For those that missed it, here is the "The Worst CPU & GPU Purchases of 2017" video that the title refers to: th-cam.com/video/CKEX4L375RI/w-d-xo.html
Hi Steve, please can you specify the graphics API that's used in each of the games that you test. On some slides you do mention it but others you don't.
I also have a question regarding test configuration - how did you manage to boot Ryzen 7 1700 on x570 Aorus Master? Gigabyte does not list support for this combination.
do intel 10th gen vs amd ryzen 4000 battery test.I think acer nitro 5 2020 would be nice choice
ahhhhhhhhhhh the sound of that porn music with my hardware unboxed mug.... wakes me up here on top of the world :). I get Alexa to play the jingle every day I make coffee. lol.
Has the ryzen 3300x been nominated as worst cpu due to trivia behind its availability of purchase?
>2017's worst processor
How dare you snub the i5 7640X "HEDT" processor of its rightful title.
Nobody purchased that, and the few that did got what they paid for (competitive overclockers).
@Unknown Nomad Certainly a worthy contender, but I think needing an expensive HEDT board for a 4C/4T chip pushes the 7640X over there line.
@@turkishultranationalist yeah but who buys i3 with a z board?
Nah the worst was the i5 7600k, borderline unplayable with stutter.
@@yarchieduke
You mean Borderlands? Which one?
i5-7600K was a much worse buy, because it was only slightly cheaper, but will last way shorter, and already has stuttering issues.
Guess what I bought...
same. upgraded to 8700K recently
@@LeafGreenHDD I'm stuck because of Z170. I could try modded bios and risk bricking the motherboard, but Ryzen prices are so low I'm going to wait a year or 2 and upgrade fully to it once the i5 becomes too weak
same man.. bought an rx 5600 xt and it bottlenecked my 7600 so much. upgraded to ryzen 5 3600 and it was just unbelievable
Thats why i bought 5820k 6 core over another 4 core. And it paid off. Even tho the ipc is slower the fact that it has 2 more cores and modern games using more than 4 threads the future proofing actually worked lmao. What made me choose 6 core is the stuttering that i saw on 4 cores at release time and no such thing on a 6 core. The platform cost a lot tho, ddr4, the x99 mobo and cpu. Im not upgrading until zen 5 comes out with ddr5. But i am gonna swap the aging gpu for rdna 2 and ampere when its out.
@@jacekjagosz Id go big balls and mod the board yolo
So if 7700K is basically an i3 now then it should still be a solid recommend from userbenchmark.
Currently, 25 people who bought i7s are not really happy with their new i3.
"Loser"benchmark

