Four cores in 2020? Is this a joke? /s

If they made a dual socket AM4 board that 3100 would damn-near be a core-to-core, ghz-to-ghz upgrade from my current system. It boosts a tiny bit faster.

I'm interested to see how that 3300X pairs with a 580. High-end cheap shit is my shit...and I need something new so I can STFU in AVX+ articles

Why not? If it's properly priced it will find it's customers. There are still countries where even cpus like Ryzen 3600 are too expensive.

Pretty funny how what was considered top of the line in consumer processing (4 core / 8 threads) 5 years ago is now the lowest-end skew. Really goes to show how stagnant Intel got with their market dominance.

four cores is more than enought for gaming and most of people. only some pros need more for rendering or some really heavy and multi threat jobs

Exactly. One of those and four hundred more dollars can potentially make a 1080p60 gaming system that is somewhere between a PS4 and PS5 in graphics quality.

Yep. Yep. Yep. While I'd want a better CPU for myself, either of these would be perfect to make a Steam Machine for my Dad who has only ever been into console gaming.

There's a market for these. It just isn't people like us since people like us tend to do stuff. These are for people like my Dad who I'd like to build a budget gaming system for or for some of the old people I help maintain their older, aging office PCs.

Why not? Contrary to popular belief, they are fine for most needs and will continue to be for at least the next 5-10 years. Most software still does not need more than 4 cores, even most games.

I have been eyeing a Ryzen 3600 to replace my FX but now that 4core parts are released, plus cheap mobos, i might get the 3.8ghz 4core instead.

The i7-7700K makes that 3 years.
