Quick question, whats the diffrence? Which one to buy when getting I7-4*** for LGA 1150.  Im sorry if this was asked before.

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Also sorry for asking in the same thread but: is there a diffrence in 6 MB of Cache vs 6 MB Intel Smart Cache?

I think its the name of the integrated gpu (igpu) in the Haswell chips. 

 

EDIT; Bloop :) "Crystalwell is the name for a part of a superior subset of Haswell chips. 'Crystalwell' is literally the codename of the L4 cache (eDRAM) featured in the Iris Pro-enabled Haswell CPUs".

 

Found it here

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

Does it make a difference for a 300-350 Euro CPU or is it just a fancy name?

From what i read, no. It has to with the integrated gpu in the cpu. 

 

If you're looking to get a laptop, then maybe. But for desktop gaming with a dedicated gpu, then no, not at all.

Smart cache is intel's marketing name for cache ^^

It makes a difference if you use integrated graphics for games. Who does that? Well, nobody.  Lol. Oh and I suppose this way apple can market their laptop as having "crystal clear iris pro graphics".

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
