The modern i5 2500k

>>714870828 (OP)
nah, that's 12400f

>>714870916
lol even
>>714870828 (OP)
thinking about getting 5600t. for some reason it's 10 euros cheaper in my country than just 5600 and apparently they are nearly the same
anyone got any info on 5600t?

>>714870916
come on now anon. I've got that CPU but it's easily outclassed now especially by AMD's offerings. The 2500k was only so legendary because AMD was shit at the time and intel stagnated+++++

>>714870828 (OP)
not without the 3d cache it isn't

>>714870828 (OP)
Bump

I have a 3700X is that good

>>714870916
I've got a 12400 for my home server/"home lab" (gay term)
It's overpowered and great for that, but amd has faaaaar better offerings around the same price range for gaming

>>714875605
No. The 5600 is the first really good Ryzon cpu because that was when AMD actually beat Intel in single-core performance. The cope up to that point,including with your 3000series chip, was that it was a good value(cheaper) and won in multi-core workloads, but gaming is still largely all about single-core performance.

>>714870828 (OP)
What's a good modo combo for Ryzen 5 5600, is the 5600x worth it?

>>714875605
Entirely depends what resolution and framerate you play at. Don't listen to that other guy saying it's not good just because there exists better ones. It's great for 1080p still

>>714876231
If you use your pc for gaming and not for work like video rendering, get the x3D version if any cpu, it's vastly better for gaming and the whole reason why amd is the go to cpu for gaming now

>>714870828 (OP)
Can't you still more or less get by off of a higher end i5 now days? Moores law is dead.

>>714875605
get a 5600 for a cheap upgrade or the 5700x3d

>>714876749
it all depends on what you do.
unreal engine 5 going forward wants 8 cores because of all their background jobs.
if all you play is old shit you dont need 8 cores.

>>714870828 (OP)
3600 here, still going quite well. would be cool with an upgrade but shit's expensive.
funny that i upgraded from my 2500k to this, had it for almost 10 years

For me? The ryzen 3 4100

>>714877121
That cpu is for pedos

>>714877786
hehehe

>>714870828 (OP)
>i5 2500k
Miss that little nigga like you wouldn't believe.
Cranked that thing to 4.4 GHz and it hit over 90C trying to run Kingdom Come; that's when I knew I needed to upgrade.

NEVER. OBSOLETE.

>>714870828 (OP)
zen3 doesnt even support avx512 if anything it would be a 7600 or 800.

should I upgrade

are amd cpu still poo for emulating? last time i checked the switch emulators came around you needed the beefiest intel xx900k to bruteforce emulation because per core performance was critical

>>714879924
What is life like in 2020?

>locked cpu is the modern day equivalent of an unlocked cpu

holy retard

>>714880101
it sucked because every normgroids got online and ruined every online spaces at the same time

>>714879776
I personally don't care for modern goyslop but it must be shit for ps3/360/switch/ps4 emulation so I couldn't survive with junk like that in 2025

why do oldfags/poorfags deepthroat the i5-2500k when it's almost completely unusable nowadays
even the i7-860 is more usable than it SOLELY because of those 8 threads, to say nothing of the sandy bridge i7s, the REAL goats of their time
they also aged better than the absolute trash that were FX cpus

>>714879924
5600X is when AMD got good at single core performance, it's the first Ryzen series that actually got competitive for real

>>714880183
5600 is unlocked like most ryzen cpus

>>714870828 (OP)
this is the new 2500k. budget monster. i'm glad i managed to get one before they became mainstream. actual powerhouse cpu with those zen 4 cores.

>>714880398
it can run dark souls 3 at the very least, and drawing software. Just hook up your ps3 and play it on the real hardware?

5600X has only 6c12t but still plays games with minimum 8c16t recommendations

Why is that? Doom The Dark Ages ran 60fps for me despite the 8 core minimum specs

>>714880689
i've never owned a console and never will.

>>714880797
the dark ages runs even on a quad core. system requirements don't mean much these days. it's just the lowest hardware that they tested the game on.

>>714880797
because the overall performance is what matters not the number of cores.

>>714871407
It's one of those half a dozen 5600 variants that AMD has pumped out due to amassing skews that didn't meet the specs for existing labels. 5600T looks like 5600X that didn't quite meet the mark, so it should be marginally better than regular 5600.

my first ever cpu was a 4690k which i overclocked to 4.3ghz and i thought i had one of the best gaming systems money could buy but within a year or two i couldn't max games out anymore because 4 cores 4 threads was becoming fast outdated. i ended up buying a cheap ebay xeon which was equivalent to an i7 4770 and it only had a 3.6ghz max clockspeed but games ran way better with those extra threads. and then dx12 games started coming out and it made that xeon age like damn finewine because of dx12 multithreading support. i still miss it. champ of a processor.

