I7 870 here. 4.17GHz, fucking amazing in the winter.
Where do I get an Intel chip that's not lowjacked by the NSA?
Are the mobile i7 welcome?
>>55104889
You buy an Intel chip from before 2006 that didn't have the IME built-in. Or an AMD chip from the FX line or older, as their newer stuff has a similar hardware backdoor included.
>>55104889
I love how all of you fags think out-of-band management is some nefarious plot to get at your porn habits.

I don't see why not, it's still an i7.

If it's not quad core, it's not a real i7. More like a highly binned i5.
Fortunately yours barely makes the cut.

ejoy your electric bill.
Thats like 300W current draw for cpu only.
x5470 fag reporting in
>>55105573
No, no it's not considering at full load I am pulling slightly over 300w (311w is what im reading)
That's including all my HDDs, my monitors (since they're on the same UPS), motherboard, RAM, GPU, and LED lights and shit.
So no, that CPU is not drawing anywhere close to 300w. Maybe if it was the 8 core version at that speed. At most from the CPU itself it's probably a bit over 200w.
>>55105573
>electric bill
at stock it's rated as a 140w CPU (but so is the 5960x which has 2 more cores, so more likely it uses ~100-120w at stock) assuming normal average US electricity costs, that's ~$0.13 per kw/h. So ~105kw/h per month running 24/7 is ~$13.65 for a full month of 24/7 at 100% CPU load.
Even assuming your bullshit 300w number (which is way higher than what it would actually draw) you're looking at ~$29.25 for a full month at 100% load.
And again, that's 100% load 24/7 for a month. The average person will NEVER see use like that, and further, that overclocked 5820k Idles at VERY similar levels to the non-overclocked 5820k Meaning the majority of the time they aren't being used 100%, they will be using similar power since they are idle.
making that $15 difference significantly less in the real world.
Basically shut the fuck up, if you can't afford an extra $5-10 a month you probably shouldnt have a $400+ CPU and a $200+ motherboard.
I like my CPUs, but idk if either is considered good.
>>55104661

You took the bait...
>>55105083
The dual core i7 SKU is for ultrabooks and good power management when unplugged. 6500u on ultrabook, 6700k @ 4.7 at home. Was pushing 4.8 but it proved too unstable. Guess I didn't win the silicon lottery
>>55105736
Even if it is bait, the average person is not going to understand that it is bait, no reason not to call out a liar when it's a lie that can be easily refuted. The bait aspect doesn't really matter.
Is a 2700k@4Ghz a decent contender?
>>55105824
Oldie but a goodie
How much can I overclock my I7-6700K? Is 4,6hz the max?
>>55105681
You forgot that the newer CPUs have a harder time reaching the same clock speed.
I7 4770, am i not a poorfag?
>>55105864
The highest I have personally seen is 5GHz but that was with a beefy watercooler. Running a corsair h100i, I get a comfortable overclock @ 4.7. If your chip is on air cooling, I wouldn't push much over 4.6
>>55105894
>>55105864
Most I've gotten without increasing voltage on 6700k is 4.5, I've also pushed to 4.8 before and brought it back down to 4.6 for 24/7 usage
>>55105894
>>55105934
I'm running the kraken x61, I think it can hold up the temps. Is anything higher than 4.7Ghz stable?
Also whats your configuration, how much volts are you putting on?
>>55105882
>>55105653 here
My 4770 performs about on par with my 6700HQ and I bought it like 3 years ago.
I think it was a good purchase, definitely not in any sort of tier to be ashamed of

One of the biggest middle fingers Intel has done lately

Sorry, I don't feel the need to spend $100 for some useless meme hyperthreading feature no one has needed since they introduced it on the Pentium 4 20 years ago.
I did however take that $100 and use it for hardware that actually makes a significant impact in improving overall performance.
Most of you fags don't even do anything with your i7s besides shitpost and play free to play games.

