I previously had an AMD FX 6350 6 core based system. I have now built a new rig based around the i5 7600K (thanks to the kind folks at the Tom's Hardware Forum). My main question is why am I noticing slightly less performance out of the 7600k in average day to day tasks such as: file explorer, internet, media loading, etc... just generic tasks. Don't get me wrong, this CPU slays in the game department but it just doesn't seem THAT much better than the FX 6350 I bought 5 years ago. Granted, I may not have pushed it enough yet..
