Not bad for a £1 CPU...

Ғылым және технология

I recently picked up super-cheap CPU from a local CEX and even though it's a few years old, I couldn't resist for the price. At just £1 ($1.20) this processor is worth all 100 pennies.

    you can. you can upgrade the memory and the hdd - done this far too often!! my next personal memory upgrade will be my ailing vista laptop. it's 17 years old and it does what I ask of it. laptops that I acquire that lack a hdd get a hdd and a memory upgrade. then I install whichever flavour of linux best suits it. got ubuntu studio running on an old HP laptop purely because the soundcard on it is a good one and I can install cakewalk/lmms on it with no issue. the main cause for a lot of laptops getting disposed of, is because the mobo battery died (not the big bulky battery on the back of it, the small flat battery inside). there is no such thing as 'can't'. oh - and my asus all-in-one PC defo needs more ram - now that's the challenge!! (but once done, it'll be easy to do on the next one). my hobby? fixing computers. I don't usually make a song and dance about it because I don't have to. I also help people with their tech and guide them on how to use it. macs included! I love recent old tech. writing this on a 7 year old w10 craptop with a bust keyboard and other things on it starting to crap out - and I'll use it until the day it dies. and then I'll restore it. @@tatemushroom1002

She doesn't play the latest AAA single player games. But rather party games, older titles, indies and emulation. Games like, Tetris Effect, Overcooked 2, Gang Beasts, Huntdown, Stardew Valley, The Sims 4, Dirt3 (oh yeah, remember when racing games still had split screen, good times)... Even 10 year old hardware is plenty these days. And I think we will keep the computer for many years to come (just need to switch to Linux)

    I am always impressed by Haswell. Lesser chips struggle where Haswell pulls through. It has AVX 2 and it a great starting point for any PC Gamer that wants to explore the back catalog of games. I am not a huge fan of the i3s do to lack of power, but all of the i5s and i7s are just fabulous entry level CPUs for people that want to get their feet wet but don't know if it's something they want to spend a fortune on yet. Also great for kids that already like the soft titles like Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Terraria and their ilk. Games like Skyrim and GTA V run great when you pair one of the aforementioned processors with an inexpensive GPU, like the $60 1070 in this video or a $40 RX 580 8GB. And now you have a great experience at 1080p High or even 4K Low. There is still life left in the chips themselves so I find it sad that one has to mod one's bios or disable features to get Win 11 to run but Win 10 is still here for a couple of years.and is a smoother experience that was designed for that hardware anyway. Then you also have Linux. Yes, these chips still have some life in them for just the right situations and games.

    Its crazy how much cpu and gpu power you can get for next to nothing (and at times literally nothing) nowadays. I know vs modern gear this sort of gear is archaic, but that doesnt stop it being capable of playing decades worth of games very well, even if you put in a weaker/cheaper gpu there's still more fun to be had than a person could utilise in their lifetimes, albeit having to be selective with newer titles. It's also just so much fun trying to put together machines as cheaply as possible. Ive had that bug for a while and its taking over my house :) Have an i9-13900k/64GB/6TB nvme.m2 storage (4TBxgen4, 2TBxgen3)/rtx 4080 system as a main rig, and still have the r9 5900x/48GB/rtx 3080 system that I used before that and the r9 3950x/32GB/2080 super I used before that, so its not like I dont have other options, but I think I probably get more fun from playing with whatever Ive been able to put together very cheap that day/week. Definitely less fun for modern usage, but overall it's an absolute blast :)

People were theorizing it's from the buildup of decals like blood and bullet holes, which is worsened by the fact that they removed the command r_cleardecals.

    On this CPU, there won't be any problems running Linux. Sandy Bridge of 2011 and newer all run Linux well. I'm not 100% sure about the generation prior, but I'm thinking it too should be okay. It's not until you go back to the Core 2 Duo / Quad era that Linux starts to struggle with video playback due to graphics drivers. The desktop versions might be able to brute force compute fast enough to make up for hardware acceleration, but the laptops definitely can't. If you have a well-supported GPU. I'm not sure how well anything before that supports 64 bit (a lot of major distributions dropped 32 bit support). You'll also start to become more limited by which instructions the CPU supports. Basically, the comparison between Windows and Linux isn't useful because if you pick Linux favorable hardware (namely supported GPU for video playback), older systems do fine with Linux up to the age that they don't, at which point they also aren't going to have a good time in Windows.

    The best dual core would probably the one with the highest click and IPC. So a new-ish chip that can boost high. So I would argue the G7400 is a good contender, but the G6605 is also in the race. A bit older, but clocks higher.

    @@olnnn hm, the i5-1345U could be in the race. raptor lake cores, boost up to 4.7 GHz and 55 w boost tdp. but that is also a hybrid chip with 8 e-cores. besides that the i5-8310Y, but that is limited to 7W and a max boost of 3.9 and the i3-1115G4, with a boost of 4.1 and max 28W With these mobile chips power consumption is usually the limiting factor. And they're soldered into Notebooks, not easy to test them with dedicated GPUs and against other chips on the same platform.

    @@HappyBeezerStudios Yeah I doubt the mobile dual cores are able to match the G7400, they'll be way too limited by power already and are usually limited to only run at max boost for a very short time even then, and an older generation. Was more as a note if one wanted to cover the "history" of 2-core/4-thread and one of the later places where the saw some use.

    I had picked up a i7-4790 paired with an OEM motherboard to build my youngest brother a gaming PC about 3 years ago now. I required making a custom cable to connect the motherboard to the case buttons. And also had to bridge a couple of pins so it would think the original case was closed. Paired it with gtx 750 ti at the time. I think it is time to upgrade his GPU to a rx 580 8gb.

    Counter Strike 2 also is more optimized in 5v5 than in Deathmatch/Casual. So if you can get a solid 60 in non 5v5, it will do even better in 5v5 which is the primary mode anyways.

    Impressive. What a steal. I'd have maybe paired it with whatever you could find that's also ridiculously cheap but not actually crap. Like maybe a 2nd hand 1050ti, or 550, 570, 580. Maybe a 1630, 1650, 6400, 6500. I know for a fact there are cheapo GPUs for like 5-15 EUR, (or GBP in your case) you can find all around. In desperate need you could always buy a new one, in which case I'd go for either a 550/560, maybe 570 8GB if you can get it for under a 100, or an A380 or a 6000 series AMD card, if considering Nvidia, since the cheapest "new" Nvidia card is either a video-out or something like a 1630 which is incredibly overpriced for what it is here at 170-180 EUR. Please do more with this, it's amazing to see. I've great hopes for future Ultra supreme super extreme mega budget gamers. :D

    I guess finding a fitting GPU is the next step for the "building a PC as cheap as possible" task. And used cards would be the best option. A used 1050 or even 1030 or something in that range. But I would avoid the 6400 with it's 4 PCIe lanes.
