Might have the big dumb
I hope you have a good day
Caches in this case is all about data lookup. Consistently used data/instructions will be stored on the cache and being able to read from it means not needing to read from slower storage (in this case, it would be your ram). The x3d has a larger cache, letting your cpu store more and thus do quicker lookups, but in most games, this only nets you marginal benefits. Modern cpus are not the bottleneck for games anymore.
Nah like unless your game is a cpu intensive game (older games come into mind) any recent cpu will do just fine. Hell even a 5600 still chugs for 99% of all games
Cache is just a slight optimization and your gpu matters a lot more for gaming. The only other benefit is a bit better power draw, which is like nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly it’s both valve’s fault and the legal system. They’ve tried to combat these sites with the trade window system back in like 2015 2016 I think, but their csgo and tf2 trading economy struggles when you have to wait a week to do stuff.
It also doesn’t help when a lot of these sites dodge being legally a casino, and get away with it.
10 years ago was like back when hallowed armor was endgame and mech bosses were the last bit?
There’s so much more content now that honestly makes the entire progression completely different
Theres also a wealth of mods now that acts functionally as a whole new game as well (calamity being the biggest one)
In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time
Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game
