THIS CPU IS GOD FOR A 4 YEAR CPU, it just put the 4770k in the bin

[alihazzi7]

fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[LukaP]

ofc it has, 2 more cores, even though its an old arch. plus its running quite a high frequency too

[Phllips]

wot? EDIT my pic didnt load

[Phllips]

 i has 4770k?

[alihazzi7]

true but for a 4 year old cpu im gonna try to get to 3930k level

4.51ghz and still going

how did you even unlock it?

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, 4 years of Cinebenching

Hueheuheueheuehee :3

 

Joke. For video editing and well threaded workload is faster. But for gaming, 4770k destroys it.

 

EDIT: oh you overclocking it that changes everything. This cpu is good for at least 6 years lmao if it doesnt die.

still, its not 33% faster than a 4770k, so its not better for slightly threaded workloads like games. it does destroy it at rendering tho.

[Scouten]

the only issues with the CPU is the actual motherboard x58 lacks a lot of newer features some don't even support Trim on SSDs

[SkilledRebuilds]

And it uses more power than the 4770K, while only being a little faster...

But thats expected for its age and CPU spec.

nah not that much power 95watts

at rendering 33% faster not core 2 core

I considered the overclock included too, but yeah It's not that big of a jump... for any overclocker that can be normal I guess.

1. Slower at stock speeds than the 4770K at stock

Was more expensive when it launched

Uses more power

Worse IPC

More expensive platform

None of that means anything. These CPUs are selling for around £70, less than 1/3 the cost of a 4790k now.

 

As for X58 lacking features? there are plenty of lanes on a decent board, all you need is a SATA III Rocket card and a USB3 card and you're sorted.

 

People are not rushing out to buy these and find boards for them mate. They're buying them to replace their I7 920 as an example and the Westmeres clock higher and run cooler. A fantastic upgrade if you have a reasonable X58 platform to drop it into.

 

As for the pluses? lots of PCIE lanes. SLI and Xfire support, Triple channel DDR3 as opposed to Hasfails dual channel..... It goes on. Stop being a wet blanket.

nah just bumping the base clock

Try booting of a SATA expansion card, most older boards don't support this.

USB3 support is still lacking big time on 3rd party chipsets, so don't expect too much of it.

 

And of course you can find second hand stuff cheaper than new stuff, but that's kinda the point, isn't it? But you have no warranty on any of those parts.

 

Also, how was Haswell a "hasfail"? It's the consumer line, if you expected anything big here, you were just wrong.

They have AHCI (-> trim).

Scoring basically the same as a 4770K at 4.4GHz orsomething, has 2 more cores and 4 more threads. Single threaded difference is already a bare minimum of 50%.

Most old X58 boards have RAID controllers on them, which you can easily boot from.

 

I ran a Highpoint Rocketraid card in my X58 and that was a bloody Foxconn. USB3 isn't even native to X79, mate. Intel couldn't be arsed so left it to the AIBs.

 

Warranty schmarranty. LOL who cares if it works?

 

Hasfail. Really hot version of Ivybridge that doesn't clock anywhere near as far so in reality is no better. See also - Sandy to Ivy. And X79 to X99 - etc etc.

 

Hasfail, because it was so bad Intel had to re-launch it as Devil's Canyon with another new socket just to fix the errors they made with Hasfail. People all lapped it up as usual.

my old p6x58d-e board the marvell controller didn't support it

You're not supposed to use 3rd party sata controllers

[Ssoele]

I am not talking about the RAID function that the X58 chipset supported. Booting for a 3rd party RAID controller often is not supported by either the card itself of the board.

People do care about warranty, components can fail within the 2 year warranty, so are even more likely to fail after 4-6 years.

First, Devil's Canyon is still Haswell, they use the same socket and 80-series chipsets just need a BIOS update to run them (same with 60-series boards and Ivy Bridge).

Second, the first haswell chips do indeed run hotter but they are still good chips. Intel has been giving us about 10% IPC upgrades for a few generations now, so again, if you expected more, than you were wrong.
