The number stands for how many years before your computer gets so sluggish it is barely usable

Finally, a follow up to that almost decade old video

Now give us an AMD one please

[Game-BeatX]

It's crazy how quad-core CPUs used to be high-end, but now that's like the minimum standard for new PCs.

[changeme]

A video explaining the naming schemes for both Intel and AMD would be great

[AJD...]

My first CPU was core 2 duo. Aah the poor old days when I gushed over having 2 cores in my CPU.

[tool]

pls do AMD cpu and gpu. Now that they are to be taken seriously, I would love to know how they fit in and related to the intel analogies.

Would be nice if you could redo some more of those old Techquickie videos. There are a lot of them and they serve as a good short explanation of all kinds of topics, but unfortunately they are outdated by like 8 years.

[ironeleven]

It's incredible how rapidly competition has made features that were once locked to high-end parts (boosting, hyperthreading, XMP) work their way down the stack over the past couple years.

[jumpierwolf]

You guys should do a new video on LCD panel types. A lot has changed since then

[JoeMama-jfzd]

I'm glad this video finally got an update!

[deesul]

How about an explanation of cache size impact within the different series. also how does the cpu know which action on which core to do first and which to be displayed first or last? And how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

[hnwcfyy]

Wow, I was just thinking last night that Techquickie should really be updating their old videos from 5-10+ years ago. Updated info for us, easy money for them.

[bernardo]

Can you guys please make a video explaining the generations? I've heard it's more important than if they are an i3, i5, i7 or i9.

[adnanerochdi]

Finally an update to the i7 episode! Man I was excited for this since i9's release. Just out of curiosity.

[jakubSwaps]

I'm not sure why you guys were so specific with the current specs of the different tiers but it'll definitely mean this video won't age nearly as well as the original. I really feel like you should have focused on the more general differences.

[MonkeySimius]

I actually learned something from this. The whole i9/i7 Power Ranger Mode thingy that optimizes the workload to the most available core. I like it. Clearly I don't understand it. But hey, sounds good to me.

[GuillaumeLT]

I use 3DsMax and a lot of opeations/function use only 1 core, but of course when rendering it use all of the core. Is there a dual cpu motherboard out there that can take to different CPUs. 1 powerfull but single thread and 1with lower ghz but with lot of multithread ? So I can have the best of the both world.

[Kilraeus]

Could you do a video on Foveated rendering and other GPU efficiency methods. With foveated or other eye tracking would be interesting to see what considerations are taken for people with a lazy eye or other physical differences

[AI-Idiot]

It's been like 8 years since the last one, finally a follow up! :)

[MMKnight_]

Finally! This was really needed. Well done!
