IIRC I had an fx 6100 than upgraded to 6300 and the last one was 8350 or something like that. It was awfully cheap, and they used the same socket, so I didn’t have to replace anything beside the cpu. I did a lot of cpu rendering, ray tracing for uni at that time, in 3ds max and vray, gpu ray tracing was very limited before geforce rtx. They were relatively good in that for the price, ray tracing could use all small cores.

I sold a Phenom IIx4 Black Edition to buy an 8320.

I was so stupid.

Thank goodness my Athlon 64 FX-60 didn’t make his list…
