Hahaha, thanks. 1st two are literally desaturate + zoom blur. 3rd one is bumped saturation + lens flare.
To my mild surprise GIMP does effects on 1 thread…

Yey! Mom, look, I finally won something!
#metoo Will do same small non-scientific benches I did on i5 to see get the feeling for it. Will post the results here.
So ehm… They’re seem like almost parity. I expected bit more from SMT I guess. And it seems in graphics it’s even bit worse. Need more games to test. (I don’t play a lot nowadays) It does feel more responsive (on Linux at least) when multitasking. (simulated rendering stuff in blender, watching anime and browsing interwebs)
TL:DR;
Shitty benches

Well, I have another LGA 1155 MB that currently house an i3 with really shitty cooling solution (Tech Cringe worthy), so I guess I’ll put my i5 there, when I buy better cooler for that.
