Doesn't make a difference. You could play 4k on an i3 4160 or fx6300 and it'll be fine. There's so much load/demand on the gpu that most modern CPUs won't be a bottleneck.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.(AMD) is an Americanmultinationalsemiconductor companybased inSunnyvale,California, United States, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets.
Zen is AMD's attempt to re-enter the performance CPU market, it is built on 14nm finfet and appears to have somewhere between haswell and sky lake performance
>>54607796
is this actually going to be significant or another flop by amd leading to their eventual slip into the mug coaster market?
>>54607829
It looks like it's going to be very nice, and more importantly it will be less expensive than intel chips of similar performance
Intel is focusing on energy efficiency and smaller form factors while AMD appears to be focusing on the performance capabilities

>>54607983
Not the best way to think about it really. It depends on what you're doing. For tasks that can utilize threading and multi-cores you can run some old chips neck and neck with much more modern chips without upgrading.
You can get some late 2009 to early 2010 Xeons performing just behind last generations i7s. But while a 5930K is still $550 or so old Xeons are under $100.
Like I said though it depends on what you're using the PC for. Obviously for games you'd probably get more out of a more modern quad core.

Why not get an 8320e/8370e? They're like $100 and a rather large step up over original bulldozer. I mean single thread is still atrocious at stock, but piledriver is what bulldozer was supposed to be. They should work in your existing motherboard assuming it's am3+ socket.

Fuck it why not? Intel chips are safe up to 1.4v for daily use. Anything above that can drastically reduce the CPU life span regardless of temps.
Keep core temps under 85C and you should be golden. What I usually do when overclocking is set the voltage for max safe (1.4v) with all thermal/voltage throttles off. Turn LLC to 100% to prevent any voltage boosting or droop. Try to find the highest stable clock possible. Then start dropping the voltage until unstable.
Easiest way to see max clock at minimal voltage.

1.9V?! I pray you're mistaken or you mean 1.19V. Your motherboard and CPU will not last more than a year, if that, at 1.9V. That's the kind of voltage you run when you're under a DICE pot or LN2.

Currently living the poor mans live with an AMD E1-2600 laptop. Building a pc with an i7 6700k this summer though
>>54609936
First off anon, getting past 4Ghz on air was all up to the luck of the silicon lottery, I had an i7 9xx that could only hit 4.1Ghz even with an AIO cooler.
I know SOME could hit 4.2-4.5Ghz, but that wasn't like you could expect it.
Second, the i7-975 at stock (3.33Ghz) is HALF as fast as the 6600k at stock (3.5Ghz). Even if you could OC it to 4.5Ghz it would still be lacking by a good 30% on single core performance if not a bit more because of new instruction sets.
i7 2640M
>>54610111
Hyperthreading should add an extra ~20-30% iirc, but it'll still trail behind because ddr4.
I7 6700k. I don't even know how to overclock
>>54610192
Not everything is going to support hyper threading though which is why I was just going by single core performance, most games are going to relay on single core performance figures, not hyperthreading multi-core performance.
>>54610213

i5 2500k. Love this thing
i7 920 currently, but I have a i7 5960x ready when my new case arrives.
>>54610213
I agree.
Some newer games support more than 4 threads though, and dx12 and vulkan, but single thread is still important.
An overclocked first gen i7 might be able to get close to an i5 6400 in gaming performance, but I doubt it'll match it.

