I am surprised people still have quad-cores.... Honestly cannot remember in recent history using a quaddy.
Even my $800 AUD notebook has a 6-core CPU... And my phone has an 8-core chip.

Been using a 6-core or better CPU since 2010 starting with the Phenom 2 x6 1090T.

How do they handle in modern games and software?

Games like Witcher 3, old Metro games work fine for me, but games like GTA V/Ubisoft games, not so much at 1440p (though tbf, Ubisoft are hardly PC first publisher, same with R*).

Mine's OC'd to around 4.5ghz, though I could be cheeky and just crank it to 5, but I don't really feel like shortening it's lifespan just yet (despite be having a spare duplicate in another room that's yet to be opened).

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
