Sandy Bridge vs FX 8370 vs Zen 2

[humbug]

Good review about how well Intel's and AMD old 2012 CPU's do compared to something affordable from today, like the Ryzen 3300X and 3600.

If you're still on Sandy Bridge its not pretty, if you're still on AMD's Bulldozer architecture its so bad its not even funny.

If you're on any of these two older CPU's and are asking is it worth upgrading?

Well this is the most extreme example but the rest doesn't look much better.

Yeah.....

The old Xeon hex cores for a tenner still doing a decent job in sottr though.

It does ok heavily overclocked, what annoys me about him, his channel is how upbeat and chirpy he is about pretending $200 for a 12 year old used platform is a viable alternative to a much more modern platform for about or little more money...

X58 with a Xeon X5860 5 or 6 years ago was a great buy, if you could find a reasonable priced motherboard for it, even back then while the X5860 was $60 used a half decent 5 year old used Motherboard was £150+

Today people harping on about "Get an X5860 its great" IMO are delusional, while yes more capable than a 2600K its still significantly slower than a cheap modern CPU, the motherboards are still expensive, they are even older now, most of us don't have cars as old as these boards are now...

This guy thinks of himself as a bargain guru, its his channel theme and "get a used 8400 or Ryzen 5" just isn't as 'seemingly' clever or original and of course this guy has to come from the left field to tell you something no one else is.................................. because like Sandy Bridge its time to consign the X5860 to history, as boring as it may be there are better options now for the same money, stop filling people who don't know any better full of crap.
