Solitaire and Minesweeper…. must be close to 10000+ FPS.

Cs 2 and minecraft and starcraft and wow are the world's most popular games, they're not lying
- 5

That's pretty outdated… Minecraft is still up there but Roblox, Valorant, League and Fortnite are all significantly more popular than CS2, WoW and Starcraft…

Which are also all pretty CPU constrained for FPS too right?
And WoW has many more concurrent monthly players than Valorant.

@CharlieAus: Correct, I understand your point.
Where are you get that? While WoW's numbers are really good for a subscription game, that's simply not true, do a quick search.

Considering Minecraft is probably the worlds most popular game, it's not too misleading ;-)

Came here to say the same. FPS is the absolute least relevant thing they could have used to sell this thing. Yes if you have a celeron 200 with a 5090ti you'll have low FPS but for most modern gen CPUs, its 95% on the GPU

lol don’t quote me on that. Copy and pasted from amazon.

This is partially true. Cpu plays a massive part in FPS. If you are trying to achieve 144Hz, 240Hz, or higher, you need a very fast CPU to prepare those frames, regardless of your GPU. Also helps with 1% lows and stutters.

I was gonna say the same, it's like marketing a spark plug saying "pure ICE performance with speeds of up to 300km/h on major roads"
- 0

By that logic they also need to add that it must be paired with a monitor that supports that lol

League of legends maybe.

this or 7800x3d
- 0

Depends on your budget. 10-20 fps gain with the 7800x3d with about the same gains on 1% lows. This is a great budget build cpu if you are price conscious.
- 0

You'll only get those gains (or any gains) if you are CPU limited.
Most people wouldn't be with a CPU like this.

Do you wanna spent $240 or $514

Could get 7800x3d for $350 on Ali express when on sale

7500f from aliexpress

7800X3D is also AM5. I think you mean 5700X3D or 5500X3D /5800X3D for AM4.

lol.

Use the money saved from buying this rather than X3D version towards more to GPU, generally speaking especially for single player game
- 0

hoping for 5950x < $400.
- 0

It was down at $230 yesterday, I managed to get one more as a spare. It wouldn't let me buy 2!
Get'm while their as cheap as chips! XD- 0

If this chip is as "cheap as chips", how cheap is a chip?
- -1

Was a temping upgrade from AM4 but once I factored in ridiculous DDR5 prices and a decent mobo I’ll just keep saving for Zen 6.

I know this is direct from the Amazon listing but "Pure gaming performance with smooth 100+ FPS in the world's most popular games" is very misleading. This CPU needs to be paired with a GPU and that has much more influence on frame rate. There's not even an asterix to say in what games or resolutions.