>Most games have had 2 and 4 core support for years now. Single core games shouldn't be thirsty enough for it to matter.
6600k Single core performance is basically double the 975k at stock
>http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/99?vs=1544
As you say, most games are threaded for 2 or 4 cores (though very rarely more). So a 4 core 6600k with double the 975 single core performance is going to destroy a 975...
Even in the most well threaded situation, anything using a newer instruction set will still end up blowing the 975 out of the water.
and this isn't even getting into OCing the 6600k to 4.5Ghz+
>>54610111
>First off anon, getting past 4Ghz on air was all up to the luck of the silicon lottery, I had an i7 9xx that could only hit 4.1Ghz even with an AIO cooler.
I've got a 920 that sits comfortably at 4.2. Board won't go faster, not the chip. if you stuck to D0 revision chips it's pretty rare to get one that won't pass 4ghz. Had a 950 sitting at 4.5ghz for years in a server.
>Second, the i7-975 at stock (3.33Ghz) is HALF as fast as the 6600k at stock (3.5Ghz). Even if you could OC it to 4.5Ghz it would still be lacking by a good 30% on single core performance if not a bit more because of new instruction sets.
Half? A 975 performs at about 80% in bench marking. Remember the 9xx i7s overclock extremely well. Making up that extra 20% wouldn't be hard at all.
Would single core performance be on par? Of course not. What uses single cores nowadays though?
You can get a 920 almost on par with a 6600K, a 940/950 or 975 wouldn't be hard at all. It won't do as well in day to day tasks or games but it's certainly not worth going out of your way to "upgrade" to a 6600K if you're using a 1366 still.
>>54610192
You can get the triple channel memory on X58 boards to perform extremely well. Not DDR4 well, but very well for the age.
My point was the performance gap is tiny and it REALLY isn't worth upgrading unless you specifically need something a new motherboard offers that an X58 doesn't.
>>54610213
Most games have had 2 and 4 core support for years now. Single core games shouldn't be thirsty enough for it to matter.
Who buys an i7 to game anyway? If you're only gaming the hyper threading doesn't really bring any advantage.
>>54610309
How many games rely purely on CPU power though? I also go back to who buys an i7 for gaming?
>and this isn't even getting into OCing the 6600k to 4.5Ghz+
Can't argue here.
To clarify I'm not saying 6600Ks etc are shit, but people definitely underestimate how well the old i7s still stand up.
i7-4790k
>>54610346
I won't deny the old i7 will still be usable, I was using a Q6600 which was an i7 of its day until i got my 5820k. But a newer i5 will be noticeably better in several ways over the older i7, even if you can get the i7 to come close in some games.
>>54610346
>45C 1.3v idle
>sitting comfortably
>>54610381
My PC is mainly used for rendering (where I can't use my GPU). Whole reason I changed to an i7-920 from a Q9400 was for hyper threading.
Ran some tests with a 4790K a year or so ago and my 920 was outperforming it for what I do.
I won't argue for gaming a new i5 with much higher IPC is the obvious way to go.
>>54610413
My i8 870 is similar.

>>54610413
What temperature do you want it to be? It's an i7-920 (130W TSP) and it sits at 38-42C outside during that time of year.

>not too comfortable when its always on desu, made my room hotter than auschwitz on average day
I don't notice it. Ventilation is great and it's usually 30C+ outside anyway.
Video I'm using at the moment has fanless operation so that helps a lot. Used to be worse when the cards pumped out 60-70C at idle.
Had a group of mining servers with 6970s however many years ago. They sat at 90-100C all day. It was horrible in that room.

>>54609590
I've been running my Phenom at 70+ for like 6 years.
Xeon L5639 @ 4GHz
>>54610629
So since you paid the extra jew tax for the 5930k. I assume you're running quad GPU or some ridiculous SSD RAID array of epic proportions.
Otherwise why did you pay extra for the 5930k over the 5820k? The only difference besides a 200mhz clockspeed increase is the 40 PCI lanes. Which since the 5820k has 28 and the chipset has 8, that's 32 PCI lanes vs 48 PCI lanes.
So anon, what are you running on that extra 16 PCI lanes you paid $200+ for?
>>54610708
running this and i paid less than you think
>>54610777
>no specs
And looks like you're using x16 and x16 for 32 PCI lanes for your GPUs. If you have a Samsung 950 pro M.2 SSD that would use another x4 lanes. That still leaves 2 more lanes for another PCI card (RAID card or sound card or whatever).
And further most motherboards will run the GPUs at x8 and x8 PCI lanes leaving you even more PCI lanes. (a GTX 980TI doesn't see barely any difference between x8 and x16 bandwidth anyway)
Basically what I'm getting at is there literally isn't any physical way you're using more than 36 PCI lanes the 5820k offers, let alone the 48 offered by your 5930k. Unless you're getting quad GPUs or 10-20 SSDs in a RAID array you'll never use those extra PCI lanes. Unless the 5930k was free it was money wasted

Please stick to anime and don't have offspring.
Still rocking an i7 920 at 3.5GHz.
>>54607253
Same here.
Is it time to upgrade yet? This thing's four years old by now.
>>54606939
Core 2 Duo @ 3GHz ,but it's k,since i'm building a Skylake tower
>>54611187
Dude. I have a 780 too whoa. OK I thought you were upgrading out of need and there was something I needed to know about 3770ks
i7-2600k
Contemplating selling it and the motherboard since people seem to pay a decent amount for motherboards they can no longer buy.
>>54607674
>>54606980
>>54609592
5930k over here, use a lot of CFD
>>54606939
Fx-6300. The best CPU that could be installed on my old motherboard. I cannot even OC it because of the 2+1 phase power section.
i5 4440. I had no idea what the fuck I was buying when I built that computer, but it runs pretty well for all the stuff I wanna do at it. Still feel like I fucked up majorly in some way.
>>54611356
as someone with a 4690 not really the i5 is weaker than my old i7 920 overclocked and the i7 at the same clocks is a little bit faster.
CPU Tech is shit currently.
AMD 14nm and Intel next gen chips next year will be alot better
E8400
2500K
3770K
i7 6700k
First time building a PC, that's the only part I own. I only got it because it was $160 new.
I7 4770
i5 2400. cannibalized an old HP and got the cheapest decent motherboard I could find.
Just got a 3770 and mobile for 80$

