3770k vs 4770k?

[skimmer001]

Which one is better for overclocking and might be more better for future?

[upliftsleet1974]

Well I would say the 4770k is better but it depends on the price and what you will be useing the computer for!

[WoodenMarker]

The 3770k hits higher clocks and oc's more easily. The 4770k performs better.

[wng_kingsley7]

4770K. As it consumes less power. If the pricing is right get the cheaper one out of the two.

[TheRuke]

3770K has better overclocking potential. But 4770K has better performance.

 

Get whichever is cheaper (also factor in the mobo price!)

[Sernyhough]

Cheaper one. But at STOCK 4770k is faster.

[Andrew0472]

im pretty sure at stock the 4770k is around 10% faster but the 3770k could overclock higher if both were good chips. I'd choose the 4770k for both the performance and the features of z87 motherboards

3770K overclocks a bit higher than 4770k

 

However, understand this. If you have 2 CPU clocked at the same speed, that doesn't mean they perform exactly the same. So a 4770K clocked at 4.3GHz does not necessarily mean it gives the same performance output as a 3770K clocked at 4.3GHz. No, the 4770K is a bit more performing than the 3770K and consumes less power; consuming less power means it lives longer. So go with the 4770K.

You liar. chrome.exe isn't located in C:\Program Files (x86) or it's subfolder. It's located under appdata. The only way to take it to Program Files is to create a junction. Don't lie next time, otherwise I will tell your mom.

Neither, 4 core cpu's aren't the future. And those are about to become obsolete, last gen.

What is a junction? It's downloaded right here:

 

 

The only thing that's in the Google folder is Sketchup for me.

[Mindtrickz]

At stock clock the 4770k is easily better. Better performance, less power consumption and better Z87 features. As for over-clocking well that depends on the luck of the bin/silicon lottery. 

 

I managed to get my 4770K at a stable 4.6 GHz. I think I can get a 100 MHz more out of it, but that would consume too much power and it would not be worth it.

Interesting, do you have anything in C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application ?

[TheRuke]

Nope. there isn't a Application folder

 

[Darth Vader]

Nope. there isn't a Application folder

 

 

Ahhh now I understand; so you got it half and half.

 

You got the User Data folder here and the application somewhere else. Google usually puts them together in AppData, but I guess you chose to move. However, the User Data folder is specifically the one that gotta stay in App Data. In contains all of your personal settings and data (history, bookmarks, extensions...) So really if you reinstall chrome or install it on a new PC, you can just copy this folder from the old PC to the new PC and put it in the same location.

 

As to what junctions are, they are basically shortcuts, but more for Windows than for you. It makes Windows and/or other programs think that a folder is in one location, but in fact you have placed it in another.

So... I'm a 1337 H4X0R?

[Faa]

All of you are comparing IB with HW wrong. Compare the performance per clock instead where as the 4770K is amazing. 

Average OC results for SB: 4.8GHz - IB: 4.5GHz - HW: 4.2GHz. Performance SB@4.8GHz = IB @ 4.5GHz = HW @ 4.2GHz. So you're joining a silicon lottery with HW same goes with IB so you rather gamble on Haswell.

Yeah the future is 4 cores, named 8 integer cores, with half the FPU as the 4 core you think is obsolete. 

 

8350 = I5 in 8 thread games (and the I5 starts at 600mhz lower), and it gets beat at 5ghz by a stock I5.  FUTURE written all over it...

 

8 integer "cores" are the future if you think that unzipping files is going to be the next e-sport. As far as computer games? No.
