To be honest they should allow up to 8 - way crossfire with TR CPU's and also ship a 3KW PSU.

In 1 game...
 

 
 
 

Just another thread with triggered weaboo's and a bunch of people who are not even interested in this just talking shit.
 
Stay classy.

I think starbucks will smash them with their new star trek themed combo and break ass by sticking it up there to them.

And I thought Vega was bad....

Who are you:? and where is this laboratory?

Thread title.
 
Better value gaming CPU than $130 i3-7350K?
 
 
But ohh no it's faster in cinebench but loses in single core speed..
 
I rest my case son.

I would be more surprised if it were different
 
Why make more parts than you have to?

Wait, the glorious E5-2670v1 only does 110 points in single thread cinebench R15?  That's only slightly better than my old six core Phenom II running at 3.9GHz.
 
For comparison, a stock R5 1400 will do 129cb/665cb single/multi with the stock power sipping 3.2/3.4 clockspeeds.  When you overclock it to 3.8GHz, it'll do 148cb/793cb single/multi.
 
OP was going to buy a hyperthreaded dual core.  They don't need sixteen threads worth of power hungry surplus server gear.

Do you already have a Z170/Z270 mobo?  The absolute cheapest ones I can find are Z170 boards in the $85-90 price range (which might not support Kaby lake out of the box) and Z270 boards starting at $95-100.  With the i3-7350K, I doubt you'd have to worry much/at all about power delivery for overclocking to the moon, but the motherboard quality is something to very much take into consideration as far as your upgrade path is concerned (i.e. grabbing a 7600k or 7700k next year when people are upgrading to CoffeeLake which is coming out in like a week, you might want to wait and see what's going on there).  Also keep in mind Z170/Z270 is basically dead with the CoffeeLake requiring the new chipset.  So we're looking at $215 (cheapest Z170) to $230 (cheapest Z270), with another $20-30 being spent on the mobo being a pretty solid idea.
 
I personally can't stand using a hyperthreaded dual core, it's WAY too easy to peg out the CPU and bring your system to its knees even doing office work.  i3's (and quad core i5's) look great when you can be damn sure that your game is the only thing running on your system, but most games can EASILY use 4 processing threads, so as soon as your system tries to do something in the background you'll probably see a performance hit.  Back in the day when dual cores were barely a thing it wasn't uncommon at all to go through task manager and kill a bunch of processes/services so your games would run more smoothly.
 
You can get a solidly non-shit B350 motherboard for $70-75 (Asus Prime B350M-A, Asrock AB350M Pro4, etc), and an R5 1400 costs $160.  It's overclockable to 3.8 to 4GHz like every Ryzen CPU is, has 4 cores and 8 threads.  It comes with a decent cooler (stock cooler might limit you to 3.7 - 3.8).  Yes, single-thread performance will lag behind a 5GHz i3, but Ryzen will still have no problem pushing frames for 100+Hz gaming.  For $230-$240, you're looking at locked i7 performance, and your computer basically won't give a damn if windows decides screw around with something in the background.  Also, AM4 is basically brand new, so if you want to talk about upgrade paths, AMD plans to continue using socket AM4 until 2020 when they anticipate a new platform utilizing DDR5.  So when the updated/refined Ryzen successor comes out, and it keeps the great things established with Ryzen while lifting that fairly hard 4GHz limit, all you'll have to do is update your BIOS, buy a brand new chip, drop it in, and go.
 
I'm completely ignoring the topic of DDR4 and how much it costs because OP is already looking to switch to skylake/kabylake and needs to buy it either way.

Might as well recommend the FX series CPUs - the FX 9590 beats the E5-2670 in Single Core (110 points) and is still much faster in Cinebench than the R3. Oh wait, nobody recommends the FX Series because it has really bad single core performance...

Games don't use all those cores and threads, i live on a planet named Earth, perhaps you should take a look into doing that some day.

Most games only use up to 4 cores/threads still.
 
Now if the the Ryzen can beat the Xeon in single core, it means it'd also beats it in 4 core, yes? So that means in most games, it'd beat it

I would not buy a 2670 for gaming, only consider xeon if you can OC them since the low CPU price is well worth it, but factor in that X58, x79 boards are not usually cheap.
 
Ryzen R3 is a good buy.

Dolphin only really uses about 2 cores significantly, so Westmere EP wouldn't be the best for it, but it'll still run just fine probably, it's not like you need a 5GHz i7 7700K for it. 

try it maybe?

Higher. Rx 460 is much better than the hd 7790 equivalent on the Xbox one

I SEE what you replied to. You seem to think that if it wasn't bottlenecking a 280x or 290x or whatever at specific settings then it won't bottleneck a 1070 at those settings, which doesn't make sense to me.
 
 

EDIT: Oh yeah I meant under clocking or undervolting... because I didn't know if you could do either.
Yes it was at the same settings, and the frames are limited but its still stuttering. Therefore It cannot be a CPU bottleneck.
EDIT: As long as it was running at or over 60 fps before he changed GPUs.

Clearly not a bottleneck or it would happen with the 280X also, people assume everything is either a bottleneck or DDU, rarely anything else.
 
If you were not stuttering with the 280x at the same settings you tried on the 1070, then it's either a driver issue or a GPU issue.

More than 50% of steam users still use 1080p , it isn't dead yet.
 
And people said drivers and optimisation could not fix Vega. This is even in 1080p where AMD normally does worst due to Nvidias more efficient drivers.

Some of us actually prefer 1080p so we are able to game at 165 and 240hz and not the choppy 60hz even if it is 4k...
