  • i7-3770 is x4 cores from 2012. The 9950X3D2 has x16 cores. So you would expect somewhere around x4 improvement by default (give or take). Then there is nearly 14 years of architecture improvements.

    If anything the differentials from passmark suggest that we’ve only had about 94% improvement in ST scores (if we assume your i7-3770 would have a 36,000 MT score if it had x16 cores).

    That honestly seems low. I was actually using a i7-4703MQ laptop CPU until early 2025 and even benchmarks style use cases (opening Firefox) felt much more than X2 times slower than my 5800X desktop CPU.

    And that’s low touch use cases. Complex single thread dependent strategy games were a massive challenge being the early game (even older ones from 12-15 years ago).















  • This is some of the most pretentious, ostentatious posturing I’ve read on this topic.

    You really think people can’t see through this?

    You don’t see the irony in doing the “sophomoric debate club” thing while calling those that disagree with you “Kids”.

    “Dangerous trends”, “base of intolerance” or the pompous drivel about “grow my ideas and enforce and dispute them” are almost comical in their tone.

    The world doesn’t work that way. This is a motherfucking internet forum.

    Or is this a satire of American style polemics and I got played? 🤣

    If it’s satire, then good job!
