Will I see a performance jump?

[Phoenix70]

I will upgrade from my athlon 64 5600+ to an i5 4690k soon (hopefully) Will I see any significant performance increase? I will also jump to 8GB of ram and a new gen amd gpu when it comes out, but thats a topic for another day

[harrynowl]

Yes, yes you will.

[Phoenix70]

Yess a huge one

like how much?

[Interfectorem]

You most absolutely definitely see a performance gain.

[Clyne]

Yes, there is a big difference.

Depends, in what game?

battlefield series,crysis series,CoD and other various shooters,open world games,and RTS

[Phoenix70]

a 6670 by asus; planning to get a new gen amd gpu when they drop (probably a high end 1)

Probably the most idiotic things i've ever seen a member on this forum say. The OP was making a genuine query about performance improvements, if you don't have anything constructive for the OP then just get lost.

Yes, you will see significant performance improvements in gaming, multi-tasking and browsing. No way of being able to say exactly how much, but it will be a pretty significant improvement.

look mate i would say about 30-40% gain in out right perfomance for cpu tasks

 

Gaming FPS realy depends on your gpu selection and budget

[i_build_nanosuits]

with the HD6670 gpu you aint gonna notice any difference in gaming because this is a VERY weak GPU, for other task that rely on CPU speed its gonna be day and night.

[totjup5]

You will see a huge jump.

[-rascal-]

Its going to be a HUUUGE performance jump. A CPU from 2005/2006 versus something from 2013/2014. Thats a massive gap difference in the technology world.

I can confidently say it's going to be at least 2x or 3x faster.

Not much comparisons available between the two...as the 64 X2 5600+ is so much older but...

Even a FIRST generation Core i5 was easily 1.5x - 2x faster.
