 core.

>top of the line <ever>

hahahahhahahahhahahahaaaa

>>58160574
But then it'd overheat which makes the fan too noisy, it's in a HTPC so that won't do.

>>58158486
The i3 unironically out performs 2500k in some benchmarks.

>>58158309
former x2 555 owner here. don't unlock the cores like
>>58160574
>>58158445
said. surely it will be a performance boost but the two other cores are really unstable which is the reason they were locked in the first place. spent 4 years with unlocked b55 by overclocking 1 and 2 core to 3.6GHZ and underclocking remaining cores to 2.8 GHZ. But shit still crashed as soon sa temps reached over 65degC.
tl;dr Buy a used 965. its like 5-10usd at best or better wait for zen.

>>58158806
VP9 is substantially easier to decode than h265

>>58161104
>the two other cores are really unstable which is the reason they were locked in the first place
fuckoff liar
they locked a vast majority of the cores just to cater towards poorfags trying to buy cheaper hardware. simply trying to fill a niche that core 2 duos were selling at bcus intel requires a competitor.
the chips that were unstable were the x3 varient, at which point you're an idiot for buying a cpu that's unstable.
would never trust a cpu that needs to be gimped for stability. lowering clocks is one thing, but cutting off an entire processor?
untrustworthy.

>>58158309
It's funny because my turionx2 rm77 handles h.265 content just fine in Linux.

CPU usage goes up to the 90s, but it still werks.

>>58158309
>buying AMD poocessors
found your problem OP

>dual core with shit IPC
how is that shit high end.

Get a used 2500k or 2600k if you want a cheap good upgrade

>>58161903
Or he could get a phenom x6/fx processor and save money on a motherboard?

my cpu load reaches up to 60% with chrome/chromium playing 1080p60 on youtube

with mpv and youtube-dl my cpu is only on 20% - 30%

this is mpv output btw

>>58158309
My chinkshit phone can play 1080p h265 nigga, and so can my PC with a phenom II X4 and a 7950.

You're doing something wrong brah.

On another note HEVC is the motherfucking shit, how in the fuck isn't everybody encoding everything using it?
