Differences in different Intel CPUs?

[acidydragon]

Hello all!

I was just sitting here pondering the web, and I found an interesting post referring to the 2700k.

Now I know my differences between i5 and i7, but I haven't really thought much about the 2700k and such.

 

1.What are the differences between a CPU like the 2700k and a 4670k or a 4770k?

 

2.What are they made for individually?

 

3.What do they do for gaming?

 

4.Why does the 2700k exist? (Kind of tied in with Q.2)

 

If you guys could answer, that would be great ! I like to keep educated, and I wanted to know some information.

2700K is basically the 4770K of 2 Generations ago. It was a Sandy Bridge CPU.

Well... that makes me feel stupid

Thanks for the quick answer lol

pretty much iterations of the i core series of processor only difference is the production size of the die get smaller for every generation and consume less power for the same clock speed

And of course the 4770 is i7 so it is naturally more powerful than 4670 which is i5.

what is the 2600k then?

[SkilledRebuilds]

Its the Actual Flagship upon release of the series, the 2700k was tacked on the top of the list later with an extra 100mhz.

While newer CPU's can do more instructions per clock, the 2000 series overclock way better than the 3000/4000 series, the 3000 OC better than the 4000 series, which can make up for most of the performance gains of 5-15% moving up the series.

What about the 4820k?

Where does it sit?

It's a 2011 socket, but cheaper than the 4770k.

Well it depends on what you're talking about. As far as overall performance in most benchmarks it goes back and forth between the 4770k and itself. Quad core on LGA 2011 just isn't very effective.

 

Another notable difference is that LGA 2011 is currently on Ivy Bridge-E and not on Haswell like it's 4770k counterpart.

Hope this helped

So it's back and forth in benchmarks, and its on Ivy Bridge, which would be the better buy? (The 4820k is 325, while the 4770k is 340)

Can you explain more why the Quad Core on 2011 isn't effective? Like, not leveraged by games, or is there an issue with the actual chip/board?

I think the Chipset used on the motherboard, of the 2011's are better featured for Multiple PCI-E channels/lanes like GPU's, Sound Cards, Raid cards, many multiple devices all running together on separate physical pathways.

Whereas the 4770k motherboard features multiple options, however some physical and some are electrical pathways. electrical pathways share a single physical link between multiple slots and therefor are less effective for MASS amounts of addon/insert cards and devices.

So, say I was to one day (which will probably happen) SLI my cards. Maybe get a NIC too, would it be worth it to get the 2011 socket now, or is the 4770k worth it still?

I obviously just want best bang for my buck, and I was just trying to figure out the real differences

I think the 2011 rig is for say.. editing with the 6 cores, powerhouse stuff, and then FULLY utilizing the PCI-E bandwidth when you have 4xGPU's for Render assist and Multiple Raid cards <I did say multiple< and I'm sure even more could be used at a professional level that you or I "probably" will never need to utilize.

 

I think if your a normal user with normal "enthusiast" needs, the 4770k will do you very well, and even with 2x GPU's and balls to the walls accessories, the 4770k chipset will see you through.

Only when your into Medical/Rendering graphics professional type stuff would it be worth it..

However if "right off the bat" you buy triple screens and triple GPU's the SAME DAY, having money to spare/blow on that or even more....then I'd totally go for the 2011 socket over the 1150 socket.

 

But the 1150 will do everything the 2011 can, for YOUR usage most likely.

(Disclaimer - I don't know your usage case, this is for most people in between enthusiast 1150 sockets and 2011's heavyduty innerworkings and stuff, and this is all IMO)

I currently run 3 monitors (24" 1080p),

I do light to medium editing

and heavy gaming.
