If you are an average user, you only need to remember: buy the 3600.
- wincy 7y agoHeck even if you’re building a gaming PC the 3600 is fine. I bought a 2080ti for 4k gaming, then looked at the 3600-3900x as options and realized I’d get negligible benefits from more cores. So my $1200 video card is paired with the CPU I got on sale for $150.
- dr_zoidberg 7y agoTe 3600 is also the one that has the highest L3 cache per thread. Despite that being "non uniform", that's still a big fat cache that helps a lot with performance. Waiting for Zen 3 to bring unified L3 back into the table!
- smabie 7y agoIs that a possibility? Also, with a NUMA aware OS what kind of performance increases would one likely see on a UMA cpu vs a NUMA one?
- dr_zoidberg 7y agoI think Windows and Linux both have NUMA capabilities in their kernel. Long story short, you don't have to think too much -- get one of these and try it yourself.
