With What My Xeon X5670 Comparable to?

Sorry for my bad english

 

I am curious about my 6 cores 12 thread Xeon X5670 processor.. i wanna know what it is capable of and i also wanted to know that with what i5 or i7 processor it is comparable to in gaming performance..

If it's overclocked to 4.4-4.6ghz yeah it's sorta like a Ryzen 1600. I sometimes get better performance in games than my buddy with a Ryzen 1700.

 

Stock though, in games probably something more like a FX 6300 or a really weak i7 970 or i7 930 with another 2c/4t

Ya... no idea what all the hype's about. If I want something cheap that can score high in Cinebench R15 I might as well buy a Phenom II 6 core or even Phenom II quad core that can be unlocked to a hexa core.

Nothing because its a 10 year old Architecture.

So todays 4 Core are about as good as those...

 

And the Boards for it are rediculously expensive so that you hardly save much to modern

Yeah, on Paper, but the 1600 has better "IPC", than even Sandy Bridge gets beaten with it...

 

So I'd say the 1600 is probably 25-50% faster at the same clock than the 5670, it really didn't age too well.

It will depend on your game, assuming unlimited GPU firepower

If you already have it, you should know how good it runs, don't you?

 

If its enough for you, its fine. YOU have to live with it.

I only have an L5640...

Unless you're overclocklng it, not really. My X5660 does great in my home server, it's still better than like a stock i7 920/930 though provided you're playing games with good multithreading. It doesn't support AVX though so h265/x265 video encoding isn't great but it does a couple streams just fine and handles everything else I'd want to throw at it while having as much very cheap DDR3 I can stuff into it.

My X5675 absolutely demolishes the 1100T on an ROG Crosshair IV Extreme I just picked up recently, it's like 2130cb for the X5675@4.6ghz and 1335cb for the 1100T@4ghz in R20. The Phenom doesn't have SMT so it's not quite fair I guess, but that's much of what makes X58 better nowadays. I'd overclock the 1100T further but it already gets up to 63c on a Corsair H70 during p95 while my NH-D14 keeps my X5675 under 85c.

 

Bottom line is though, if it does everything you want to a level that is acceptable for you, at a price you are comfortable with. Then it's perfect. If it doesn't do what you want it to do, it's time to upgrade.

Yes and what does the 1100T cost? WITH BOARD!
What does the X5675 cost?

Or rather what were the cost at the time...

ähm, you say already 63°C on AMD but keeps it under 85°C??

I'd say 63°C is lower than 85°C...

Yes

but buying it new is not recommended except for collectors.

For daily use a new Ryzen System makes more sense.

My 4.5ghz x5675 does well enough with a 1080ti and 3440x1440 resolution to keep me entertained.

 

Numerically it is towards the low-middle tier of CPUs. I have had the motherboard since 2010, so for me it was a quick and cost effective upgrade, but market prices for boards are ridiculous.

 

I'm buying a Zen2 part most likely. It's time.

The 1100T was free from an Alienware I got from a buddy years back that he got for free. Everything else with 8gb of G.Skill Ripjaws, the Crosshair IV Extreme, Phenom II 965, a like new Rosewill Hive 750w, two not crossfired HD6870's and the Corsair H70 was $40 from a thrift store. In a case that had tape in it to prevent the non-standard, not quite E-ATX board from shorting out along with a hacksawed drive bay to clear sata cables. On top, half of the 5 or 6 fans were dead and I considered only one to even be usable without a wobble or making horrible noises. Usually AMD stuff goes for top dollar though on the used market since it can use dirt cheap ECC Unbuffered DDR3 and compatibility with nearly anything that fits in the socket are AMD's strong points. New FX-8350's are also still available for worthwhile prices and are unofficially supported in many non-AM3+ boards.

 

As far as MSRP's, a i7 970 was like $900 and the Phenom X6's were like $300. My GA-X58A-UD5 I think I paid $300 for, and the Crosshair IV Extreme was a $300 board also. Back then the real battle would have been Nehalem 4c/8t vs Thuban 6c/6t, both of which are actually really competitive provided you didn't lose the silicon lottery like I did on my i7-930.

