Would you guys consider replacing a 5950x with a 5800x3d?

I'm not really seeing much in the way of gains on userbenchmark but I know little about the site and its' reliability:


Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Unless you're chasing an extra 10-20% boost in fps (and that's only if you're playing at settings that are CPU bound instead of GPU bound), it's not worth it. Spending money on anything right now is a bad idea and the 5950x is a perfectly fine CPU that's still better than like 90% of the shit that's currently in service.

Also AM4 X3D is a bit of a meme in general at this point - even a 7500f is about even with a 5800X3D in terms gaming, and pretty much every 'real' AM5 CPU is unambiguously better than AM4 X3D. I'd just save the money since what you have works now and invest it in a future build.

Actually speaking of stupid x3d questions, do x3d CPUs even work on Windows 10 iot? I know a lot of us are running that version of windows 10 and x3d compatibility is the only thing which gives me pause looking at a 9950x3d.

Larger L3 cache makes no difference to thread scheduling, You only need Win11 over 10 if you're running one of the architectures with different core types (i.e. Intel CPU with P+E cores), or multiple CCDs (AMD 7950X).
 
Idk if its topical but my Lenovo LOQ which is a year old is starting to have battery issues. The charging speed is slow and sometimes it doesnt charge even when plugged in. During those occasions when its not charging while plugged in, the applications start to slow down with the GPU usage spiking to 100%. Idk what I should do, my battery stats dont seem good, Ive consumed 951 charge cycles and have a 48.13MWh capacity currently (out of 60MWh original capacity). How to fix the fuck up?

951 charge cycles? You're charging it 3 times a day?

Roughly, one charge lasts about an hour and a half and now Im wondering if I shouldve left it plugged in to reduce the charge cycles.

Sounds like malware. Like somebody's hijacking your machine to mine bitcoin.

How would I be able to identify that, I thought its an issue with the battery or bios cause it happens infrequently and irregularly.

The applications slow down only while plugged in and not charging, those two have to happen simultaneously. Otherwise they run fine.

Edit: The Internet says its probably due to the charger and that the laptop is throttling the power input. Idk if its right.

there's so much retarded fudd advice about batteries and devices that come from people chinese telephoning weird advice from the dark pre-lithium days . like how you shouldn't keep them plugged in at 100% the time or they'll damage the phone, or how you should only charge them when they're at low battery to minimize charge cycles. ive seen people vehemently defend limiting their phone's max capacity to 80% for battery health. uhhh sure

the only two things that matter are using it less and keeping the temperature low. they degrade more with extreme use but they just degrade with use.

on laptops it's via OS, right? on phones i have absolutely no idea how to turn it off and it makes the phones fucking burn, which obviously is bad for the batteries, i got hit with the terminal phase of battery draining/minute while with the screen off, were my phone not so old i'd arse myself to change it...
 
You know the way men over forty talk about how "manly" it is to drive their muscle car with a V8 carbureted engine and manual transmission on the highway and that anything else just wouldn't be a "real" car?

That's probably how I look for not just out of comfort but principle at this point preferring to use a desktop with its big screen and replaceable parts that almost exclusively runs free and open source software instead of using a horrid tablet and relying on cloud storage or SaaS like most people

The driveby Apple trolls respected posters in this thread who have M-Series Macbooks paired with a Linux/BSD NAS are EV owners in this comparison
 
i think people who grew up with old enough computers see them as tools that you make more powerful with addons, instead of the power of the computer being in software and how hard you can push the silicon.

amiga boomers got totally one shotted by those magnetic keyboard laptop covers for ipads. these are the people who do their 'work' on their ipad and play war thunder on a prebuilt gaming pc. they're cretins

Did you guys have anyone in particular in mind when you wrote this?

For modern phones at least it doesn't seem to make a significant difference:

I should've mentioned that I only use Google Pixels, and those have had issues with their batteries from 6th to 10th gen, so I don't fast-charge them. The batteries get warm enough even at 5W charging.