Lol, i have the i5 7300hq it is the same chip but with hyperthreading disabled and a lower boost clock. Fucking thing performs worse than my c2quad.
Are u also noting poor battery life on your mobile cpu? In battery saving mode my pc doesn't get more than 4h on minimum brightness... maybe because I have a 1060?
I have an Asus GL703VD laptop and it pisses me off that I can't disable hyperthreading :-/
I'd be happy to trade hyperthreading for slightly lower temperature and higher boost.
well i basically still use i7 7500u... feels like a pure scam of i7 nowadays
well i bought i7 7700k when it released and able to sold it for higher price than new r5 3600 price 🤣 .I bought the r5 to replace it .
The good thing about Intel CPU is the aftermarket price, and the Longevity. I don't think i ever heard of an Intel CPU getting fried or something. I don't know for newer generations, coz Intel is pushing these chips to their very limit.
That's convenient. But obviously it was the best deal you could make, therefore, congrats. ;) And now you have a platform where you could add a 12-core or 16-core in the future, too.
@@EpicListening7 intel CPU never getting fried
i9: HI!!!!!
@@RAYSGT Actually i prefer Amd over Intel. My new system will b red team. Both cpu and gpu. I am just sharing my experience. Also, i was working on a Internet cafe for a couple of years and we never had any problem with Intel cpu. 6th generation and below. @IAM HARDWELL That's why i said i don't know for newer generations, coz i don't have any exp.
This makes me want to sell my legendary 2500k. Sat in storage with 8gb ddr3 vengeance ram and a good gigabyte z68 board... I got a b450 and r5 3600 but the old intel sandybridge chips are just as amazing to me
And still being sold at launch price
even in the used market?
You may as well sell the motherboard and cpu for 400 as a combo and buy a b450 and 3700x for no extra cost.
@@jeromegaces6184 yeah check eBay.
@@miniweeddeerz1820 what the freaking f!? I would just go with R3 and spend the extra for a RTX or something
Over here the 7700K went from its initial 375 retail price down to 275 at its lowest in May 2018 before going back up again. It's never been a good value proposition, regardless of stock levels.
Just went from 7700k to Ryzen 9 5900x. The 8 extra physical cores and 16 extra threads are… speedier to say the least. But my 7700k powered me through some of the best years of my life from some of the greatest laughs I’ve ever had, to showing past romantic interests the world of VR. I’m not afraid to say that I bought this processor. It taught me kindness, and when it aged like a fine wine, patience. What more can you ask for from a processor? Rest easy, ol’ buddy. 😪
I’ll take your old 7700k
The 7700K is still a beast if you learn to overclock and pair it with fast memory. My 8700K was barely an upgrade and I've had to turn 6 of the cores off on my 10900K to play Starfield.
@@theHardwareBench I had it overclocked but it throttled like crazy due to the paste intel used on these chips. Alas I agree it is a solid chip at 5 ghz and I have retired it to powering my NAS setup which it does amazingly. It’s running with some DDR4 clocked at a modest 3000 mhz, more than enough for any media server running Linux.
I built my first beast of a pc around an i7-6700k and that thing lasted years without ever feeling old.
Granted, I don't push my pc to any crazy processing limits, but that and a 1080 did everything I wanted for 6 or 7 years. Can't ask for much more than that
@@joshpointoh I am actually still on a 6700K, was thinking of upgrading to a 13900K a year ago, but then I realized that this processor is still hella fast for most of my needs, not to mention I don't need an extra air conditioning unit.
As someone who snagged a 7700k years ago and is still using it at 4.8Ghz, I’m patiently waiting AMD’s Zen 3 CPUs. Great video and very informative.
you can easily connect 2 pins on a 8700k and have a easy upgrade. it will work with z270 no problem.
@@singular9 Doesn't it work in just asRock motherboards afaik?
Same here but until I see benchmarks I’m not certain it will be enough improvement as it will take a large jump for me to deem it worth it.
Sam C Agreed, hopefully more info soon. I’m not in a rush so at least and am in a good spot.
Same here. My 7700k (paired with my 1080ti) has served me well but dying to jump to AMD again after a long hiatus...very keen to see how Zen 3 will perform.
tbh, I think the 7600k was an even worse purchase. due to only having 4 threads, it struggles a lot more than the i7 in games
I feel bad for the owners of 6600k and 7600k.
@@VargVikernes1488 yeah, I bought a 6600k in 2015, and at release it was already too slow to hit 60fps in Crysis 3. luckily it died after three years, so I replaced it with a R5 2600 which was a massive improvement
@@VargVikernes1488 I have 7600k, and because I game at 1440p it just doesn't matter. This video benches at 1080p which is obsolete already if you're a real gamer.
@@teranyan bruh 1080p is fine i game on 768p
You really shouldn't A) Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody expected Ryzen to be that good. B) 1st gen Ryzen had it's fair share of problems. It wasn't until Zen+'s release in 2018, that Ryzen truly became a worthwhile cpu series.
TL:DR Skylake/Kaby lake owners are fine, because Ryzen didn't become proper untill Zen+ release in 2018.
Ahh, 2017, back when this channel had about 40k subscribers and we were commenting on Steve's shirts. Good to see how they've grown, I still watch many of their videos, even though I haven't purchased any PC parts in the last 3 years or so.
I just realized they have over 500k subscribers now. I remember when Matt used to be the host, he would wear the same blue shirt in every vid.
@@MrC77 yup. i feel d same. hv bought g4560
My 7700k, delidded - with liquid metal applied between IHS and CPU die, runs at 5 GHz and 60-70 C under heavy load. As a gamer, this CPU is still perfectly fine. Thanks for confirming that for me, Steve! Great work, guys!
Dude, I did the same thing with almost exactly the same results! After delidding this chip actually became usable. lol
@@Thrashman138 "Usable".. boy, I edited and got paid for 6 music videos using a stock 7700K + 1050ti back in the day.. don't know what y'all smoking.. even back then it could push GTA 5 75+fps..
worst processor 1800x low fps even 3700x have same fps like 7700k oc
@@clenbuterol4989 Glad I'm not the only person who realises early Ryzen was a joke, I bought a 1700X which was so bad I bought the 7700K shortly after. The 1700X was generally worse than my i5 4670K at the time! Even my FX6300 was faster playing PUBG, I run everything OC'd not stock.
