Be honest /g/. The FX CPU's have aged extremely well. >8

You're deluded.
They were mediocre when new

And if you bought a i7 2600 or even a i5 2500k if are still reasonably well off and still WAY BETTER OFF than any of the bulldozer/piledriver procs.

Ryzen is going to be the line that ages well. The FX meme has to die.

>>60937554
No it didn't. I have a FX-6300 @ 4.3 GHz, shit single thread performance, shit at emulation, shit at CPU-intensive games bottlenecking my fucking RX 480. Thank God I have a R7 1700 coming next week, cant come soon enough.

>>60937591
Yes they were. But now they're actually decent.

You're better off getting a G4560 in a new build, but most people I know with a 8350 don't feel like they need an upgrade much like I needed with my i5-2500k.
The average FPS in recent games for the 8350 isn't far behind the 4770k (stock clocks on each). Much better and smoother than the i5-2500k for new games though shitty averages on old games.

>>60937554
indeed, i have 8350, and it never felt like i need more powerful cpu

I still use my FX-8350. I'd buy another one after they're under $100

Everything runs nicely, video editing, encoding and rendering is all very snappy, I play Rainbow 6 Siege, Overwatch, Witcher, Hitman and Nier Automata at 60fps max no questions asked

Even Project Diva on rpcs3 is very playable

Are you implying it's more expensive because I have to run my AC in the background?

>>60938211
no, because it draws more power

Ryzen is not vishera or bulldozer or any of that garbage and it's extremely important to recognize this

Usually I hate israeli psyops but the shit they're doing in this case is too funny.

Int agencies should learn that it's best to ridicule your opponents and catch them doing dumb shit rather than putting black bags over their head and waterboarding them.

Fuck that, AMD has been in a shit limbo ever since they greenlit Bulldozer. I'm happy Zen is really good even on a process node designed for mobile.

You could at least be correct by saying it draws more power instead of citing tdp which doesn't mean more power.

>>60939195
doesnt it infer it at load though? Still it draws more power

>>60939201
tdp = head dissipation, not power draw. You can draw conclusions that higher tdp = higher power draw but tdp does not explicitly state higher power draw

You forgot to put rose colored amd goggles on, and you don't round up the fps to the nearest 60+fps.

You're a moron.

Their single threaded performance was absolutely trash when they came out, let alone now.

Yes - That's right - Just because demand for multithreaded performance has gone up doesn't mean that the demand for single threaded performance has decreased, you fucking idiots.

Multithreaded performance means shit if you don't have decent single core performance.

it wasnt trash, and it was the cheapest 8 core at the time, it also had niche situations where it was the better choice
>Yes - That's right - Just because demand for multithreaded performance has gone up doesn't mean that the demand for single threaded performance has decreased, you fucking idiots.
but it has, the two make a whole, as a percentage.

not at all. I upgraded from 8350 @ 4.5ghz + 7970 to 6700k @4.5ghz + GTX980 and the difference was night and day. BF3 fps went from 60fps to 150fps. AMD fucked up majorly with it, people trying to justify nowadays are just deluded. it failed.

It was cheap, and overclocked well which made it highly competitive if you did other things other than gaming. I don't regret it at all, and I've had it for 3 years now, and although it's tempting to upgrade I see no reason to do so. I am leaning more to buying a console for vidya at this point over upgrading.

>>60937554
They're way better than this Ryzen garbage

At least they are reasonably priced and in AMD's core market (poorfags)

AMD really fucked up with Ryzen

>>60939715

Yeah cheap was the only thing going for it. then they did a "refresh" with 9350s or w/e charged a premium for it and even that got smoked.

still going strong here with my fx 6300. unfortunately i cant overclock much because of shitty vrm's on my mobo. except for bf1 and a few other cpu intensive games, everything runs fine.(video editing, browsing, unpacking files, ect)

an upgrade would be cool but it isnt nessecairy. if the consoles can handle the games, so can my pc. i will upgrade in 2020 or so

>>60939715
Why 4.5ghz?
4.4ghz is the best spot.

Better benchmarks on 4.5GHz, anything over it shits itself, anything less and I'm using the same amount of voltage for less performance

I've been running FX-6300 for about 4 years now. Considering it cost me less than 100GBP it's been great value.

I want to move to a smaller case now and I'm afraid that trying to do that with the FX CPU will result in a housefire. Can G4570 or whatever the current meme Pentium is give me comparable performance?

Not sure what you're doing wrong here.

Westmere-EP came out almost 3 years before Piledriver and it's better in every single way except perhaps chipset quirkiness.

>>60939000
>An 8 core CPU or a 4 core CPU with SMT are both 8 threaded.
The difference is that hyperthreading and actual cores behave differently, particularly regarding cache sharing. Hyperthreading shines in very paralalized tasks with threads that share CPU cache, but they're not actual cores. With cores you can do the same parallelized tasks with as much efficiency but won't be penalized by non parallelized work as there is no sharing of cache in the same core like in hyperthreading.

Personnally, I think the hyperthreading trend is stupid and recommending processors with hyperthreading for gaming is sort of stupid compared to actual cores. 8c is way superior to 4c/8t and for example a ryzen 1800 with HT disabled will perform way better than a 4c/8t 1500 (or a 1800 with 4 deactivated cores and HT enabled).

I'm glad AMD added more cores to their mid and high range CPU, it's a better way to do than pushing hyperthreading for things like gaming. I know game programming made a lot of progress for paralellization and taking advantage of HT, but it is sort of a workaround to adapt to CPU architecture.
I don't say HT is particularly bad, it has its uses in workstations, but if you play games on PC and had to chose between a 7700k and the price equivalent in AMD (like ryzen 1700), you're better taking the CPU with more cores rather than being duped by the impression that HT is just like more cores.
