Come on /g/ you have to admit this CPU is one of the best ever made. Not only does it have amazing single thread performance, it has 4 cores for very competent multi thread performance. Runs stock at 3.4ghz but OCing to 4.2 is almost guaranteed on any decent air cooler. PCI 3.0, native USB 3.0 and SATA3. And you also get somewhat of a decent iGPU when switching GPUs or for when its needed. And all of this with a 77 watt TDP. The only issue with this CPU is they used cheap TIM instead of solder on the die, but you still get quite good overclocks, reaching 4.5 is pretty common. And when this came out it was priced at 220$ which is a pretty good price to pay for this performance. So /g/ you have to at least agree that this is one of the best CPU's ever made.

I never used it so can't agree that's why I'm asking.
>>52467485
Single thread performance helps everything in the PC, most programs are single threaded so the majority of your programs all run faster due to the higher single thread performance.
I like to think that intel cores are really powerful, but you *only* get 4 while with AMD you have 8 cores but each AMD core is about half as powerful as an Intel core so it kinda evens out. But I would prefer the Intel due to the fact that it runs basically everything really well.

Sorry, Ivy bridge a shit
Sandy was god tier. Ivy bridge fags are just late to the party
The new hotness is currently the 4790k.
>>52467567
Ivy bridge is literally just a better sandy it just runs a little hotter.
>>52467566
You could have all the cores in the world, but if the application is only single threaded its just another bunch of cycles added to core 0.
>>52467466
Sorry to interrupt you
BUT THE i7 2600k WAS GOAT
>>52467591
Exactly my point Anon. Intel is the king when it comes to single thread performance so thats why it wins in my book.
>>52467582
>better
>runs a bit hotter
Pick only one.
>>52467607
Yea I agree the 2600k was pretty godly but much more expensive. Both are amazing cpus.
>>52467582
>it just runs a little hotter
butthurt ivyfag detected.
ivy bridge is dog shit m8, sorry.
you don't hear anybody running aruond talking their god tier legendary cpu from IVY bridge.
It's literally 2500k 2600k owners. Only.
You OP, are the only ivy bride owner who isn't acutely aware of how badly you fucked up by buying ivybridge instead of sandy.
>>52467607
was just gonna say. i use a 4690k and i know this to sitll be true
>>52467625
So does PCI 3.0 mean nothing to you? Does better USB and SATA support mean nothing? Ivy bridge is about 10% faster than Sandy to start with. It also OCs to 4.5 regularly. Ill admit some of the highest core clocks came from sandy but for everyday use most people ran at 4.4-4.5 IIRC. So assuming people either ran at stock clocks or around 4.5 the ivy is still faster in both situations.

lol
just stop m8
you're just embarrassing yourself.

Is proven wrong

ok Anon. Nice b8.

it's a sign of maturity to admit you've been proven wrong, you should try it bud (not him btw)
okay
>>52467607
No.
People need to stop with this i* 2*** meme. No sata 3 and PCI-E 3 makes it a relic of the past.
>>52467964
>haha look guise I can inspect element xD
>>52467984

But anon, it does have SATA3.
>PCI-E 3
No performance difference

2500k is the best cpu ever made
I agree op. I'm sorry I sold mine. We had a blast.

Sandy bridge cpu's did have sata3.
Are you an idiot?
