Native gaming isn't particularly cpu-bound these days. I wish I could take the overall performance of a 3700 and divide it between four cores instead of eight.

- mywittyname 6y agoThat same review has an overclocked i5-9600K vs a stock one and the performance difference is pretty large. An i5-9600K @ 5.0 is almost as significant of an improvement over a stock one as a stock i5-9600K is over the lowest performing CPU of the bunch.
- Causality1 6y agoWhat percentage of 9600Ks can hit that OC and keep stable under load?
- blattimwind 6y ago~90 %

CPUs were good enough but apparently this architecture was hard to utilize fully (and had other issues, e.g. with IPC).
