That's what I'm looking for daily. Sure, I'm in the minority, but I like it this way. It makes shopping so much FUN, find every PC parts at lowest price, but offer the highest performance speed to the best of my ability. And finding the right manufactured dates too.
I plan to have a main...
You're right... I thought it could be the CAS timing difference going from faster DDR3 to slower DDR4, one of the possibilities I experienced before several times, and that's why I posted here.
And price to performance ratio matters too....
I mistakenly bought a Lenovo i5-9400 desktop for $700, but decided to return it after learning a used a Sandy Bridge PC can be upgraded to i7 with faster DDR3 RAM CAS timing than DDR4, plus SSD and everything, for less than $100 total. Best...
Thank you for providing this info. It seems there are not many Intel processors that support DDR4 2666 CAS 16 at this moment. I'm using Skylake and Kaby Lake that only reads DDR4 2400 max, but they end up slower than Sandy Bridge DDR3 1333 CAS 8. I pretty much give up and surrender, and I'm now...
If comparing dual-core from same era, a Pentium G2020 worth less than AMD's slower A4-6300. After about 10 years, Intel Core 2 Duo worth less than AMD Ahtlon X2 by 1.5 to 1 ratio.
OP, your change of CPU performance is going to be in the memory RAMs themselves, due to dramatic increase of CAS # going from DDR3 to DDR4, not the processor itself.
The only way to fix this is if you switch to Kaby Lake processor with Z170 motherboard that supports DDR3 RAM only, with fastest...
I have ASRock B450 Pro 4 (I also have B350 Pro 4 just in case), and I'm trying to get it to run A8-9600, despite it is not shown on CPU support.

How do I do it, or is the list wrong?
A12-9800 is already going for less than $39 shipped on eBay. Is it possible to run Bristol Ridge with B450 chipset, and any way to enable it? Sounds ridiculous.
I still have my Phenom II X2 570 that can be overclocked up to 4.3 GHz max at 1.53V. I plan to upgrade to FX-4300 when prices (depreciate) to less than $10 shipped.
I'm continuing to have great difficulty understanding between Athlon 200GE vs. A8-9600. Both received almost identical benchmark score, but A8-9600 has slightly faster graphics than Athlon 200GE.
It's basically Excavator (Bulldozer) vs. Ryzen (Zen) cores. What does Excavator excel at that Ryzen...
Demand for laptops has declined significantly because everyone has one now, or they're moving on to tablets next. I remember back in 2006 when laptops were always sold-out over 50% of the time, and Black Friday 2007 was the craziest. $189.99 Toshiba Celeron 450 15" laptop with free Canon...
