So I currently upgraded my graphics card to a RX-480 (8gb vram 1388 clock) so I can play some newer generation games, and I'm witnessing a serious CPU bottleneck similar to a video comparison illustrated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ORecRaj8gY (by the way I have a very similar CPU to the video's) -> X4 II 955 3.2GHz 8mb cache
So naturally I check for upgrades but one thing that baffles me is that a lot of the newer gen CPU's have similar or really close specs (Number of Cores, Core Clock and Memory Cache) with mine, so my question is if someone can explain to me in what way are these newer CPU's better.
So you know I don't argue that they aren't, I just want to know the technical details, so please be as thorough as you can with them so I can understand.
Thank you for your time in advance!!!
