while everyone else on the Internet is busy arguing which is better value for money between the x-48 60k and the G 32:58 Pentium I'm here to present to you guys some CPUs that'll beat both those little bad boys in price and performance ladies gentlemen welcome back to check yes City this is my used CPU guide for 2016 where I'm going to give you guys the recommendations on some of the best value for money CPUs that are out there for both gaming and workstation purposes so without further ado let's get on with the list 5 coming in at number 5 is the i3 550 you can currently get the CPU for around about $10 on eBay it's an absolute beast for that price it comes clocked in at 3.2 gigahertz it also has 4 threads and it supports the LGA 1156 motherboard socket so a lot of these boards can be had for very cheap the non overclockable ones even if you get them that's pretty good since the 3.2 gigahertz clock speed is good enough for most titles at 1080p for coming in at number 4 is the X 54 50 which is actually an LGA 771 CPU now you can get this CPU for around about 20 dollars though if you get it you will have to get a little pad which costs an extra dollar off eBay and then you will have to cut some things on your motherboard though with that said it is a fantastic value for money CPU and it is overclockable and it does have 4 true cores on there 3 coming in at number 3 is the X 50 650 now this was making rounds on the internet for being an extremely good value for money CPU and it still is it's a 6 core 12 threaded 32 nanometer beast which can be had for around about $85 now the caveat to this CPU is that the motherboards that support it are generally pretty expensive though if you do manage to pick up a bargain on an x58 motherboard and you do manage to get the CPU then you can overclock it to around 4 gigahertz and you can get both great performance in workstation purposes and gaming as well - coming in at number 2 is my personal favorite this is the e 50 640 Zeon 32 nanometer 4 core 8 threaded CPU now the good thing about this it's only $15 and it actually doesn't have an i7 variant though it will work on consumer x58 motherboards and the same caveat as the ex 5650 is that it will need an expensive generally quite expensive motherboard though that being said one benefit of this CPU is that it does have two less cos 4 or less threads and it's easier to overclock on that x58 board as opposed to the ex 5650 which generally needs a top-of-the-line board to get really high overclocks 1 now topping the list today is the e 20 670 this is the xeon sandy bridge chip the turbos up to three point three gigahertz now the CPU comes in at $70 at the moment that's what you can get these for and it has eight cores 16 threads that's right $70 for eight cause 16 threads you just cannot beat the price performance this thing brings to the table now one thing about this CPU is that it will need an expensive or generally an expensive x78 motherboard to work though me personally I've ordered two of these things and I've also ordered an asrock server board which I'm going to be doing a project for you guys in the near future though it's $70 this thing easily tops out just be sure that you get the retail samples of these and not the engineering samples as the engineering samples will only be able to top out at 2.6 gigahertz which if you generally want to be gaming and doing workstation kind of things you will want that extra CPU single-threaded speed to go up to three point three gigahertz which the retail samples do anyway that's it for me today guys if you have any questions or comments about these CPUs then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and be sure to plug that thumbs up button and I'll be coming back to you guys with another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
