Isn't a triple core processor a quad-core with one of them locked?

amd had a thing where when a 4core would come off the line and had a failed core (its common, like 20% possible)
they sell it as 3core.

its not necessarily a bad thing if it falls in line with the product line and prices. they cant really recycle em.

Yeah. AMD sells the defective ones with the bad core locked. They could also be fine AMD just locked to keep them in stock.



OP your PC is garbage.

Cowfeces. My old computer (HP touch smart 310 something something) couldn't even run minimum shaders with a decent FPS unless I set everything else to the lowest possible setting.