It's amazing how AMD pushed the whole industry forward with the release of Zen. If it weren't for them we'd still see "high end" 4 core CPUs. It's debatable, since Intel response with 6 core parts was quick, but I guess we'll never know if those parts where destined to be core i5 and i7 as they turned out to be, or they were just creating the new range of core i9 for $1000+. They most likely would've cut two cores to keep milking the users' tit, but had to release 6 core i5s and i7s thanks to AMD.
But the point of the video is, even in 2020 the 7700K is ahead of the 1700 for gaming, but the 1700 mops the floor with it in productivity tasks. I guess if you bought the 7700k specifically for gaming in 2016, it wasn't necessarily a bad buy. You enjoyed greater performance for the whole life of the product... 4 years is more than enough to consider these parts obsolete... I went myself with the 1600 in 2016 but it's showing it's age now, so I will most certainly upgrade to a 3700x/4700x soon.
PS: Glad to see overclocked results for the Ryzen 1700. I criticised your last video because you showed Intel overclock results but not AMD's. The picture is much clearer now!
Oh, they were expecting Zen allright, but it appears even AMD was surprised at its performance. What was the claim? Around 40% better than their last generation? And it turned out to be even better and more efficient. And as a Linux user back then it was such a bargain as soon as it launched, no need to wait for a lower price or a better scheduler that were required with Windows. The bigger questions were on the chipset, especially the less than stellar southbridge that AMD users were becoming accostumed to, and at launch memory support of course, but it's not such a complicated matter than you didn't expect them to resolve the issue.
I believe intel was really expecting to solve their manufacturing problems, that the technology development would soon be back on track, they tested the waters with some (iirc) OEM-only 10nm processors that must've been the most disappointing new process CPUs they've ever launched, while AMD, with the migration from GlobalFoundries to TSMC, kept getting better and as soon as the industry started treating them as a true competitor and not intel's second fiddle, the user finally got a choice. But to me the true sign in the consumer market will be when AMD laptops are on par with intel ones, they're better than they were at the height of the Athlon days of course, but not yet on par.
@@DzinkyDzink But at the moment, if what you could buy was a 7700k or a 1700 and what you do with it is just plain old gaming, if was an alright buy that still gives you better performance. Obviously, the platform itself is pretty garbage and with Ryzen you still have the capability to upgrade to a current CPU.
I went with Ryzen and I'm happy enough, but the numbers are there: the 7700K was and is the better gaming CPU.
@@DzinkyDzink You could always wait for the next, greatest thing, but the realistic point of view is that you should buy the best you can at the best price you can whenever you need it. If due to waiting, you have no gaming PC, I don't see the use of it. It's different when you already have a build you can use (such as myself at the moment, waiting for Zen 3). But back then, if you needed a new PC exclusively for gaming, the 7700k was not a horrible decision. Neither was Ryzen at the time, let me be clear. Competition made it so both platforms were viable back on the day, unlike now that seems to be that Ryzen is the only smart choice, since all third gen CPUs are basically just as fast for gaming while being way stronger for productivity.
@@DzinkyDzink If you already had a Z170 system then you could sell that i3 or i5 for $100+ and upgrade to a 7700k for around $200. That's what I did and it was considerably less than a whole new Ryzen platform that was having some well known gaming performance and memory compatibility issues.
@@DzinkyDzink I don't know about you, but I wouldn't wait one or two years to build a gaming rig. I'd rather buy the parts now, even if it's in the second hand market, and then if needed there's always the possibility of reselling it and getting the newest thing. Waiting that long in a world that is always evolving and rendering 2+ old tech obsolete, makes absolutely no sense.
Waiting one or two months can make sense when you know a product will absolutely be gamechanging, but if there's no guarantee that's gonna be the case or it's too far down the line, just buy whatever provides the best performance and suits your budget.
Got my 7700k back in march/april 2017, just before Ryzen 1st gen released. Still doing great for games. Hyperthreading on a quad-core chip like this one makes a world of difference today. Back then, people were recommending me getting a 4c/4t i5 and spending that leftover money on a better GPU. Good thing I wasn't listening to them. Saw the Ryzen coming and knew 4c/4t wasn't going to cut it in the future.
Probably gonna wait till 5nm Zen 4 releases, then get the whole new platform, DDR5 ram and new socket with it.
Don't listen to them, 7700k is still an absolute beast.
Bullshit Unboxed always at it with blatant AMD shilling.
They think it's what people want to hear right now.
most games still run good on 8 threads so no need to change yet
but its nice that you got an option to have the same for 100$ now
@@BitZapple I'm sorry but telling it like it is doesn't make this channel AMD shills. The i7-7700k _was_ a terrible CPU in 2017 because Intel released the i7-8700k just 9 months later in October of the same year, which was basically a slap in the face from Intel to anyone that purchased the 7th gen parts.
LoL 7700k = 3700x @ games ! 2017 year CPU = 2019 year CPU !
So dont worry , intel will allways be beter @ games .
@@C-S-J can't you say that to any cpu after one year? 1st gen ryzen isn't good for gaming anyway. Gaming on ryzen leveled intel from 3rd gen
The 7700K was the best mainstream 14nm quad-core i7, and it's till very capable in many applications and games. No surprise there. It's pretty much still available today as the 10300. Ta-dah!
i concur! Still on mine, and, still does everything I need it to.
don't tell me in 3 years
Core i3 13100
8 Core 16 Thread '-')
I think Intel's plan for 11th gen desktop CPUs are backporting their 10nm architecture to their 14nm process, then their i5s to i9s will be using this new backported architecture, and their i3s will be using the old architecture. But this means in order to improve the 11th gen i3 compared to 10th gen, they might make the 11th gen i3 a 6c/12t part. Anyway Intel's 14nm process has matured over so many years so they should be able afford cramming 6 cores into an i3 part.

