fastest CPU for LGA1150?

[Rocko]

What is the fastest CPU for LGA1150 not specifically for gaming. Is there anything faster than the i7-4790K?

4790K

[Guest]

Not really sure why you'd want specifically speed, any reason? 

[TheRandomness]

4790k overclocked. 5775c overclocked.

[Stefan1024]

Only an overclock 4790k is faster.

But the siliconlottery dont sell them anymore.

[Curufinwe_wins]

Specifically for gaming the 5775C overclocked is by far the best LGA1150 cpu.

 

For other tasks, the lower top clocks of the 5775C make it basically on par with overclocked 4790k.

I'd disagree with this statement entirely.

 

In a gaming system with a discrete GPU, the 5775c and 4790k are pretty much equal in every benchmark I've seen.

In some crucial CPU benches though, the 4790k performs much better...

 

You are paying an extra $80USD for integrated graphics, while sacrificing CPU grunt at the same time.

I see no reason to opt for a 5775C, or say that it is faster/better than the 4790k

The 5775C is LITERALLY THE BEST QUAD CORE GAMING CPU (single gpu) ON THE PLANET after overclocking (and stock to stock it outperforms the 4790k).

I never said it was worth it, but that doesn't change the truth.

Until you realize the 6600k is a thing. Sell the LGA 1150 mobo (and maybe DDR3, if yuo have it), and it'll be enough to make up the price difference for a complete Skylake setup (considering a Broadwell CPU).

 

Though yes, the 5775c is the best LGA 1150 CPU out there.

Skylake is an INSANE waste of money.

 

Broadwell also doesn't make sense to buy unless you "need to have the best", or if you want a super APU.

 

Again I never said value. For value, the 4790k is a much better buy than a 6600k skylake build (at least in US where a 4790k is often cheaper than a 6600k as is the rest of the parts).

You know that Skylake is the best raw performance CPU for pretty much any app that uses up to 4 cores, thanks to it's superior IPC and OCing headroom.... don't you?

 

Also, I agree, the 4790k offers better value for most things. But it isn't the fastest CPU out there.

And the 4790k is still better than the 6600k... Stock to stock and OC to OC...

 

Skylake has pretty abysmal overclocking headroom compared to Haswell-refresh...

 

As I have already stated...

It does out-preform the 6700k at the same clock speeds due to eDRAM actually helping.

Sources please.

[Curufinwe_wins]

Sources please.

You mean other than the 4 I've listed thus far?

 

Here. This is purely stock to stock to stock. And the 5775C wins the plurality of matchups (8 to 4 head to head) against the 6700k. At a MUCH MUCH lower clock speed.

• Skip to the page which also includes the 6600k results plz. For every single test out there, all CPUs were within margin of error, being effectively equal in terms of performance. With the difference that for the vast majority of the other tests, the 6th gen just runs away with the crown.
• OCing, as well, your own source says Skylake > Broadwell.
• Skylake allows a future expansion to Kaby Lake. Say, sell your pentium / i3 / i5 now and jump to a 7th gen i7 later.
• Z170 has better IO. And also DDR4, which would be reusable in the future.

Once again, neither the 5th or 6th gen offer the best value. But the 6th also offers the best raw performance. What you are trying to say is that Intel decided to sit on their asses and not do any sort of work, which is both illogical and contradicts the benchmarks we have.

No, what it means is eDRAM HELPS A FUCK TON. DUH... 128MB of effectively L4 cache helps? WOW Crazy thought there...

 

You want to see what Skylake with eDRAM is going do? Wait until Q4 2016... BTW it WILL take the performance crown, without question, even though Kaby Lake will also be out at the same time.

 

You know why Skylake isn't often compared with Broadwell on desktop? Because it's only marginally better clock for clock. Even less than the 5% we normally see.

 

 

Margin of Error argument literally just leads back to the 4790k.

 

NO SKYLAKE CPU IS A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT IN THE US. END OF STORY.

[Curufinwe_wins]

Finally... NONE OF THIS IS RELEVANT. OP asked what the fastest CPU on LGA 1150 was...

 

There cannot be any dispute that what I said was EXPLICITLY correct.

 

Specifically for gaming the 5775C overclocked is by far the best LGA1150 cpu.

 

For other tasks, the lower top clocks of the 5775C make it basically on par with overclocked 4790k.

All your angst over skylake is utterly irrelevant.

On the planet? What have you done?! lol.

 

Now I know how the skylake debate started on this thread

 

Though i read all of your links (before I posted originally btw), I guess I just saw a pretty even match bench for bench. And when two parts perform roughly the same,and one costs $80 more; I wouldn't classify the more expensive one as the better of the two.

 

I guess I'm just saying that the performance is so similar between them, with maybe a slight edge to the 5775C, that you have to consider the cost in part of the overall "score" to break the tie, which in my opinion, makes the 4790k the better chip overall.

 

 

On another note, Has anyone seen a benchmark comparison between the 4790k and 5775C, both overclocked? I guess I could look up benchmarks on my own and compare, but I'm just curious to see but I have been unable to see a comparison in the same article. not even to

argue 5775C vs 4790k, just wondering lol
