Intel 4th generation vs 5th?

Go to solution Solved by Prastupok,

I was wondering, what's the difference between the 4th and 5th generation of Intel's processors, and is it worth the extra money?

 

 

The 5th Gen currently are the ones on the X99 chipset. They are for heavy workflow. Unless you do lots of 3D modelling, rendering, or compute tasks, 4th gen (z97) would be more than plenty for you. It's not worth it for gaming.

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

As in, 4000 series and 5000 series?  Currently 5000 series is simply the extreme i7s, whereas 4000 is the normal Haswell i3, i5, i7 you expect.  Both are based on pretty much the same architecture.

IIRC, Haswell was 22nm, Broadwell is 14nm. Might have higher efficiency in terms of heat output and power usage.

The 5820K, 5930K and 5960X are different than the 4000 series chips in the fact that they are on a different platform (X99 compared to Z97 and X79, respectively). They also feature more physical cores. The 5820K and the 5930K both are hexa-cores, whiles the 5960X is an octa-core. On the other hand, consumer chips on the Z97 platform only have four physical cores. This is one of the major differences, of course there are also others such as the manufacturing process, which for Haswell is 22nm, while for Broadwell is 14nm.

This is the most detailed response, thus the mark solved. Thanks a lot!

 

But still thanks @Anarchyz11, @meltingtomato and @Analog!

On that note, one more thing - the desktop Broadwell chips are yet to hit stores. Once they do (my guess - Computex time, ~this summer), they'll be available for LGA1150 boards, and come with a new chipset. The X99 chips are Haswell-E, so not totally 5th gen.

Thanks in advance!

the main difference is that the 4th generation are out and actualy exists and the 5th gen does not!

Hope this help!

The X99 chips are Haswell-E, so not totally 5th gen.

not only do they are ''not totally'' 5th gen, they are NOT 5th gen at all...they are based on HASWELL which is intel's 4th generation of core processors...BROADWELL will be 5th gen if they ever hit the desktop market.

Go for a 4790k - 5XXX out there are too expensive and broadwell is playing hide and seek

They aren't too expensive... they are too expensive for just gaming. For work, they make sense.

x8xx and x9xx chips are always enthusiast edition i7s. x3xx are consumer i3, x5xx are consumer i5, and x7xx are consumer i7.

 

So for example

 

i7-5820k = enthusiast Haswell-E i7

i7-5775c = mainstream Broadwell i7 (not out yet)

i7-4790k = mainstream Haswell i7

i7-4930k = enthusiast Ivy Bridge-E i7

i7-3770k = mainstream Ivy Bridge i7

 

and so on

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

Kinda confused now, i5-4690K?
