Which one is the winner between G3258 and 5960X? None.

5960X is over $1000 and not that many can afford a $1000 CPU. A Xeon E5-2630 v3 is also 8 core and cost $300 less, but it's runs at a slower 2.4GHz and the CPU is locked, so it's limited overclocking. G3528 is cheap and is unlock for overclocking, but it's just a dual core and that's about it. Spend more and get a Core i3, it has HT so it's like a quad core and the extra threads will help with programs and games.

Intel Xeon E5 1650 v3 @ 3.5GHz 6C:12T / CM212 Evo / Asus X99 Deluxe / 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 3000 Trident-Z / Samsung 850 Pro 256GB / Intel 335 240GB / WD Red 2 & 3TB / Antec 850w / RTX 2070 / Win10 Pro x64

HP Envy X360 15: Intel Core i5 8250U @ 1.6GHz 4C:8T / 8GB DDR4 / Intel UHD620 + Nvidia GeForce MX150 4GB / Intel 120GB SSD / Win10 Pro x64

Ding ding. :D

 

Are you sure? I think ECC ram is just for xeons.

Nope. I think that there is at least one i3 that can.

Where I am

 

FX 4300 = $120

FX 6300 = $125

FX 8320 = $180

 

Yes, five dollars.

180$ for FX 4300 performance and for 2005 performance? No thanks, for 70$ I can get twice the performance at a lower price. If I want the performance of two 9590's on a dual socket board I'll go with a 5960x and still outperform it.

The i5 gets a faster memory controller, faster iGPU, higher frequency out-of-the-box and support for more instruction sets.

I agree that competition from AMD would be great, but the relative pricing of Intel products does make sense.

It has double the L3 cache too.

For gaming, yeah. A LG1155 socket Core processor is just fine. I'm personally running a 4690K myself.

Huh? None of the chips mentioned in the video are lga1155. They are either lga1150, or lga2011-3.

Well, L3 is shared among all cores, so the per-core amount stays the same.

Yes, it can be dynamically allocated, so having more in total gives you potentially better performance in some scenarios, but as far as the x86 cores go, you're getting half of a 4690K with the G3258.

Yes, but Faa implied that the core count was the only major difference between the G3258 and the 4670K, which isn't true.

Actually, in gaming, the g3258 does perform about half as much in cpu bound tests.

Edit: misread your post ;)

I were kindly surprised at how great the old Pentium was, but overall its just sad that it didn't do better in Crysis, would of been the most epic CPU for the buck, if you were to make a fully ''Game Console'' on the cheap.

Money has nothing to do with performance, that is true not only for the hardware but for the software as well, even more I would say.

It is a shame that most people are so moneyless that they cannot see the beauty of speed and the fruits such important ascpect of computing brings to everyday creativity/usage.

 

Personally, these 1000+ dollars prices hurt me too, however that is not imporrtant, the important thing is that two HUMAN BEINGS could afford 2 fully functioanal modern laptops for such sum, or 5 laptops for poor children:

This should be good.

inb4 Pentium fanboy vs. i7 fanboy war.

I would love an I7, but it's c$1G way to expensive for me.
