what the fuck does this mean?

>>61886570
While there are more processes than cores you can always justify adding more cores

If you cant answer this yourself. You shouldnt start a thread about it but go to /sqt/

The financial industry has supercomputers that are much better than Ryzens for mining buttcoins

Large SQL database for said web server and VMs

Multithreaded programming like haskell allows you to do.

Compiling.

I personally don't need it, thus my 5820k stays until games use more then 4 cores

>>61886570
3 legitimate uses
>increased virtual machine output (IE more virtual machines and can dedicate more than one core to a virtual machine)
>increased computation speeds and can spend time browsing without worrying of decreased performance (ie dedicate 14 cores to computation and use 2 cores for browsing)
>better future proofing, won't be the limiting factor even if you wait 10 years and upgrade everything except CPU
The last one is true for any good CPUs, so kinda cheesing it

how do you deal with trim? you just don't use it or the info leak is not a problem for you?

im on a 4770k at 4.6, for gaming i don't really see a point in upgrading for a couple more years

im waiting to see if intel drops prices on it's xeon gear per 10-pro-ws endorsement... might be an interesting upgrade this time around... finally

Bitch, I (at work) rent a cluster to do CFD computations.
128 cores each for each computation.