 

You're not supposed to run Phenoms hot, it would probably die if you ran it anything near as warm as I have ran X58 hardware at upto 100c(on accident or stock cooler). 65c is the advised max temps for Phenoms, especially the higher power draw ones. You're going to need a high end cooler to get the performance out Phenom X6's. I hit like 4.3ghz on my old 955 with a trash 4 phase Gigabyte board and did it on the stock BE cooler after some lapping of both just for fun, sure it hit 72c but that hardware was free. It still struggled in some games since it barely broke 430cb in R15, which my i7 930 managed like mid-high 500's. Although it wasn't too bad after it got my old R9 280. Phenoms also don't support the newer SSE instructions and there's a ton of games which don't work because the devs don't know about this, nor care since I think even the Q6600 supported them and that's even older.. Any game with EAC is out as well.

 

He didn't ask if he should buy Ryzen, no one mentioned buying new parts or new old stock parts. He asked what more conventional hardware is it comparable to and if it will do 1080p60 which it will absolutely do in less stressful games provided that it's given a more modern gpu than something from the era it was originally from.

Try to get a score like this with a Phenom II. Even AMD FX 8350 or 9590 would need a really high clock speed to beat my X5670.

Nobody cares about either of those.

But you have to compare those with other systems as well, such as Ryzen 5/1600 wich is available at under 115€ right now, because the LGA1366 Boards are rediculously expensive. 150€+ for a Standard mid range one for example.


And thus, looking at the Ryzen 1600 and 1600X makes sense.

 

And what do they get at Default:

1183 (@3,6GHz, DDR4-3200) and 1245 for the 1600X (with DDR4-2933)

 

And those Plattforms, with an entry level Board, aren't even more expensive and you get it new, WITH WARRANTY!

 

The X5670 doesn't make too much sense today, it did a couple of years ago when it was a cheap 6 Core CPU (with SMT), today it doesn't.

Where and how to measure??

Here the Spec from Intel:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005597/processors.html

 

Quote
  • Tcase: Temperature measurement using a thermocouple embedded in the center of the heat spreader

AMD CPUs are way heavier than Intel and also have a far beefier Copper Heatsink on the CPU as well.

Without knowing what and how AMD did specify it, its a useless measure.

No, because in general they don't clock too well.

Back in the day, nobody would care about a 5 Year old Processor, let alone a 10 Year old one...

And that you still can use 10 Year old CPUs show that there was a standstill for the last 10 years with only little improvement each generations.

 

Back in the day, the 15-20% improvement from the last generation was common, even 50-100%, depending on the use case and the CPU.

 

The differences were so enormous that CPU-Old needed almost than double the frequency to somewhat compete with the next generation.

Why so salty??
You should always keep the price in mind and look what new stuff cost.

And compare the old price with the new Price.

 

But 150€ for a 10 Year old, mostly gone, Motherboard is just rediculous.

Even the ~50€ CPU doesn't help much.

 

Back in the day that was the difference between 80386SX/16 and a 550MHz K6-2 or 450MHz Pentium 2.

 

Or take the 79-89-99-2009 timeframe:

79: Intel 8088, 5MHz (though cost down 8086 wich was released a year prior -> 8bit Bus vs. 16bit on the 8086) and also the legendary Motorola 68000.

89: 80486-25MHz (DX)

99: Pentium 3 up to 700MHz, Coppermine, Athlon (IIRC up to 750 or 800MHz in that year)

09: Phenom 2, Core i7-960 (both top at around 3,2GHz or so)

19: Ryzen 3000 series, Intel i9-9900K and some HEDT Server Parts with 28-32 Cores, later 64.

1. We do not know if he has it or intends to buy. That is an important piece of Information

2. Its a 10 Year old CPU, that it can still be used for something is amazing

3. It won't last for too long and only he knows if he will be happy with whatever it does.

Try to get a score like this with a Phenom II. Even AMD FX 8350 or 9590 would need a really high clock speed to beat my X5670.

I wont call your setup cheap. Not even when compared to FX 8 core which has AVX for other workloads. Working AM3+ boards are easy to find and affordable, can't say the same to X58. Also you can squeeze down cost on AMD more by using 4bit DDR3 sticks

True, FX 8 Cores should be able to be gotten for 200-250€ with a decent quality Board - with everything you need, meaning Metal Shroud, PSU, Harddrive and so on.

CPU was sold off for ~50€ or so a couple of weeks ago in Germany...

Yeah, mostly because Am3+ was a consumer Plattform with Boards from 50-250€ (or more), while X58 was high end with Boards starting at around 150€ if you're lucky with many in the 200€ range.

With existing designs that were "just" updated for the new specification.

