Yeah? Of course it is?

pfft right gramps it can't even run no mans sky

Yes?

You want CPUs to go the way of GPUs and be obsolete after a couple of years?

it can

Running mine at the moment at 4.5Ghz, it just werks.

So is my Q6600 if i'm being honest.

Pair it with an SSD and decent GPU and the shit is fine.

A Q6600 will cripple any decent GPU in just about any modern game that isn't indie trash.

still newer than what im running

I moved from a E6700 to a i6-6700k

I considered getting a Q6600 a friend has it.

Once I got a 6700k thats the moment I realized I've been kidding myself all these years.

The Q6600 was dead once the i5-2500 released. I should have gotten a i5-2500 YEARS ago.

But no ALL I NEED IS Core 2 Duo E6700 IT JUST WERKS.

How so? It's single core performance it's only about 20-30% below the 2500k.

and obviously no one is running a Q6600 at stock clocks. Mine is at 3.7GHz.

Sure it will be CPU bound in some games, but plenty of games still aren't all that CPU heavy and will rely primarily on the GPU.

I get 60FPS in everything I play at 1080p with a GTX 960.

athlon x2 250 here, pls adopt me rich westernes >

>using a q6600
>not modding your motherboard and using a xeon x5460

I'm still using an i7-920

Will probably upgrade to a Xeon soon to squeeze the life out of my X58 build

Really even Witcher 3, GTA 5, New Tomb Raider and Doom?

he;s obviously playing them on medium-low

It's worse than AMD CPUs

cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2721&cmp[]=1038

>What is turning down some graphics settings
All of those are very scaleable. It's not hard to get 1080p/60fps on Medium with a 960 lmao.

Of those I only have GTA 5 and it plays at 45-60.

>stock clocks
retard

How do I into 5Ghz?

Stop being underage and get a job. Used i3 or i5 is completely affordable even in eastern yurop.

Ugly? Worse then Consoles?

but you can get a q9400 for like 15 dollars

>get a job
>eastern yurop.
>Used i3 or i5 is completely affordable

if you only knew how bad things really are....

Speaking of Eastern Europe no it's not.

Our optimal price for a PC is one minimum wage.

Around 400€

And 400€ never buys you an i3 and a good GPU.

You always need to go up to 600€ or 700€ to get a decent GPU CPU combo t hat won't be shit in 2 years time.

My friend got a job exactly to get a PC a part time one.

Worked for 2 months got a 400€ PC.

He was dumb got a Dual Core Pentium because every site out there was recommending it great performance. Now he can't play half the new games because they have a quad core minimum or and the patches suck dick.

what the fuck do you think life is like in the US?

If you can afford to spend 400 euros in 2 months on a PC, work for 2 more months and get an 800 Euro PC instead...

I worked for 6-8 months before saving up enough to buy my last PC.

>people actually still believe the technology magically improves little by little every year shit marketers shove down your throats so that they can convince you to buy gimmicky useless shit that isn't a real upgrade every year

A Xeon won't offer you much.

Eastern Europe is pain.
After moving to the west I have 7 times my old EE salary in disposable money for food/tech.
Yes, food is cheaper there but tech is not. In rich countries you keep much more in the gap between what you get and what you spend just for staying alive.

What I think it's like?

Let's see food cost the same as here.
You earn 2~5 times as much.

This was a guy that lived with his parents doing a part time student job.

If it was him having to rent an apartment he'd have 50€ leftover each month. And if he didn't go out at all and didn't do anything social then yes in 1 year he'd have for a PC.

I can write you 4 full post about how poor we are and how shit it is.

But I'll tell you this. You earn more and have the cheapest hardware in the world and the best second hand in he world.

I have a 400€ wage Apartments cost 150€ Food costs 100€ Utilities 50~100€ depending on season.

At best 20~50€ savings each month.

You people can earn in a day more then we earn in a week.

And an i5-2500k USED costs 134.11 Euro

How do I think it is in America? Your poor class is wealthier then our middle class.

I still use a Phenom II X4 955, still reliable. But lately some games been requiring SSE 4.1 and won't work on it.

>life in US
>parts are cheaper, usually by 20%
>it's 5$/hour even in shit states, while even being 10$/hour in the better states
>that becomes 40$ a day minimum wage
>you get at least 800 dollarydoos a month while minimum wage in EE is between 300-400€
Oh sure, your life in US is exactly the same
Fuck, if I could live in my parents basement and leech off them, I could build a really fucking powerful PC in 2 fucking months of burger flipping

...