I can still remember all the Ryzen 1rst gen fans claiming some sort of half-assed victory, because they 'would have won' if only the 7700K was also clocked down to the same 3.9-4.0 GHz clock speeds....! LOL!
Don't thank Intel for this , only AMD deserves the it , if it was not them we would still have quad-core for 500$
@Nathaniel Smith If u can afford the 3960x or higher you have a good reason for it. They are intended for proffesionals.
@Nathaniel Smith unless you are gaming. literally any other professional/work application uses as much cores as you throw at them. with exception of rare few such as adobe photoshop.
@Nathaniel Smith that's a bit of a sweeping and over generalising statement isn't it? i have a 3950x CPU running a storage server that's running 24*7 with 8 cores assigned to it meanwhile i run a windows virtual machine on the same system to play games and do everyday stuff.
this 3950x was only 50% more costly than the 6 core 5930k that i bought 2 years ago and now i have more than double the core 6 vs 16 core with super energy efficient performance and relatively cheap motherboards.
Probably a blessing in disguise. Now we have amd forcing core printer brr battle with intel, degrading quality and forcing chiplet for no consumer gain.
Where are you getting that $500?
Intel MSRP is $350 at the highest, while lowest, but at rare at times, is $330. Blame your e/retail and govt taxes for inflating the prices, from MSRP $350 to $500.
I still own my 7700K. It's purring still like a puppy and overclocking nicely to 4.87. I love it. It will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I think, when I make a new pc, I'm gonna make a new pc, not upgrade. I'm never gonna give up on good ol 7700k.

