What's a good, affordable desktop processor with 8 or more cores in the current year?
No (((Intel))) because it's botnet.
How can a processor be a botnet
It's just a processor
FX-8320E OC'ed to 5 GHz

Frogposters only parrot what other people say without knowing what they're talking about.

Search "Intel management engine"

To be fair intel is botnet, but so is the alternative.
>>62031809
Intel management engine, and amd trust zone/psp.

AMD has an even worse backdoor, so if you actually care then you wouldnt consider buying any modern CPU

No matter what you do, if they wanted to spy on you, they will find a way.
So stop being a paranoid fagot

OPs question is pretty dumb desu.
There's really not a lot of 8 core processors and he says no intel on top of that? Lol.
Reminder that backdoor and botnet are two different things
>>62031832
OP didn't ask for 8 half-cores.
intel is botnet but so as AMD with it's PSP technology.
On the other hand, Intel is just a shit company not only because of back door out of the box hardware but also because of their shady business practices.

I think bulldozer is still free of the PSP (which is basically the AMD equivalent of the Intel management engine)