I make $1,600/month
$900 goes to rent I live in a cheap area for around here, most places are over $1k/month
Food is around $200 a month
Internet is $100 a month
$100 for cell bill
$100 for health insurance

The rest goes into savings. Usually $200-300 a month.

Of that, no more than half goes towards my computer fund.

So maybe $75-150 a month I save towards my computer.


The cost of living in the US is much higher.

>Can't do VT-d

>Falling for the GPU passthrough meme
Good goy :^)

What's the meme, I lose only like 3% performance.

Ok, friendo, whatever you say!

>200-300$ of savings each month
>only 75-150 go towards computer
>only

Your only is more than we could possibly save a month and that goes for everything, you can put away like 50 euros for computer every 2 months
If the prices for parts at least wouldn't be so shit when compared to US, I wouldn't even complain, I understand the concept of the cost of living, what I don't understand is why do we get shafted on the prices

So you're saving 3 times as much and your hardware costs about 25% less since my VAT is 25% but it actually costs more.

Cheapest i7-6700k - 416$ in my country via nabava.net
Cheapest i7-6700k - 324$ in the US via PCpartspicker.

So it's 33% more expensive and I have 55$ and you 150$ towards you PC.

Impressive tell me how it's hard in Easern Europe.

would upgrading a i5 4460 haslel to a skylake i7 or even kaby lake be a worthwile upgrade?
Kinda want that hyperthread meme for music production and rendering

>Kinda want that hyperthread meme for music production and rendering

Yes it would.

But if you're going to meme with that go for a 6800K not a 6700k

ok. what about day2day use tho?

Move to the west, bros.
People are helpful and don't look like they could commit suicide at any moment. You can walk through a pedestrian crossing with closed eyes because people are not in a rush all the time and they're more relaxed.
I can spend €2500/month on anything I want.

>what I don't understand is why do we get shafted on the prices
Because shipping costs of a fuck ton and your country is so shitty and small they are only sending a small # of products total to that country, the cost is passed on to you, but since there are so few you end up paying far more.

The US market is a guaranteed thing with long established channels and easy quick methods of import. All your shitty little eastern european countries can't possibly compete, so you get shafted paying the import fees, taxes, etc, that most US buyers ignore because newegg/amazon/whoever can bring in such large numbers of stock cheaply that the cost gets spread out over a lot more people.

What do you mean?

And how would I do that? What could I offer to the west so they'd employ me in a decent job? My basics of C and Java and Python and PHP?

Anyone with brain can learn that in 2 months...

Our prices are the same or higher then German prices so explain to my why does German have 25% more expensive hardware then US? VAT is only 19% in Germany on hardware...

>explain to my why does German have 25% more expensive hardware then US?
Who won WWII?

would you notice a difference going from a i5 haswell to a kabylake i7 in day to day tasks like browsing/csgo/ or shit like that?

>mfw I see people trying their hardest to convince themselves they NEED to buy something
It's funi, and kind of sad to see this sort of consumer addiction.

As a rule of thumb, if you have to ask 'do I need this', you don't need it.
No, you wont see fucking any significant difference with anything that isn't a benchmark.

Ithink you meant relevant, OP

Not likely..

My mom has a broadwell i5 on her laptop with an SSD.

I have a i7 6700k with an SSD.

Before she got an SSD in her laptop I felt a huge difference. Since she got it I can't say I feel any difference...

So I very much doubt it.

>implying anyone is running a modern cpu at stock clocks
Most i5/i7 you'll see are clocked at 4 to 4.4ghz, from a base of 2.8-3.3ghz.

buying nice things is fun. I built my own mATX silent pc and it feels damn good to be able to choose individual quality components.
I'm just asking cause I might give my dad the old components and get the successor of kaby lake eventually. Seems like I'll skip kaby lake tho since it's jsut incremental gpu updates

Sorry we're not europoor like you. Whine about it.

TOP KEK

He probably eats out a lot doesn't cook.

A shitload of normies waste tons of money on food.

I get by on like 100$ or so...

They eat like 500$ because I have to take that girl to a nice restaurant..

How long will I be able to use my 4790k, realistically? It's not overclocked ATM, running @ 4GHz.