I would say for Gaming the 7700k is still good until late 2021.
I bought my 8700k 2 Years ago and even back then i thought i would upgrade around 2022. Seems like i wasnt that far off.
I'm pretty satisfied with it @5GHz. I'm not playing most new games tho, but for a lot of titles I can still go for 120Hz gaming.
Yeah Zen3 might be the first real reason to upgrade time will tell if not then maybe Intels next actually new offering but that could be awhile. If Zen3 isn’t 15%+ faster in most games over a 7700k I doubt I’ll upgrade as I hate upgrading for small change.

@@David-tp7mc If he's talking about the 7700k you need to de-lid it. Once you do that it drops temps by 10-20 C. I had my 7700k @ 4.9 in an ITX case with no case fans and a low-profile Silverstone cooler and it never overheated.
7700k at like 4.7 ghz, works still fine, waiting for next gen, since this gens was more about multithreading than game performance.
Mine is at the same all-core clock of 4.7 GHz, runs about 75C under load...; trying for 4.8 GHz resulted in 85C temps, not worth it...
@@mdd1963 I am ay 85c or close to that, can even go to 92 at full load, ofc it's silicon lottery. Anyways, i ordered a new pc, it has 10700k water cooled and 3080, gonna see how it goes, hopefully it isn't trash prebuilt, otherwise i'll send it back. kek
Also my case in kinda trash, so that influences temp too.

Edit: this is for your first reply to this comment
Agreed. I’m still rocking a 6700K and it still kicks ass
I'm running mine delided at 5.0Ghz. Stays under 75 degrees even under full load. I'm satisfied!
Rasmus Andersson yeah I’m running a 7700k delid at 4.9ghz. It gets the job done but dayum did we pay out the ass for 4c/8t compared to now lol.
Meh... back in the day I upgraded from a i7 3820 (3.8ghz) to a 7700K and I got a good performance boost in games so I was fine with my decision at that time.
Awkward moment when you realise this is the CPU you have. Tbh its done me well, only for gaming and didn't cost me alot as I got it on a amazon prime day deal.
It wasn't a terrible CPU in it's day. It was just terribly overpriced compared to the competition.
lol you made out with this cpu, go look at ebay sold listings, they are selling for 270 usd USED! A friend of mine sold his for 290 a month ago after 2.5 years of use.
Can't wait for your reviews on Ampere and Zen 3.
Everybody forgets about a 6700k :(, but i guess it makes sense why, 7700k is just 6700k with 200mhz higher clock, so if average 6700k can do 4.5ghz the average 7700k will be able to do 4.7ghz no problem.
300 MHz higher turbo....

I bought my 7700k on launch in 2017. 3 years later and it’s still kicking ass at 1440p paired with a 2070 Super and 16gb of ram. I’ll probably run it until I notice a substantial drop in gaming performance.
I have the exact same spec. It can run almost any game on high setting 1080p without any problem.
Ha, I used the i7 7700k clocked at 4.7 GHz for late 2017 - late 2021. Apparently it also had been running at about 100 celsius for all those years since I never checked the temps after building it. Still ran as expected all those years as well. Great CPU and someone is running it now since I gave it away.
@@sack8439 2 years later and I still think it’s one of the best CPUs I’ve owned. I ended up swapping it out in late 2020 when I did a completely new build. I went with an i9-9900, 32gb and a 3080.
"Welcome back as Harvard Unbox..." Ahh I see. A fellow intellectual
That’s a school I would send my kids to for sure.
It amazes me people get mad about this stuff though, I bought a 7700k a few months before the paper launch of the 8700k, which is really an early 2018 part. It was the best gaming CPU, period, and it wouldn't have made sense for me to invest in a different platform and CPU on the gamble of spending more money later on a Zen2 part, to get similar performance 2 years later, it's just leaving performance on the table, not marginal performance either like we see today either. Today I'd get AMD, no problem, but it just wasn't the case in 2017, let's be glad competition is here and this is a page from history
Only reason I get mad over buying the 7700k was I did it in March the weekend after ryzen launched and then a month later all of the sudden the 8700k was coming soon. It was supposed to launch in 2018. I totally would've held off another half a year if I knew the 8700k was coming.
@@JonWood007 I was on an i7 950 with an GPU I had upgraded previously from a GTX 285 to a GTX 670 and wanted 1440p gaming so was itching for a new system, I couldn't wait at the time, was essentially a 9 y/o system. Today my system is barely 3 y/o and it's just a case of 'when will I need/really really want' more than 8 threads for gaming?'

