Posted December 9, 2019 I have a 4930k overclocked to 4.5Ghz, with 1600mhz ram with the lowest timings I could get stable. Whenever I look up stats for this CPU, its always at 3.4GHz and who knows what ram, so it always looks like garbage compared to today's tech. I know because of the overclock its definitely comparable to today's CPUs, but obviously they're still ahead of mine. How do I compare this CPU to new CPUs so I can try to gauge a mobo, cpu, ram upgrade in the next year or so. P.S. I can get 1866 Mhz stable with higher timings, would this gain performance?

Posted December 9, 2019 Cinebench R20 is a solid CPU bench. Can compare that to other people's rigs and ask them about what config they're running. RAM can and will effect CB scores, how much do you have to increase the timings to get the higher clock? And what voltage are you pushing? DDR3 can go up to 1.65v without issue in my experience. As a ballpark number, you'll be a bit ahead of an R5 2600, they have a similar IPC but generally top out at 4-4.2Ghz.

I'd try even higher though ^^^ I can get my 1600MHz CL9 stuff going to 2100Mhz CL10 on X58 in triple channel, clocks in that range should be doable on X79 as well (and probably easier, AFAIK you don't have to contend with BLCK overclocking on that platform). 8 minutes ago, Plutosaurus said: I wouldn't upgrade if I were you tbh. ^^ Also true. Only real reason to upgrade would be for 144Hz+ gaming. Anywhere on up to 100-120Hz and you're on par with current CPUs anyways. I'm still running Haswell-E chips (not a massive difference from the 4930K), they do everything without issue, and as well or better than my Ryzen 2000 series rigs did. Ryzen 3000 or a 9700K/9900K are the only real consumer upgrades. For HEDT, you'd have Cascade Lake-X which isn't massively faster (it's on par with Skylake-X which was on par with Broadwell-E which isn't a large difference from Sandy to Haswell based chips), or Threadripper. TR3000 is incredibly expensive, more so than Intel's HEDT for once, and TR2000/1000 isn't any faster on the single core, may even be slower due to lower clock headroom. Basically Intel's 6+ core HEDT chips have held up really, really, really damn well, X58/Westmere-EP is the only one to have really fallen behind. Most newer stuff mostly offers slight IPC increases, better NVMe support, sometimes more PCIe lanes, and higher core counts. If you want to upgrade on X79 though, you can step up to a 1680v2. 8c/16t, lands in between the 2700X and 9900K with a 4.5-4.6Ghz OC.
