The CPUs aren't costing him any money exactly, I'm trading him one of them (they're mine)
This is factually incorrect.A cpu is a cpu it’s not gonna be unsupported it isn’t reliant on programming like a gpu is with direct x. It may be outdated to the point where it’s slow but not unsupported. I’ve run windows 10 on pentium 4 socket 478 cpus which are very early 2000’s

Yes you can But New Games are being locked out with out SSE4.2. I’ve run windows 10 on pentium 4 socket 478 cpus which are very early 2000’s
As far a me yes Farcry 5, The only reason were are dealing with this sse4.2 instruction was a way to slow down the people who crack the game so retail had a few more days to sell legit copies before the cracked copies hit the torrents. I think I read it was cracked in like 18hrs. so the people who are made to pay the price are us good working people who bought the retail copy and did not have SSE4.2.Question is are you going to be playing games that only support 4.2
Depends on the game. Phenom IIs don't have SSE 4.1/4.2 instructions. Many newer games require that for their DRM before the game will start. Or so I'm told by the gents above.A cpu is a cpu it’s not gonna be unsupported it isn’t reliant on programming like a gpu is with direct x.

I personally don’t play too many modern games especially e sports titles I mainly play simulators, beamng automation grid dirt rally things of that nature and emulation like game cube Wii Wii U ps2 ps1 and so on. I haven’t tried all of those on a pentium 4 but some of them obviously the pentium 4 even overclocked to 3.6 wasn’t able to play Minecraft with reasonable frame rates so it was more of just a test for laughs. When I had made that comment I had completely spaced instruction sets.Depends on the game. Phenom IIs don't have SSE 4.1/4.2 instructions.

This is a couple years old, but the game selection is worse by now, I'm sure.
If you have knowledge to the contrary, I'd love to hear.