@@MelvinMichaelget no, XMP has nothing to do with that, as for overclocking the cpu then yes, it will, but you will have a new cpu by the time it breaks because of that, it's like decreasing the life expectancy from 20 years to 10 years, are you really gonna use it for 10 years? I doubt.
@@triple_octopus So If i select a profile for XMP and use it, it wont decrease the life or do any harm for my cpu , Ram or Graphics right.

I was using a 6700K until last April. I finally switched to the 3900X and I can't tell you how absolutely AWESOME it is to be rendering a video, gaming, and recording your gameplay all at the same time without noticing ANY difference in gaming performance. Damn you Intel for forcing us to use quadcores for more than a decade.
Competition is a beautiful thing. 4c8t went from i7 to i3 😍
thats the best part of AMD finally getting its act together, although really still 4c/8t is perfectly good for gaming its just a lot cheaper now which is great!
I'd really love to see this kind of retrospective for my i7 3770k. Paired with 16 GB of RAM and a GTX1660 I can still use that almost nine year old CPU to play most current games at medium to high settings at 1080p around 60 FPS. But it's starting to struggle in CPU intensive titles.
Very nice video. Zero nonsense. To the point
intel kept us in the dark ages.
the fact most people want an 'i7' over more threads is sad.
intel marketing was genius tbf.
Im a gamer its better for gaming. The rest is irrelevant. Wtf do i need with more threads if games wont even use them... my 9900k had 16 but during gaming i havent ever seen it reach 50% load... heck during most games its 15 to 35% load so most games still are not quad core capable.
@@pino_de_vogel Then you can buy an i3 or r3 and save yourself hundreds. I'm referring to the fact people see an i7 sticker and think its good, even if now its no different to an i5. This is mostly a problem with laptops, people pay $100s more just for a sticker.

@@pino_de_vogel Then I'm not sure what you expected. The only way CPUs are getting faster these days is with more threads. It's very difficult to improve clock speeds.

Thanks for the video, was just going to replace my cpu from a i7 6700, what would you recommend?
I've loved my i7 7700k but it's time to move on. When I play certain games like The Division 2, watching streams, having other things open on my monitors my CPU caps out at 100% CPU usage so I purchased the R7 3700X. If I strictly only played games I wouldn't be making this purchase.
twitch is terrible unoptimized garbage that eats cpu resources,especially with bttv on a spammy stream like Xqc or Asmon with 40k+ viewers
But this is just the thing. These benchmarks are run at a dedicated machine with a clean install. I have 1 pc so many background services and programs are running. When I drive a sim, there is steam, fanatec drivers, simhub, fanatec control software, steam vr and then the game. Im not going to close all background processes before I jump in a game, so more cores will benefit more in real life situations. I would love to see actual cpu usage and performance of my 7700k while gaming in vr versus a 3700x or 10600k
@@ludacrisleon828 GamersNexus did tested that and Hardware Unboxed parroted the same thing they found; All of those things don't add enough of a system load to cause a 4c/8t CPU to falter.

If there's one thing intel's greed good for is keeping the used market price high. When juggling between $500 upgrading CPU+MB+DDR4 to the next gen compared to buying a used 7700K for $200 is a no brainer for the uninitiated.

upgrades are a myth. for the first 10 years of DIY PC building i "upgraded" things every year, arrived at a sub-optimal build after 3-5 years, and then would hit the inevitable package upgrade limitations (which all manufacturers are guilty of, for as long as i've been building PCs.) for the last 25 years (yeah, i'm aged like a fine wine over here lol) i _do not upgrade_ a PC. I build it and suffer through it for ~5 years at a time, instead, i save the money I would have spent upgrading and just build a new box from scratch, buying all the latest tech available that year, which means every 5 years i get a top end build for the same money i would have "wasted" buying suboptimal hardware over the prior few years. as someone who has been building PCs for several decades i can confirm that the total cost of upgrading changes very little over time. i spent 2000 per PC in the 90s, and the same in the 2000s, and the same in the 2010s, and here in 2023 it is the same story (with a slight increase because the GPU market is still seeing price gouging, resulting in a doubling of GPU prices that doesn't seem to be disappearing.) plan accordingly, come out better over time.