Only consoles can run No Man's Sky

10+ years

5 years or more

I'm still using a conroe core 2 duo, and they are 10 years old by now

gearbest.com/cpu-c_11969/

also, 100 for cell and 100 for internet, what hte fuck

See:

wtf it's almost impossible to make teh cpu non-working, i have plenty of examples of running pentium-i/486/386 systems, they're breaking only because of failing hdd/capacitors

135lbs

>not having 150/150mbps internet

>135lbs
Either you shop at Whole Foods or some yuppie joint or you're lying, because you're eating the same amount in food my entire family did with 4 people.

My CPU has VT-d, but no iGPU so i'd need a 2nd dGPU.

$200 is including eating out once or twice a month. If it wasn't it'd be ~$125

Also whole foods is the closest grocery store to me (walking distance). But I don't always shop there.

If the Q6600 is anything to go by 8 years until you actually feel the need to upgrade.

But for non gaming usage it could last more then 12 years...

Are you for real paying 100$ for 150Mbit...

Well I guess Easern Europe isn't so bad I get 1 Gbit for 20€

>i'd need a 2nd dGPU.
It doesn't need to be good. So you can probably find a used one quite easily, or just buy a new low-profile card for $99 or less.

Yup, and that's not even a bad price for the speed.

500/500mbps would be $300/month.

Today I visited Lidl they had a sale 0.5kg of chicken legs for 1€

I got 5 Kg of chicken legs for 10€ thats goin to last me a month.

This guy goes and buys some fucking lattle in starbucks for 10$

>reliable

Yeah, only if you change the oil and gaskets regularly.

Dude's spending way too much money. And people wonder why they can't live on minimum wage.

Do it. Upgraded from a i7-950 to a X5675. OCed it to 4.4GHz with all C states and shit and it's stable.

Yeah my 1000 Cinebench score would like to have a word with you.
Don't talk out of your ass, the X58 Xeons are absolutely smashing everything and cost

I upgrade it to a 2600k

Kek because I shop at whole foods I suddenly enjoy starbucks too?

I hate coffee, but shows how much you know about me.


Because I don't want to eat rice and chicken every day all month I'm stupid?

I could spend $25 a month on food if I felt like it, but I enjoy eating interesting things, and since I know how to fucking cooking and I have a decently supplied kitchen, I am going to spend a bit more money on a variety of things to make whatever the fuck I want.

I don't eat out often, I just buy nicer quality meat/fish and occasionally an imported ingredient for something i'm doing which will cost a bit extra.

What I know about you is you spend too much money on food you don't need and fucking internet you don't need. You could live off 50/10 Mbit just fine for example.

And now you're admitting you're wasting money on "imported food"

You are literally some hipster yuppie shit...

Lean to cook you cuck.

My Desktop is a Core2 based Xeon finagled into a Socket 775
Works beautifully

My laptop is a Core2 Duo

All Intel CPUs newer than Core2 are botnet

>50/10
50/50 is $80/month
75/75 is $90/month
150/150 is $100/month
300/300 is $200/month
500/500 is $300/month

I went for the sweet spot. No point saving $10-20 for 1/2 or 1/3 of the speed, similarly, no point paying double for 300/300.


And learn to cook what? I cook almost every night of the week and I make the majority of my breakfasts as well.

Just because you can't afford to cook interesting things from around the world doesn't mean I can't.

Acceptable.

Reliable my ass

my five year old motherboard with 2500k died for no fucking reason, like, it wouldn't get past POST in one out of million restarts.

trashed it, bought a 6700k and life's been good. old processors don't mean shit if you can't find quality motherboards and i'm not buying a shitty $50 motherboard with one SATA port to get my old processor running again

>I dob't feel like getting supported hardware
>It's the cpu's fault

>getting supported shitty over priced hardware

ftfy

Same is true for i5 2500K. To a lesser extent obviously.

was it an asus p8p67 perhaps?

i think it was asus p8p67 pro deluxe

is this a common problem for asus mobos?

Skylake has vt-d on K processors.

apparently. my p8p67 pro shat itself in 2014, after the warranty was out.

