    You said that buying a CPU like mine, with a slightly smaller cache, was a bad idea specifically for gaming.

    For the same reason buying a Camaro to sit in traffic would be a bad idea…

    You have one, and it’s going to be fine for gaming.

    But for someone who has yet to buy one, they could pay less and get better gaming performance from an x3d.

    If it still doesn’t make sense, I’d advise asking someone else

      Literally just asking you to explain your own claim of “cache makes a huge difference for gaming,” and instead you walk that back, pretend like I said anywhere that ALL I do with it is game, and get sassy on top of that. Smdh

        Caches in this case is all about data lookup. Consistently used data/instructions will be stored on the cache and being able to read from it means not needing to read from slower storage (in this case, it would be your ram). The x3d has a larger cache, letting your cpu store more and thus do quicker lookups, but in most games, this only nets you marginal benefits. Modern cpus are not the bottleneck for games anymore.

        No, I said no one should buy this for gaming…

        No one should buy this for gaming…

        You’ve misunderstood everything I said, and now you’re taking an attitude because you don’t know what’s happening. Which honestly is a very normal reaction, it’s just the threshold that’s surprising.

        Me explaining anything to you is just going to be frustrating on both sides, so I’ll take the easy step to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
