They still want $215 for an I5-2500K
They must be crazy
I built a box a year ago and paid $220
I can't drive to whatever that place is that has 5 or 6 locations in the whole country that sells them for half off... but I would love to be able to remember the name of it because I think I have a lady friend close to one of their centers... Anyone remember what it is? I think I may have posted it (or found it) on here last year sometime.....
Anyway. I can't stand this A10-5800K. I knew it might be slower than my old I5 but this is ridiculous. AMD my balls.
My biggest problem is single threaded apps/processes taking fucking FOREVER. I don't need 20 cores.... 2 or 4 is fine.. but as far as I can see my only option for a little more performance is to pay a-lot more for an I7 for a 10% performance increase over my old I5. Sigh.
I need to at least be where I was with the I5
To be sure I understand- if I go for a HT cpu, single core apps will get even worse because they'll only be able to use 12.5% of the total processing power. Is that correct? HT would be great to half in a-lot of ways if it were not for that!!
Does AMD not sell anything with the balls of an I5/I7??? I mean to say, what, you can sell me an 8 core cpu that's not a "true" 8 cores and you can't sell me something that can clock work as fast as an intel.. at all?
Sigh