>tfw my i7 920 does just fine at stock clock after seven years

oh mine lasted 5 years until it started to refuse getting past POST (it used to get past POST after a dozen of restarts but then it simply refused)

i got my 6700k this summer

This fucking bullshit needs to stop. My Q6600 does fully utilize a 750Ti in graphics-heavy games.

i make that in 2 weeks and have no debt and i still live cheque to cheque because i lack any money sense. how to i into saving? do i have to stop being a fat alcoholic?

>decent gpu
>graphics heavy
>750ti

m8, just no.

So does Nehalem/Westmere.

I'm hoping it stays relevant throughout the next few years like the 7950. Hasn't asploded yet despite being an asus 290.

No it doesn't
Source: I have one and my $80 FX-6300 is faster (but both are shit)

unless you have an x99 sitting beside that you're not qualified to compare

i7 2600k @ 4.4 running on a stock cooler with SLI 1080s master race.

do you ever check to make sure your clocks are actually staying that high under load over time?

CPU overheat protection lowers the clock now, not shut the system down

>Pair it with an SSD
>SATA 2.0

Sure thing, buddy

>2011
>old

nice

The regular P8P67 PRO was mediocre but the Deluxe B3 Revision was the best of that lineup.

Yeah. I have it in my HAF X with an in room a/c unit on top of central a/c so temps are never a problem.

you can hardly notice the difference between sata 2.0 and 3.0 unless you're running synthetic benchmarks, dumbass

DESU I don't notice a difference between SATAI and SATAIII. I do notice it in benchmarks, but other than that.

>implying you can tell the difference between 300MB/s and 500MB/s

The main difference an SSD makes is latency, pure read/write speeds are nice too, but 300MB/s is already going to be decently quick, just the fact it's flash memory however will lower the latency by a factor of 100.

There is no time to waste when transferring your porn collection.

>tfw i have a 2500k and a radeon 7950

when i had a 2500 my 5850 was old, how many GPUs did that CPU go through?

yup

two

a 5770 and a 7950.

the 79XX series is the 2500k of video cards

i5-2500K is for pussies who were too scared to buy the i7-920.

4690k and r9 390.
feels good to not have to upgrade for few more years at least.

my e8400 is still reliable you idiot, op

lga 775, dualcore, stock is 3.0 ghz
intels midrange is still dualcore 3.0 ghz

processors have been getting diminishing returns in the last 5 years. i OC'd to 4.0 and still play latest gaymes and video processing. i hate this stupid incrementel upgrade meme. the pc biopoly is milking this shit dry son. do not upgrade, do not get fucked.

>i don't use my computer for anything important OP and im fine

>why do people need to do things on their computer? they must be idiots!

try running stats on a half a gig pcap in wireshark and sit in your corner and cry

jesus fuck

I used my Q6600 up until July and then I upgraded to the i5 2400

why would you upgrade to something not much newer?

Lol I used my Q6600 up until april, then I upgraded to a 5820k Haswell-E 6 core.

what an upgrade, gramps.

>implying any home user needs to do that

>non k

>mfw my X5650 handles everything I throw at it, including games
Upgrading from anything since Nehalem is for retards.

>non k in 2016

>ur ddr bw makes bb jesus cri leik everitiem

you clearly don't use your computer for anything requiring performance

and if you do there's a special place on the shortbus for posters like you

Like what? I use my PC mostly for programming, gaming, browsing, audio editing and some video encoding.

If I upgraded to Skylake I'd lose 4 virtual cores I'd be able to open audio files in Audition in 2 seconds rather than 3. Woop ti do.

>not getting it this much

you're into programming and look at jobs that take 2-3s as your point of reference? are you truly thinking impaired or were you just poorly taught?

>doesn't answer the question

True. q6600 is slower than a phenom 955, which bottlenecked my gtx 465 a few years ago

Running a q8400 atm. Quad core is really a requirement nowadays. Struggling on new gaymes so thinking about the 771 mod to a xeon.

ok... like compiling big projects, like your vid encoding shit, like data analysis, like virtual machines en mass, like compatability with faster memory, like compatibility with nvme, m.2, or any modern storage

im not the one forcing you to have depreciated system user, don't get lippy with me

My i5 3470 is still kicking ass :) Probably not gonna have to upgrade for a few more years.

>compiling big projects
>your vid encoding shit
>data analysis
Yes those might faster with newer 4c/8t CPUs, particularly if they aren't fully multithreaded. However, the improvement wouldn't be enough to justify the huge cost outlay.