My i7 does wonders alongside with my ssd for music, massive sample libraries are devoured.
>>55107174
If you don't need the hyper threading then, yes, it's a meme feature. There are several workloads that benefit from hyper threading and the i7 series tend to perform better all around over an i5 of the same architecture since they start off with a higher clock speed
>>55106592
Yea that really was a dick move by Intel, 6 core 3.6GHz for $1000 then a year later the 5820k also had 6 cores at 3.3GHz for $400 (I got mine for $285 on sale). Both are unlocked multiplier and can OC to 4GHz+ (the 5820k can OC to ~4.5GHz on average). The 4960x also uses DDR3 not DDR4. The 4960x's only real advantage over the 5820k is it has 40 PCIe lanes vs 28 PCIe lanes.
But yea, Intel pissed off a number of people.

I prefer i5 desu. no need for i7
Yo Intel fags help me out. 6700k or 4970k? Both cost about the same in UK, but I'd have to get new RAM and more expensive MOBO for 6700k. Are there any actual gains in gaming from 6700k? What about temps?
>>55109685
I live in the UK and have a 6700k and it's good also who gives a fuck you cunt vote leave and FUCK OFF
>>55109685
Not really to be honest, but I went with the 6700k myself. I believe the 4970k has more PCIe lanes, but I would fact check that.
Have had two:
i7-920 that OC'd to 3.96 at only 1.285v
i7-4770k @ 4.4 GHz @ 1.29v
I doubt the 4770k will last anywhere near as long as my 920 did.
>>55109728
Are you STUPID? The 6700k has 20 pcie lanes goodbye cuckpiss you killrd yourself

Still call bullshit. It's not even clocked that high, only 4.4ghz which wouldn't give it that much more multithreaded performance over a 6700k
Can I post?

the benchmark results are legit. I see your point though, maybe the cpu-z benchmark utility isn't as robust...

Because they are not 8 cores, my AMD chip is.
Look at all these manchilds buying a meme7 instead of solid i5.
Thanks for keeping i5 prices low, lads.
>>55112597
Thanks for being poor

No, your amd cpu is a 4 core cpu with 2 modules from each core.
>>55110880
Yes
uwu
>>55112624
define to me what a module is, i have 8 cores at my disposal, this is fact
>>55112671
It's 4 split cores. Stop acting superior when I doubt you've ever seriously used those 8 cores you keep bringing up
>>55112615
I'm not poor at all. I save lots of $$$ by not buying BS.
>>55112683
It has 8, fully x86 ISA compliant cores, if i ever used them is largely irrelevant, they may share certain front-end and cache resources, but that doesn't make them any less of a core.

>>55112312
Its more energy efficient than Sandy, but almost as powerful as Haswell. Maybe 5-10 % in benchmarks. I would always buy after a shrink.
>>55112734
Look its better than 4 cores and hyperthreading, but 4 modules with 2 cores per module is NOT the same as 8 separate cores with their own cache etc.
The 5690x and 6900k are true 8 core CPUs.

It doesn't seem like Broadwell E had as much a performance jump as Haswell E did over previous hardware
Hopefully Skylake E will have some decent gains, and after no one buys the overpriced Broadwell E chips Intel will get it's pricing shenanigans back down to Earth

Your right, but its still 8 cores.
>>55113050
I'm more hoping Skylake-E brings 8 cores into the cheaper price bracket (under $500)
7 years old,and still soldiering on,preordered the mobo and cpu when they were announced,have been massive value for money
recently i bought the ram on sale and maybe upgrading to westmere and getting a SSD for the os and vidya sometime in the future

Yeah Broadwell-E is pretty disappointing. Then again, so is everything since Sandy Bridge.
Still, nice to know that X99 was a good choice so far, plenty of sweet Xeons to upgrade to if things go the crazy multi-core route.
>>55113451
yeah as long as your motherboard BIOS allows for it.
Thankfully mine scales all the way up to the 22 core e5 2699 v4.
>>55113451
>Then again, so is everything since Sandy Bridge
I disagree. Haswell E was impressive when it debuted, which is why so many people have it still (not to mention it ushered in X99 and DDR4)
Skylake was also pretty good, decent raw performance and lots of other hardware improvements
Besides that, yeah everything else was very meh
