I thought these security vulnerability updates only affected the performance on hyperthreaded cpu's so i7 and above? Or at least where it hit the hardest and killed the most performance.
I would really like to see a good review of a mid range build with stuff like the i5 and 3600 and an OS environment setup as it should be and would be if someone was using it.
So not only all the updates but all the sw that comes with a system preloaded (all that RGB gunk), a decent virus checker and malware scanner and stuff like steam,onedrive ect in the background.
Because its all well and good isolating the hardware and testing stuff independently but what is it going to be like in the real world under real world load - ya know like intel keeps harping on about...

I had a 4690K, it was fine with the 970 but as soon as i dropped the 1070 in with it a couple of my regular games went to #### with very high CPU load and an experience that was not smooth and a little laggy.
At 4K with everything maxedout, you can't see the input lag but you can see the micro stutter when the gun is loading. anything less that 4K the performance was so bad it was unplayable.
Didn't want to blow £300 on another 4 core CPU from Intel even if it did have hyper threading.
Then Ryzen came along, went right for the 1600 and never looked back.... still using the same now 3 year old motherboard i got with the 1600.
Pledged to this a long long time ago but my 680 (yes its been that long) really didn't run it well with its 2gb vram back then. Haven't been back to it since but you know what! gonna give this another whirl and see how the 6 cores and a 2080 will run it.It is Star Citizen, its incredibly well threaded, i've seen people with 3900X and all 24 threads evenly loaded, it needs a high thread count CPU's and a half decent GPU, and an SSD to run well, if / when i upgrade my GPU, probably in a few months, then i'll see how my 3600 holds up in it.
Hmmm, I just read that the new ones of these already have a hardware fix (instead of a software one), so the performance is hardily hit. So apologies for my poor infomation.
No apology needed at all mate, just clarifying information. Good to know the hardware fix doesn't impact it as much as the software did, seriously devalues these chips otherwise (more so than they already are against its competitor).
