Intel 4790k

[THADEMON]

I know this is a good one.... but is it one of the best out there in the intel world? 

[Enderman]

No...

There's the 4960x

Then there's the Xeon lineup...

 

Why are you asking?

[Cokeman]

No not the best. Its the best common CPU out their. You will see a lot of builds with it. You aren't going to see a lot of people with $500 or $1000 i7s or $2500 xeons. But this is a great CPU don't get me wrong. This or the i5 4690k are what you use for a high end gaming PC

[ForsakenLive]

Intel has many platforms, on the 1150 socket, the i7 4790K is the best, but it also depends on what application. Why are you asking? What do you plan on doing?

[FireFox]

UNLESS you need more than 4 cores then yes it is the best in the Intel stable.

[Askew]

He asked if it's one of the best, and the answer is certainly yes, it's the best CPU on the latest 1150 socket.

[THADEMON]

I was just curious because its talked about very highly... But while im asking its good for multi tasking or gaming correct? 

[Clyne]

There are intel xeon one that are better and you can buy but their expensive. If you don't want to spend spend that much on a xeon then you can get the i7.

It's good for multi tasking and gaming. But the difference between i5 and i7 is hyper threading. Hyper threading won't benefit that much in muti tasking and gaming, it will mostly benefit in rendering, 3d modeling, photoshop.

[THADEMON]

Well im to broke to upgrade but I got what I wanted thanks! 

[Majestic]

Actually an i7 is not an i5 with HT turned on. There is also changes to the cache.

 

Topic is very thin though, can you please bring this question into context OP?

 

Edit; nvm....

[patrickjp93]

The best CPU in the world is obviously the AMD FX 9590. These Intel fanchildren are too stupid to know a good CPU when they see it. 

 

Edit: See this is funny because I've never built with an AMD anything, I've been ragging on AMD's business strategies all weak, and I have an I7 4960X in my home computer.

Basicly there is no such of a "best" cpu.

Because it all depends on your personal usage, some cpu´s have an advantage over another, in some "certain" tasks..

 

So yeah in other words, If a CPU is the best for me.

That does not mean, that its also the best for you..

 

Some people still not allways seem to realise that

As long as we can all agree that Apple sucks balls

Why its just overpriced intel hardware?

Ah well okay, they call it crapple.
