Can the Sandy Vagina hold up against the Skymeme in DX12?
>>54384713
Yes, now fuck off.
12 slightly weaker threads will destroy 8 barely stronger ones. Unless you can't oc the zeon
>>54385088
>Unless you can't oc the zeon
You cant
People have already tried.
You CAN buy unlocked versions but they are rare
>>54385088
But the 6700k can be overclocked to at least 4.8 GHz, but the Sandy Xeon E5s won't go over 3.6 GHz. And Skylake is at least 25% stronger per core than Sandy Bridge, and multithreaded performance is about 30% better than Sandy Bridge.
>>54386022
Then clearly 6700k is the winner

I was talking about a i7 3960X or equivalent 6 core Xeon E5s.
I have no idea why used Ivy Bridge Xeons are still so expensive
>>54386071
You can get like a 2600 cpu mark single threaded with a spylake i5 and 8k multi. Whats not to like?

>Not outgrowing the overclocking meme
>Buying an unlocked CPU with an integrated iGPU that does nothing but unnecessarily draw energy and produce heat
If you actually plan to game with an i5-6600 or an i7-6700 alone, it is a waste of money to upgrade to skylake over Haswell. Go and buy a Xeon e3-1231v3 or similar, or save up like an adult and get the processor you think you can cheat to achieve by overcucking.

Why would you ever consider that in the first place? You act like everyone is dumb enough to consider upgrading every generation. Overclocking is not a meme, I don't know what you are going on about, but hey whatever makes you feel superior.
Just picked up a 2500k + board for 50+shipping, feels good
>>54387053
wow that's awesome. I had to pay $200 each back in the day. Still kicks ass every day.
>>54387832
I spent a hundred aud on an i7 870 + mobo 3 years ago.
Really happy with it, at 4.2ghz it rapes anything else in that price range even now
>>54387880
Are you running 1366?
The performance hit I took after I could no longer source 1366 boards for a decent price was shitty and I had to "upgrade" to ivy bridge
Yeah, a friend recently upgraded and gave me a deal i couldn't refuse. Interestingly enough I had been handed an i5 750 and a nice board by a coworker. Currently running that system at 3.5ghz and it handles everything fairly well. Upgrading to the 2500k after I get a case. Still rocking an Antec 300.

>I could no longer source 1366 boards for a decent price
Why is this? I thought there would be a lot more used 1366 motherboards hitting the market after all these years.
>>54388152
Because hex-core LGA 1366 chips are dirt cheap, and they overclock easily to 4.5ghz or more.

>cant OC a xeon
you can overclock 16xx models (up to v3 I think, Intel may have put a stop to it with broadwell) just the same as k series procs. Put them in a non-server 2011 board and the multis should be fully accessible.
>>54387901
I7 870 is 1156 mate.