Thread related, i'll ask here. Would a late 2010 macbook air's core2duo be much of an upgrade from a pentium n3540?

Do you lot think that the i7-6950X will be worth the price? Looking at swapping out my 3770 since I've been doing a lot of rendering recently.

It's pretty ok
6700k, because I'm not poor, upgrade from fx-8120 when i was poor.
>>54606939
my 2600k broke, now I'm waiting for Athlon x4 860k, because I figured I would rather wait couple of years to do proper upgrade.
i7 4790k , build new pc a month ago

What the fuck anon... I have a 5820k and I hate putting it over 1.3v for my 24/7 OC...
>i5 2500k
planning on upgrading to 6600k. please talk me out of it guys.
it's been so long, I can't resist the urge to build a new pc anymore.

i7-6700K at 4.6GHz. Best gay men CPU on the market right now.
>>54613489
6600k is better value for performance for gaming.
The i7 is mostly just wasted money for games as most games dont use hyper threading.
>>54613495
You're a retard spouting memes you heard on the internet, anon. Gaymes do use Hyperthreading (because it's entirely handled by the OS and not some magical feature you need to code in support for), and the performance benefit is real. It's why a stock 2600K comfortably outperforms a stock 4670K in CPU-bound gaymes, despite an IPC deficit.
Now that you've been thoroughly schooled, please use your new knowledge to educate others, rather than spouting stale memes you heard on /g/. Thanks, friend!
>>54613529
>a single game is all games
Come on anon, I could give you 2-3x as many games that dont use hyper threading and you fucking know it.
Hyper threading is used in some games, i never said it wasn't I specifically said
>most games dont use hyperthreading
which is an undisputed fact. Not to mention in that particular case both an i5 and i7 would easily manage 60fps+
i3-2120 3.3 GHz
Found the computer in a dumpster at my grandmas apt complex. Later found a XFX 6850 Black Edition (11% OC from ref cards) next to the bread in a LIDL dumpster. All for free, breddy gud.
>>54613571
Shit, I should start looking into dumpsters more often...

>>54613571
Wow people are stupid. Who tf would throw that out?
>>54613607
I once found a bible from the mid 1500s italy in the dumpster. Sold it to an antique book dealer for like $500. It wasn't even in good shape.

>he's a dumpster diver
>>54613617
Holy shit, you did good anon. I wish I was as lucky, maybe I should start looking through dumpsters, they usually just smell like shit, and just have garbadge.
>>54613856
You need to learn when and where to do it.
Around here there is a pretty rich neighborhood that has 2 dates every year, once in the spring and once in the fall where they arrange bulk trash pickup including electronics and other things.
So on these particular days just go driving around the rich neighborhoods and look for interesting piles.
I've found $300 kitchenaid mixers brand new in the box. Looks like it was a christmas gift never used, or they didn't like the color or something. Old laptops and desktops get tossed all the time as well as older monitors. And when I saw older, I don't mean decade+ old, I mean 2-3 years old that is simply being replaced because they can afford better shit.
>>54613064
I like to play with my toys. It's high yes but it's been like that for almost a year, I have had no problems. It runs F@h 24/7when I'm not using it.
>>54614025
I would expect it to die in another year or two at that voltage. I just cant see it lasting long term with anything over 1.45v. Even 1.4v.
Best of luck to you.
>>54613879
Shit, I need to go to a rich neighborhood, I live in Hialeah, Miami, FL, so there might be some area close. I just don't know what you do, like the dates and shit.

why won't you just get good anon

Ya I totally expect that I had a fx8120 last at 5.3 for 4 years same thing I expected 2 years got 4

that's good summary of concept of using gazillion core cpus in everyday computing
>>54614058
Hey, shit happens. I know a guy who had a crazy high voltage on a Q6600 at like 4.6Ghz, shit ran for years despite that fact.