It was 2017's best cpu for single-core-biased games and still solid for those. Wasn't a big jump in reality from the 4790K though.
8700K released on 2017.
the reason it wasn't a big jump from the 4790k is ddr4 wasnt available in higher than 2133 at launch, which skewed performance numbers. Running at 3000+mhz though it is significantly faster.
Exactly that’s why many people still on overclocked 4790k as it performs pretty great even today.

@@joefries365 yeah i get that. I dont stream either and especially the 3950 tends to destroy the old pre 8700k/8600k cpus in any game where they are using a modern engine. Doom eternal uses all 16 threads of my 3800x, almost any dx 12 or vulcan game will also give you more performance out of the 3950x. The only time this isnt true is when the game isnt really using much cpu power to calculate game data, so weaker cpus like the 4c8t cpus dont seem to be far behind in only those games. 80% of the games ive bought this year will use 8 or more threads. Every pc has background tasks in windows so if even one thread is in use by windows you no longer have all the resources dedicated to the game. Depending on what other tasks the pc has going (skype,steam,whatever) this will cause frame pacing issues. (Frame time and frame pacing have nothing to do with streaming, they describe how even the timing is between the frames of your game. In one second, my pc puts out 144 frames. So 144 times a second, a new picture is put on the screen. Game play looks smoothest when those frames are distributed evenly over that second. A frame every 6.3 milliseconds. Intel cpus of old did not deliver the frames to the graphics card at nearly as consistant a pace as the the amd zen architecture. Zen 2 is notably better at maintaining 9900k abouts performance for much less money, with better overall performance consistency.
@@TJ.85 if a 4ghz ryzen will provide 144 fps on a 1440p 144hz screen, with better 0.1 and .1% lows (meaning less frame drops than intel) with all the graphical settings set as high as they can go, is there any reason why i would care about intel's higher clocks and lower IPC? The game is going to look even better because it wont suffer from those microstudders that intel cpu's are well known to have in some games, while providing all the grames the monitor can display, while being on an architecture that will be the architecture that next gen games will be optimized for by default (due to the consoles), For a lower price. why would i care about the tiny amount of fps loss i'd get from a few hundred mhz? if you can do 155 fps, and i can only do 144. wand we both have 144hz screens, im not sure that the whole clockspeed angle is quite as performant as you were thinking. Intel and Amd cpu's game pretty much identically, Intel has higher Average total fps, Amd has superior 0.1 and 1% perfomrance and better frame pacingn consistency. i'd rather have the chip that doesnt bog down as easily in those low areas.

I'm biased as I owned a 6700K since 2016, but as my first gaming CPU there was nothing that could compete at the time. Finally upgraded to a 3900X this year though!
@Nathaniel Smith i mean, fx came out with the 2600k, so like 10years ago
@Nathaniel Smith definetly
I notice the 1600/2600 and 2700X are behind the 7700K in BF5 average framerates....; are they garbage?
My ideal generational jump is 4790K to 9700K (i9 without hyperthreading)
This CPU is even worse in Laptops with Overheating issues in almost all brands, Undervolting to -140 lowers the temp down to 85 celcius and 80 with liquid metal.
7700K in laptop?

This depends on the individual laptop's thermal solution. I had no problems with thermals on my Lenovo with the 7700 mobile part.
What GPU was used to make these comparisons?
Broadwell-E and Skylake-X were pretty dope at the time about productivity.

edit: that was in 2015
Show him death stranding this game needs more than 4 cores.
At that time actually 4 cores was enough.
@@kristofhorvath6868 I knew that was going to change though, everyone could see it coming
And 4c 8t is still enough lol
