No, it's just hilarious back then, when they were fighting over i5 & i7 like a crazy over and over again til this year they finally stopped talking about quad core vs multithread, thanks to popular game PUBG.

Right now, the craze argument started new topic.

"Core i5-8600K/Ryzen 5 1600X is a sweet spot, it's all you need for gaming!"

-2017

It was true back then, because HT doesn't always help in games, and it will be true again with the 8600K & 1600X because both will offer the best of both worlds: high frequencies for gaming (at least when OC) and more cores for background tasks.

Nah, JEMC. You don't have to knowledge, i'm just have feeling weird because of time has changed. Ironically, i have second PC for gaming which is Ryzen 5 1600 being equiped lol
