My current system has an i7-3770 @3.40GHz and 4 Cores, 8 logical processors (threads?) and I often max it out.
Is that because it is a Gen 3 (Ivy Bridge?) and that I need to move much further into the modern world?
Given that the Motherboard has an LGA1155 socket I assume that I need to change it to be able to select a newer Gen Intel, or indeed for an AMD?
The graphics card is a GTX 1650 so that ought to be ok.
The PC has 16GB RAM, though the RAM is DDR3 and probably running at some pitiful speed, so I'm thinking the Motherboard, CPU and RAM were quite good but now are just old-tech.
Is there a Gen you would recommend I move to, given that I'll be changing anyway and assuming that I go Intel? Or at least a minimum Gen?
Still, at least I understand considerably more about CPUs now, so thanks for that.
Now to go study Motherboards. Sigh.
I do appreciate your time. Thank you.
