Are 6 cores worth getting? Or is 4 enough?

>>60865600
If you're not doing heavy parallel tasks then even 2 is enough. Otherwise, the more the better.

But will I regret getting 4 cores in 2 years if I could have bought 6?

>>60865726
Depends on what happens in the next 2 years. If tonnes of programs start using 6 cores, you will want 6 cores.

If you are mostly gaming, 4 cores are fine.

>>60865600
2 is enough for a laptop.

4 is enough for a desktop.

6 is enough for a SOHO server.

If you want it to overheat just by watching YouTube I guess

>>60865759
The solution is simple: don't buy Apple.

>>60865759
you're fucking stupid

>>60865600
6 core? What do you need 4 cores for?

>>60865759
I have a 2 core laptop with passive cooling and it doesn't heat up on Youtube.

>>60865759
Just install h264ify you dumb fuck.

>>60865726
With so many people getting 6 and 8 core Ryzen for very reasonable prices, I think you will regret it.

>>60865726
Yes

If you buy overpriced outdated hardware (intel cpu) in year 2017 you are fanboy or idiot.

4 core for just browsin and gaymin is perfect, but I'm still on an i5-2500k. That's a 2011 cpu, so my next cpu will be a 6 core coffee lake. Because I'm not upgrading my cpu for another 7 years.

How exactly is throttling down the CPU so you can keep the fan off/silent then turning it on when under load overheating?

Streaming 4k takes its toll on any computer.

>>60865600
Buy that 18 core CPU. You can never have too many cores.

what's that goy? 6 cores? who needs 4 cores?

>>60865759
Laptop will soon be quad cores, thank you based ayyymad

>>60865785
Single core is all you need.

>>60867027
Too bad intel stutters so it's bad for gayming

>>60867252
Half a core is the future goy! Innovation™!
