It will help - as I said, browsing is CPU demanding. Just look at what happens to all my threads with simple 1 tab YouTube opening.
DID you guys miss this post of mine
More rubbish. You are probably talking about a crappy underclocked laptop again with a slow ass hdd. You honestly have no common sense man. Also there is actually a big difference between c2d and sandy. Stop comparing desktop with laptops...But i7-8700K is a mid-range processor, while the Ryzen 9 3900X is a high-end one. That's 100% performance upgrade.
I don't believe you. I had had a Core 2 Duo and in YouTube and Facebook it was nightmare, lagfest and waiting forever to load the pages.
Either this or simply each thumbnail takes its own thread, the load is divided among all the threads. It doesn't make any sense to use ONE core for the whole load. It won't load soon
I'd at least change the CPU to a 3950X minimum, go big or go home
Surely, it has to be something more akin to the tech that the aliens used to build the pyramids. That's where the true upgrade is.
A high-end CPU is better than a mid-range CPU for about everything one throws at it.
I need. It's quite cheap, actually, when you consider that the OP has DDR4 memory already that can be reused, and can get some money from selling the old CPU and board.
If these new parts are only 630 pounds minus the cost of the old parts which need to be replaced.

Chrome is using over 100% CPU

In my experience, the lagfest and waiting forever is almost certainly because you ran out of RAM and your disk is thrashing, Chrome can eat 4GB memory in like... 3 tabs, it munches RAM at an insane rate, especially if you look at the kind of pages that have a dozen video adverts each. I used to regularly have 200+ tabs on a quad core and CPU usage was usually below 30% (though yeah, there are some ****** pages with scripts and other junk which can bug it out). It's best with Chrome to close it and re-open the tabs (you can back them up in the Chrome folder, there's a couple of files) because then it won't load them until you open them. Edge seems to have superior sleep behaviour and memory management to Chrome, don't know about Firefox. A 3900X and 64GB memory would mean that managing the tabs and buggy windows is less necessary, but I'd rather just be less lazyBut i7-8700K is a mid-range processor, while the Ryzen 9 3900X is a high-end one.

I rather stick with intel as I have always suffered from bad experiences with AMD/ATI stuffA high-end CPU is better than a mid-range CPU for about everything one throws at it.

The upgrade path would be no different if I went with Intel or AMD