>virtual machines en mass
12 virtual Westmere cores is better than 8 virtual Skylake cores for this use case. Not that any home user needs to run VMs "en mass" on a desktop system.

>compatability with faster memory
>compatibility with nvme, m.2, or any modern storage
Would be nice but not a huge improvement to everyday system responsiveness. Honestly newer SSD formats are probably the biggest persuasive factor for me to upgrade but it still isn't enough.

your tears sustain me

your crippled processor would literally nerf my life

stop trying to pretend it's the last cpu that matters

It's not the last CPU that matters. There's just little reason to upgrade and certainly not with Intel's current prices. Upgrading today from a Core 2 system is justifiable IMO, anything after that is questionable.

i went from a gen1 i5 to a 6700 at work and my cap processing went from literally minutes to a few seconds.

i know each tool for each job but older cpus are really just way to slow for real life

If it was that big of an improvement your workflow must've taken advantage of the newer instruction sets. Those are definitely useful in very specific situations. Either that or other things had changed (more RAM for example).

10GB to 32 and at much much higher frequency, 3200mhz from 1333

im just saying new tech works, it's not like it comes out for nothing. I'm only in my 3rd year of working here and i know. i cant imagine what people are doing where it would not factor in

I went from a first gen i5 to a Haswell Xeon and it was great, but I think it mostly helped me in terms of other parts being better rather than the processor being better. Like for example, more RAM. I used to have 8GB and it was horrible for my purposes.

yeah me too. I built my current computer at the end of 2007, and I'm still using the same CPU I bought back then. I'll probably use this computer for a few more years before I consider upgrading.

i donno it's nice having my cpu nice 'n' low, i was running 12 machines last week for a test and it idled under 20%

Q6600 can run't modern games.

The instruction set missing from Intel Core 2 CPUs is used in Quantum Break's renderer, and currently there are no plans of rewriting it. As the thread title basically says it all, and the discussion itself seems to be more about insulting each other, I'm locking this thread.

So long, and thanks for all the POPCorn.

Are you all stupid,the processor thing is VT-x not VT-d... VT-d is for motherboards

Will all future X86_64 CPUs include old instruction sets?

Or will software simply refuse to run because Intel dropped support for it?

Work is different to home though. At work our workstations are really getting on now and we're rolling out a new 3-year-upgrade lease deal to replace them in a month's time. We have some Xeon Phis for experimenting with the latest technology but otherwise x86 isn't fast enough for what we do anyway so anything from the last 5 years in our servers is fine for running our dev VMs

what sort of fortune x00 looks at phi for research

idk i think you're playing cards not in your deck. I've seen the horizon and it's not magic and infinite budgets and anime

it's usually pretty real and even our magic is tracked and cataloged... or it's a shitstorm and no one knows what's up. tech is a good time irl. i wish i had a functional snapchat tho

>Yeah my 1000 Cinebench score would like to have a word with you.
Ok? There's no way you're doing 1000cb with a single X5675. It's just impossible. X5600 shit is ancient and can only keep up with modern stuff when they're dual socket.

yup, two of them might get over 1k, but one of them wont.

Even my 5820k at 4.4GHz barely manages over 1,200cb

What's the point in lying about something that is easily verifiable?

>Do it. Upgraded from a i7-950 to a X5675. OCed it to 4.4GHz with all C states and shit and it's stable.
I can't run my X5650 above 4 GHz. My motherboard doesn't let me select 21x as a ratio, it throttles if I set my ratio to 22x making that setting pointless, and it doesn't like BCLK above 200 MHz either.

>$200 food

To insure against what? Poverty? You moron, ditch the insurance.

>You moron, ditch the insurance
That's retarded. 1200/year is cheap health insurance.

forreal though this actually works really well lol

To insure against getting hit by a car and owing 100k in medical debit you dumb fuck

also, you literally can't have a smartphone in the US with $5 a month, that's phone card and shitty flip phone kind of money.

Also i'm not spending less on food, fuck you guys and your eat 1 protein and 1 carb for a month bullshit, I'll spend $200 on real fucking food and eat like a human not some faggot cuck animal living off rice/beans and chicken every fucking night.

You're comparing an i5 to i7. That has nothing to do with older architecture.

youtube.com/watch?v=vOM4QuCr4ms

Not if it covers nothing.

