          The i3 12100 is an incredible processor dude, pair it with a rtx 3060/rx6600xt and you can max out everything at 1080p quite easy. Super cheap and runs on even the most potato of power supplies.

        moron. The 5800X3D is fricking insane and its not even 1st gen 3D Vcache. For example if you play WoW and go into extremely crowded WvW battles instead of getting 10-20fps you go into the 60-90. In Guild Wars 2 during world bosses I went from 15fps to 80. This shit is on a whole other level and any CPU that doesn't have it is legacy tech at this point.

          It's only good in certain situations. In some games the regular 5800x will out preform it. Then look at 12th gen intel which has 25% increase in single thread which is which most games still use and 13th gen expected to be another 25% increase. A 12600k will come close in gaming and destroy in any in any other senerio at a lower price. You are also not stuck on a end of life socket.

            Yes but the 3D Cache guarantees that any game you play will be super smooth no matter how much of a clusterfrick it gets. Even in Cyberpunk it feels really good knowing you can increase the population density even with mods and have no fear of losing FPS whereas regular CPU's will start dipping under 30's.

          sent too early, but yeah it's no surprise that 12th gen chips beat 5000 series ryzen CPUs. I'm not feeling very confident that Intel will maintain that performance lead once AMD releases their 7000 series chips, although I do expect Intel to be the most efficient.

              RAM is more than just speeds. Latency is a factor as well. You need a good balance.
              Currently DDR5 is faster but much higher latency and cancles itself out in a lot of situations depending on how the game behaves.
              DDR5 is first generation so I would wait on that one.
              Also runs quite hot.

                I am saying 12th is pretty good WITH DDR5. Without, eh, more incremental baby steps. So overall not enough meat to it, AMD will continue beating us. 13th looks nice, but I'm far from it. I'm right next to 14th and it's monstrous - really good (though by then AMD could pull a rabbit). 15th I have no data. 16th is under my nose and does not smell good right now. There's time to right the ship, but many details worry me anyway.

                Big tard over here. They're trying to educate you. "Smaller node" as measured by what feature, gate length? Does that account for 3D stacking? Which process results in higher density is not "which one has the smaller number" and even if it *we're* that'll only tell you which is better if all else is equal. A chip with 2x the transistors but slightly higher density will run circles around the "smaller therefore better" one in every measure but power draw. There are way more factors that go into performance than ANY single number would let you predict.

    What correlates 100% with emulating anything is single thread performance.
    Aka thread mark in my pic.
    I'll upgrade as well but I'll go with AMD 7000 series on a cheap am5 board and cpu I'll buy a more expensive one towards the end of the generation.
    I'm upgrading from an 4770k so that's massive for me.

    Can someone rate my setup? Good for another three years? What should I upgrade in order of importance/ more bang for my buck.

    RTX 2060 GAMING Z 6G 6GB 192-Bit

    AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-Core 3.6 GHz

    G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)

      I wouldn't waste money right now.
      Wait until generational leaps, meteor lake maybe and the AMD responses. But even that might not be worth it for you.

      3600 will be good for a while. Your next upgrade should be gpu when something stops running well for you.

    just buy a 1600x and spend the rest on a gpu anon. I honestly wouldn't even buy anything above a 2600x at this point.
    As for gpu i would recomment a 750ti.

    11th GEN intel is a fricking scam, just stick with AMD since you have no clue wtf you are buying.

          Okay? I prefer more performance.. Can't get that if my CPU is cucked by how much power it can draw.

            Except... you know... both 12th gen and Ryzen 5000 perform better with less power draw...

              Why are you talking about 11th gen? It's a forgetable generation.

    I was emulating DeS years ago on my 4590 before the emulator even had its performance breakthrough.

      Sell it and buy the part you can actually use if your pc can't handle powering or cooling that.

        Yeah, but sure go make moronic decisions and take less performance because you don't know how to run a computer.
