i5 2500K. Get it to 4 Ghz and you can expect Ryzen 5 1600 performance

Oh vey
Any ryzen which is under 200$ will be best.
2500k can suck my dick.
This shit is like 8 years old

>>62465148

Might be but it still outperforms mid level AMD processors. Just before Ryzen AMD didn't have ANY processor that could beat an OC'd 2500K.

2500k, unless you need VT-d or the latest instruction sets, which I very much doubt 99% of the people here would benefit from. So get one.

the r e f u r b i s h e d sector deals with complete systems.

I suggest you to lurk into the r e f u r b i s h e d sector mate la

Check teksyndicate's 8350 vs 3770k vs 3820 on jewtube.
/g/ is a bottomless pit of idiocy and ignorance.

Yeah it can decompress a rar file faster but in any real life application the 8350 gets BTFO in some cases even by an i3. It was woeful.

>gaems are real life applications now
the state of /g/ circa 2017

The question says right now not last year

Answer remains the same.

Performance in what, exactly? R51600 at 3.6GHz approaches a fucking xeon x5650.

The 2500k is no slouch but come the fuck on, be reasonable.

>>62467811
that's two xeons (the X5650 is a 6c/12t cpu), but to be fair this thing is from the first intel core gen and it was made in fucking 65nm

>>62468188
And the 2500k gets like 700cb at 5ghz

>>62465067
>>62465088
or, you know, you can get a r5 1600.

>>62465067
See if you can get a deal on Ryzen 5 1600. Even if you can't, going to ~$210 to get it still pays off, I'd say it's a no brainer.

It's the combination of getting 6 cores + it has relativelly low clock, so you save money and get the performance up by OCing to 3.8-3.9 GHz (depending on how far it can be pushed resonably).

FFS not 2500K. i7-2600K might make sense if cheap, but 2500K is just too limited in addition to being old. Those things have often been strongly-OCed since 2011, so they might be degraded when you buy them.

No dude, "first Core" was 32bit mobile only trash.
These 6C/12T have to be 32nm Westmeres (Nehalem die-shrink). 4 generations later, early 2010 IIRC.

>4 low IPC cores vs 6 high ipc cores
intelfags everyone

>>62465088
why would you want to be stuck on a dead socket?

i want to build a dogshit cheapaf athlon x4 880k or something, i think that would be a fun time

>>62471459
Isn't every Intel socket a dead socket these days?
We're kinda past the LGA775 glory days ;_;
