Best starter CPU?

[don_svetlio]

that s3ns3 guy already bought one and is now trying to make others buy it too

He's trying to justify his purchase as he doesn't want to feel as if he bought a crappy OC toy. Kindergarten mentality.

Benchmark doesnt show the minimums... benchmark is useless and way too scarce in details.

 

we already know that the pentium will have higher FPS due to higher IPC (more drawcalls). However its minimums is another story. The whole review doesnt talk of minimums even once. The whole argument of the Athlon is that it has better minimums. Without showing that, you cannot show its "true power"...

 

THe G3258 will have higher maximums, but if you have lower minumums then your average goes down fast.

The Athlon has lower maximums, but higher minimums, so averages is more "average"....

 

 

without minimums, this whole test is useless. The devils in the fucking details. Show me REAL DETAILED BENCHMARKS, OR GET LOST.

 

A QUAD CORE IS THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD EVER BUY FOR FOR GAMING IN THE YEAR 2015.

wth is wrong with you ? you know how you calculate the average FPS? its better for gaming and it has an upgrade path.you just refuse to admit it.

 

also you should know from me if you don`t already but the athlon is not a quad core.and its weaker than the pentium.and its the max you can buy on fm2 socket.

Minimum FPS. And I've done the comparisons with my Core 2 Duo E8500 at 4.5GHz-aka single core performance matching that of my i5 4440-to my Xeon X5450 while using my GTX 970 as the graphics card. Crysis 3 was a stuttering mess at ultra settings with the Core 2 Duo, while with the X5450 gameplay was butter smooth. And the Core 2 Duo had a higher average and maximum FPS.