 

So its a bit unfair to compare 100€ COmponents (NEW) with 300-900€ ones...

The 1100T was free from an Alienware I got from a buddy years back that he got for free. Everything else with 8gb of G.Skill Ripjaws, the Crosshair IV Extreme, Phenom II 965, a like new Rosewill Hive 750w, two not crossfired HD6870's and the Corsair H70 was $40 from a thrift store. In a case that had tape in it to prevent the non-standard, not quite E-ATX board from shorting out along with a hacksawed drive bay to clear sata cables. On top, half of the 5 or 6 fans were dead and I considered only one to even be usable without a wobble or making horrible noises. Usually AMD stuff goes for top dollar though on the used market since it can use dirt cheap ECC Unbuffered DDR3 and compatibility with nearly anything that fits in the socket are AMD's strong points. New FX-8350's are also still available for worthwhile prices and are unofficially supported in many non-AM3+ boards.

 

As far as MSRP's, a i7 970 was like $900 and the Phenom X6's were like $300. My GA-X58A-UD5 I think I paid $300 for, and the Crosshair IV Extreme was a $300 board also. Back then the real battle would have been Nehalem 4c/8t vs Thuban 6c/6t, both of which are actually really competitive provided you didn't lose the silicon lottery like I did on my i7-930.

 

You're not supposed to run Phenoms hot, it would probably die if you ran it anything near as warm as I have ran X58 hardware at upto 100c(on accident or stock cooler). 65c is the advised max temps for Phenoms, especially the higher power draw ones. You're going to need a high end cooler to get the performance out Phenom X6's. I hit like 4.3ghz on my old 955 with a trash 4 phase Gigabyte board and did it on the stock BE cooler after some lapping of both just for fun, sure it hit 72c but that hardware was free. It still struggled in some games since it barely broke 430cb in R15, which my i7 930 managed like mid-high 500's. Although it wasn't too bad after it got my old R9 280. Phenoms also don't support the newer SSE instructions and there's a ton of games which don't work because the devs don't know about this, nor care since I think even the Q6600 supported them and that's even older.. Any game with EAC is out as well.

 

He didn't ask if he should buy Ryzen, no one mentioned buying new parts or new old stock parts. He asked what more conventional hardware is it comparable to and if it will do 1080p60 which it will absolutely do in less stressful games provided that it's given a more modern gpu than something from the era it was originally from.

And where is it measured, what does the Temperature mean?!
Often its some bullshit tCASE Spec that nobody here can actually measure...

Do you have actual Proof or is that just speculation on your part?!

You have the Tec Spec to how to measure the Temperature or what it actually means??

Where and how to measure??

Here the Spec from Intel:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005597/processors.html

 

AMD CPUs are way heavier than Intel and also have a far beefier Copper Heatsink on the CPU as well.

Without knowing what and how AMD did specify it, its a useless measure.

No, because in general they don't clock too well.

Back in the day, nobody would care about a 5 Year old Processor, let alone a 10 Year old one...

And that you still can use 10 Year old CPUs show that there was a standstill for the last 10 years with only little improvement each generations.

 

Back in the day, the 15-20% improvement from the last generation was common, even 50-100%, depending on the use case and the CPU.

 

The differences were so enormous that CPU-Old needed almost than double the frequency to somewhat compete with the next generation.

Example:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/80486/AMD-AMD-X5-133ADW (Am5x86-P75).html

 

Why so salty??
You should always keep the price in mind and look what new stuff cost.

And compare the old price with the new Price.

 

But 150€ for a 10 Year old, mostly gone, Motherboard is just rediculous.

Even the ~50€ CPU doesn't help much.

I am really sorry for providing an incomplete information.. i do have a x5670 with a dell precision t3500 .. I can't overclock it because my mobo won't allow it.. and i have paired it with an r9 380 4 gb.. and the main purpose of my pc is to game at 1080p 60 fps and stream as well.. i buy my pc because i was getting it for 60$ with 8 gb 1600 mhz ram(without gpu) and i spend 110$ on my r9 380.. and as long as i determined in 1 or 2 games like apex legend and just cause i some time gets a frame drops below 60 because of my gpu which struggles in these games.. but even though i am not saying it was unplayable mostly my fps are higher then 60.. i am just asking that is it worth for the price i gave? And should I'll be okay for an year by only upgrading my gpu?