The new 2500K was the 3600. Not the 5600X, not the 7500F, not the 12400F
everyone and their dog had a fucking 3600. this is the most reviewed chip on pcpartpicker by a mile, it was recommended everywhere, it was featured in every budget to midrange build. Even higher end gaming builds often used it because Intel had threadlets CPUs outside of the 9900K and the 3700X / 3900X hardly performed any better than the 3600 in games at the time
It didn't quite have the same overclocking potential as the 2500K but later 3600s could often OC well enough to push past early 3600Xs for what little that's worth, and memory overclocking could actually be useful on Zen 2 as the IF wasn't complete garbage

>>714882125
It was a good CPU too, still usable.
Nowadays fags who missed out can still get it in the Ryzen 5 4500, which is a CPU that was shit on by litereally everyone but is still very much usable and good value once its price dropped.

>>714875605
Pre-5000 series used (up to) four core CCXes that combined formed a CCD (of up to 8 cores).
Compared to a 5000 series processor, this can result in worse performance depending on thread count of a given application.
Chances are at worst you just need a bios update to drop in a 5000 series upgrade, if you really care enough. If it's still working for you, just keep waiting for AM6.

>>714876231
I bought an Asrock B550M Pro4 for a 5600 to revive an old pc. It doesn't have any wifi or bluetooth but I figure I can just get one of those $20 m.2 wifi modules for it.

>>714882125
its still a solid cpu. was using one in another rig that was actually doing a ton of productivity work as well as gaming up until about 6mo ago. was actually on that system again this last 2 weeks while my other much newer rig was down for maintenance due to a psu failure. Its not the fastest horse in the race by any means but games are still perfectly playable and productivity tasks are fine, they just take longer. honestly this little chip is gonna be fine as a secondary/backup pc for years to come. i kept my 2500k in daily service until 2023.

>>714880627
Based, i bought mine for less than. 100USD on AliExpress and it rocks

>>714870828 (OP)
No, that's the 5800x3d.

>>714886560
Oh for sure. Zen 2's definitely starting to age and Zen 3 is holding up a fair bit better, but it's still perfectly usable. I upgraded to a 5700X a couple years ago because it was gifted to me, but if not I'd probably still be rocking the 3600
mine OC'd pretty well too, 4.35ghz CCX1 and 4.25 CCX2 with a lower than stock voltage, could've probably pushed a fair bit higher if I'd actually overvolted

I don't understand "missing" or lamenting the retirement of a cpu or gpu. I am very into computers and tech, and i love getting a new piece of hardware and seeing what it can do and whatever improvements it has, i also appreciate when it can hold up for many years. But it's still just a cpu and as soon as it gets outdated i am happy to get rid of it and upgrade

>>714890729
Good for you, I'm still stuck with the i5-2500 and dunno what to upgrade too, there's too many options.

>>714890973
I assume poorfag, you can easily upgrade to the i7-2600 for like 20 bucks. It won't be that much of an improvement but stutters will reduce, and 8 threads is minimum for 2025 barring the rare 6c/6t like the i5-8400 (still very much usable btw)
Otherwise you can buy cheap am4 boards still brand new and get something like the ryzen 5 5500. It will be a massive upgrade.

>>714891686
Not a poorfag, just deliberating on whether or not its even worth it since I'll need to buy a new motherboard, RAM, power supply etc when I don't even intend on playing the latest triple A slop.

I still have a 2700X, haven't had any issues
I'll upgrade when I need to

>>714870916
Last good Intel CPU before the estrogen cores shit happened

>>714870828 (OP)
5700x3d is cheap as fuck, literally no excuse

>>714892738
If you buy used, you can get all of that (except power supply. never get that used if you can) very cheaply. Ebay and using your brain with the pictures, seller history, etc is your friend.
You can probably find local deals too elsewhere. If you must buy new, AM4 is still the best value and DDR4 RAM has gotten quite cheap. Good new powersupplies can be found on Amazon for about 70 bucks or so.
>don't plan on playing AAA slop
Then don't upgrade at all. If you have to CONSOOM something to feel better then spend 20 bucks on that used i7-2600 to improve stutters and that's all you'll need. Once you have a clear cut upgrade path to what you want, you can sell your old pc to make what you want a little less costly.

I can get 5800XT for 130$, is that a good deal or just wait for AM6? I have ryzen 3600 and 1660 Ti and honestly I just wanna play Cyberpunk, Expeditions and FF7 Rebirth. Also Total War Warhammer 3. I was thinking of 5800XT and maybe getting a used gpu for 300$ or 9060 XT. I have a goldrated 650 psu so it should be good with a midlevel gpu.

They call it "The Mumbai 5090"

>>714870828 (OP)
the X3D version, yes

>>714876528
X3d CPU aren't bad for video editing, and you can use your gpu to make it better
1 hour video takes me less than 10 minutes to render at 1080p60fps

>>714870828 (OP)
True

>>714893313
That's a good price for that CPU, but even what you currently have is good enough for those games. Not sure about that warhammer 3 though.

>>714870828 (OP)
oh I thought it was the 3600 :(
