Cpu Memes

While the GPU market is having another meltdown (people literally fighting in the background), there's always that one person who's completely unbothered—just casually ordering a suspiciously cheap CPU from some sketchy international website. The 5700x for $100? That's either the deal of the century or a paperweight in disguise. Either way, absolute chad move ignoring the GPU chaos and focusing on the CPU bargain hunt. When RTX 4090s are being scalped for kidney prices, sometimes you gotta pivot to CPU upgrades from the digital equivalent of a back alley.

THE AUDACITY of this setup! You've got a monstrous i7 12700k processor—basically a fire-breathing beast from the 9th circle of computing hell—paired with a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card that's practically begging for retirement benefits at this point. It's like strapping a jet engine to a shopping cart! Your CPU is over there calculating the meaning of life, the universe, and everything while your poor GPU is struggling to render a single shadow. This is not a bottleneck—it's a CHOKEHOLD. Your computer is basically screaming "help me" in binary every time you try to run anything more demanding than Minesweeper!

The CPU is making you an offer you can't refuse, mafia-style. It demands 32x more computational resources to give you a measly 1.7x speed boost in return. This is the classic multithreading paradox - throwing massive parallelism at a problem only to get diminishing returns because some tasks just don't scale linearly. It's like hiring 32 people to dig a hole when only 2 can fit in the space. The rest just stand around drinking coffee and collecting paychecks. The purple lighting really sets the mood for this computational extortion. Your CPU is basically saying "Nice application you got there... would be a shame if something happened to its performance."

The slow transformation into a full clown as you try to sell AMD products only for customers to walk out with Intel and Nvidia instead. It's the hardware equivalent of recommending Vim to a new programmer and watching them install Visual Studio Code. The pain is real when you give honest tech advice but customers just follow whatever their favorite YouTuber said last week. That 14700K + 5070Ti combo? Doesn't even exist, but they'll swear their cousin's roommate got one on sale.

Your hacky code works because we convinced a fancy rock to do math. Let's not forget the crucial first steps though - we had to flatten said rock into a silicon wafer and zap it with electricity. Next time your janky regex actually matches what you want, thank the electrified pebble doing billions of calculations per second while having absolutely no idea what it's doing. It's like training a pet rock for the Olympics, except the rock doesn't even know it's competing.