The thread title was "With What My Xeon X5670 Comparable to?" so I felt it was heavily implied after he said "I am curious about my 6 cores 12 thread Xeon X5670 processor.." that he already owned it lol.

 

I'm really just confused why everyone wants to push Ryzen down anyone's throat at any opportunity. Someone buying/using a X5670 likely doesn't have access to new parts, doesn't have the budget for new parts, and/or has access to cheap used parts. If you're happy with what you have and it does what you want there's absolutely no reason to drop hundreds of dollars on brand new hardware.

 

Yeah tcase is absolutely useless to anyone on the consumer end of things, I'm definitely not talking about tcase. Deneb/Thuban have a huge warning like everywhere that you shouldn't exceed 65c. AMD's spec is 62c for most Phenom II cpus, there's a chart for max temps against TDP somewhere but I can't find it right now. AMD recommends either Overdrive or Core Temp for reading the temps. I use Core Temp and OpenHardwareMonitor of which the later, on many boards I've found to be better supported while reading the same, but I always use both on AMD stuff just to make sure everything looks right. Just go google "Phenom temp limit" or something, AMD's official resource links are all broken but there's thousands of forum posts and reviewers saying the same thing. In comparison Intel stuff is most often designed to hit 100c and throttle which is common on their junk stock coolers. I did just read that Phenoms will shut off if they reach 90c, so I guess it couldn't ever hit 100c like my X58 stuff has anyways.

 

I really wasn't trying to go for an AMD vs Intel thing, both are great they just offer different options from each other. All hardware can be the greatest thing ever if you get it for good enough of a deal. I'd never suggest anyone outside of people who are enthusiasts to run out and buy X58 hardware. Unless it's a good deal of course and/or would work well for their use case. Deals are everywhere if you look hard and long enough and it all just matters what you need the hardware to do and if it fills that need for a better price than other alternatives.

8gb of ram, do you have a triple channel motherboard(6 slots) or one of the older dual channel(4 slots) ones? I would try to get another stick of DDR3 if you can but only if it's cost effective. You can also use ECC Unbuffered memory which can often be found for really cheap, but I wouldn't suggest to mix across channels like that but only do like two different kits of 3 sticks. Look for something like PC3-10600U/PC3-10600E(12800 for 1600mhz), the U and E should denote ECC Unbuffered specifically. I was able to find 3x2gb for $18 shipped, sometimes locally you can find them for like $5 each but that all depends on your local market.

 

Yeah, Apex Legends is built on the source engine which has hilariously bad multithreading, it has been significantly improved from the old source engine versions over the years though. The Titanfall branch is heavily modified but it's still Source. The R9 380 isn't a bad card and if you paid that much for it recently, you might have overpaid for it since a new RX 570 is worth about that, at least in the US. If your prime concern is gaming, you could try picking up a faster Westmere quad core. X5687's are about the same price as a X5675 and you can get them on Aliexpress. Don't expect significant performance gains but it should help a little with stuttering and fps drops.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5687-Quad-Core-LGA1366-Desktop-CPU-100-working-properly-Desktop-Processor/32801935872.html

 

You could try looking for a used RX480/RX570/GTX970 but you'll have to be very careful to check benchmarks against any other cards you look at and gauge their value to performance. You're probably going to be looking at an overall upgrade, Haswell/4th gen Intel stuff has got fairly cheap, can use the DDR3 you already have and if you get an i7 would be an all around upgrade. Used/New Ryzen is also of course really good along with some used Skylake stuff really coming down in price. I would suggest to look for cpus with more than 4 threads though, so try to avoid any i5's if you possibly can. Going forward games are only going to use more and more threads and there's a lot of games on even current gen cpus which will bottleneck simply because they don't have enough threads for the game and will experience stuttering, ect.

 

Your build was a pretty good deal though it sounds like. It's going to be pretty rough to beat without getting near to the price of new parts unless you can find a good deal on something.

Don't worry, you didn't think about it.

But with all those Westmere Hype Threads, its better to make sure that you own it and not plan to buy one.

Yeah, that's often the case with Prebuilt systems, that you have no way to overclock. That's not what they are made for....

GPU might be a bit on the low end though...

That's not a bad price, not bad at all.

And what it should cost.

Problem is: a "normal" Consumer Motherboard cost about as much as both of those combined. Only the Board.

Yeah, the price is more than fair for such an old machine.

And you should be OK for a year or so, to save up for a better machine.
