why do you need a more powerful CPU than i3?
for enhanced shitposting abilities
>>54490659
You can buy an 8 core Intel atom with ECC ability for cheaper.
>>54490700
Source?
>>54490659
I5 is completely unnecessary. If you need the performance, buy an i7. If you don't need the performance, buy a Pentium. If you need enough performance to play video games smoothly, buy an i3
why do you need a more powerful CPU than Athlon X4?
>Not getting a sempron 145 and tossing the dice straight into the toilet hoping you can unlock the 2nd core.
I switched from i3 to i5 recently because the i3 was already at 40% with a 1080p twitch stream, and using Visual studio along with a browser was getting it to almost 100%. Not a comfortable experience.
>not using a 18 core 36 thread xeon

>i3 was already at 40% with a 1080p twitch stream
you mean 4%. or you're lying
>>54490871
Unless you were using a downlocked i3 530, you're lying out of your ass.
>>54490659
So I can get all the benefits of extreme under clocking.
>>54490871
i5 comfy
Virtualization
ECC RAM (not all i3's support it)
More PCI lanes
CPU Emulations (i3's shitty cpu's can't emulate certain CPU architectures fast enough)
And this is only the tip of the iceberg
Too much background processes.
>>54490871
are u on linux ? wtf even intel igpu could take over twitch stream
>>54490659
Run my Linux and Windows 7 VMs.
Play gaymes at max FPS.
And what >>54490664 said.
I don't even need anything more powerful than a Core 2 Duo SL9400, yet I own a desktop with an i7-4770K... which I use to watch movies.
>>54490802
This desu
>m-muh VMs
i stream gayman once in a while but actually an i3 4270 or whatever the 3.7ghz haslel i7 is is perfect for it
We're reaching/reached the point where Joe Normalfaggot can no longer noticeably better performance by upgrading
I'm sure the Jewish sales people will find ways to make him spend unnecessary money but even Joe Normalfaggot has a point after which he knows he is being jewed
Its gonna be a few interesting years in tech, I think things are going to be mostly software focused from now and people will tend towards better and more efficient, hardware is dead as fuk
Linux has a better chance to steal wangblows market share than ever
>>54492084
VMs are more ram dependent you faggot, any shit CPU can handle multiple VMs running in parallel
>>54490871
>i3 was already at 40% with a 1080p twitch stream
I hit that much with a shitty mobile celeron N2840. WTF r u doin?
>>54492086
i3*
I want a 6 core i7 so I can run TempleOS in a vm.
Encoding video with x264
>>54492097
he's a lying piece of shit
i3 duel core 3.7 ghz 4th gen + r9 380x = all my games at high to max (not including vertical sync)
>>54490871
Thats because twitch flash player was fucked up for a while.
>>54492075
There's no kill like overkill. I just bought a $200 PC with keyboard/mouse that has better specs than that.
>>54492230
>games requiring more than two cores anyway
Mind you, you can't have shit going on at the same time as gaming because you don't have the spare cores, but for most people that isn't an issue because they don't have other shit going on other than the task at hand.
>>54490659
I used to have an i3. Basic computer operations were just slow. Upgraded to a 3770k for $200 and never looked back. I don't get these threads.
>>54490790
Does Far Cry 4 and other games that require quad core work in i3? Without any mod. Those aren't real cores so I don't know.
>>54490659
For rendering with vray.
>>54492400
Well truth to be told I got that desktop back in 2013 when I was still into vidyagaymes. Last year I started uni and also fell for the Thinkpad meme, and haven't looked back since.
>>54490880
Found the pleb. There is a 22 core 44 thread xeon.
>>54492497
Far cry 4 will work on an i3 because it has 4 threads, but anything less and it will fail to work.
>>54490659
> boku no premium cpu
Because 4 cores doesnt really cut it anymore for me, and since each core is capable of hyperthreading, why not leave it on?
>>54492285
Twitch still hasn't move to html5 yet?