>Overclocked within an inch of its life
>barely squeaks past 1000
lol

If you compare the i5 2500k (sandybridge) with the i5 750 (lynnfield) it's like a 40% difference with the 2500k being better. That's only a year difference though.

Comparing the i5 2500k with the i5 6600k is only 20% difference with the 6600k (skylake) being the better.
However, thats only 20% in the past 4 years.

If you OC the 2500k you're going to close that gab quite reasonably.

The people who say the 2500k is outdated are dumb shills and the people who've been holding onto Core 2 Series are just delusional.

/thread

>Core 2 Series are just delusional.
Not at all. You can still browse most of the web on a 650MHz Pentium III.

I'm mostly memeing when I say that.

Core 2 can still make an excellent facebook machine or maybe even a cheap gaming rig.

Pentium III I'd say only if you're going with lightweight linux distros.

>Overclocked within an inch of its life
You wouldn't say that about an i7-2600K @ 4.6 GHz. They're on the same process node, user.

>If you compare the i5 2500k (sandybridge) with the i5 750 (lynnfield) it's like a 40% difference with the 2500k being better. That's only a year difference though.
Erm no. You must be including clock speed differences bro. IIRC Sandy Bridge had ~15% better IPC than Westmere/Nehalem on average.

Your broader point is correct though.

>i7-2600K
yeah because it has 2 less cores to cool...

4c/4t at 4.6GHz is NOT the same as 6c/6t at 4.6GHz...

True. The latter is way better and doesn't actually run that hot (about the same as 4c/8t Nehalem).

I remember my q8200 bottnecking my GTX460, when I switched to a new i5 I got triple benchmark scores.

You're correct I did not includ Clockspeed differences. I'm going based on the overall best of that gen versus the best another one.

In reality based on my research with similar clock speed differences i5 2300 with 2.8ghz vs the i5 750 2.7ghz the difference between those is about 10%.

Although one could argue that the orientation of Sandybridge made it easier to reach higher clock speeds... However that's bullshitty sounding.

that's not a flaw, it's a feature

True. I'm using a i5-2400 and it works just fine, might struggle a little when I'm working with Illustrator, but that's understandable considering I'm using Intel HD graphics.

Altough there IS improvement, it only takes some time to notice how some CPUs fall behind.

no, u

Wait so the X5650 is the same as the X5675 but cheaper and clocked lower?

still better than ANY aaayyyyymd poo in the loo cpus

i tried overclocking my 2500k last week to like 4.4k a feww weeks ago. it seemed to be fine but i checked speccy recently and it's back to stock clocks @ 3.3. what gives? too scared to try again

i want an 8 socket computer with 8 quad core 60mb l2 cache xeon e7 8893 v4, which cost 8000 a piece.

that would be 32 cores in 8 sockets for 64,000 dollars, plus another 12,000 for 3 terabytes of ram, another 72,000 for 4 quadro M6000 24gb and 4 tesla coprocessors. another 22,000 for raid 6 pci-e SSD's and redundant 4000 watt psu's.

and then i'd have custom made blocks for the teslas and quadros and do liquid cooling with fluorinert-446 on the entire thing, add 8,000 dollars.

put it all in a custom mahogany/glass/lead shrine that pumps sandalwood incense through the fans and laser lights through massive crystals that the computer is grounded into. like 20lb quartz crystals.

yeah baby.

Truly the Q6600 of our time

The Soviet Union.

Yes it can, and it runs it well. No games really KILL this CPU. Hell, even a core 2 quad is doable these days.

Yes.

>not upgrading to a 6 core Xeon

You can get an 8 core(16 thread) Xeon(E5-2670) off ebay for $80. They even run in non-server X79 boards.

You could go all out, get two of them and a dual socket server board. 32 thread 16 core monster.

could i then watercool it, add a big crystal, and put it into a mahogany frame?

t. dual 8 core xeons

My x2 250 is still running strong in my seedbox

Uh, no... everybody knows cpus expire like bread and milk!

youve said nothing about the cpu you got.
You talked about 4 cpus in a single paragraph and made no mention of the pros and cons of the one you got.

I just upgraded from an esomethingoranother, it was dual core no threads and was clocked at 2.5 ghz.
When I had to do processing intensive shit, like convert a video to a different format, it was killmyself slow.

I with with an i7-6700k and its been so much better.

>people still push that meme
at least post a sandy i7
