Skylake vs Haswell/Haswell-E

[Boxing Kitten]

1. Which platform do you champion?

2. Why?

3. Do you plan to switch?

4. Do you regret your selection?

5. Do you use your rig's platform for your and its intended purpose? 

 

[rphawks]

3. Nope

4. Nope

5. Yes. ^ See above

These platforms are tools. Rather than asking if a hammer is better than a screwdriver, one might ask what is the best use for each.

What if I tell you that hammer is indeed better than a screwdriver... because if you can't screw the shit out of it, break it with the hammer till the screw comes out

1. Had the G3258 @ 4.6Ghz now with a i3-6100, even though there not the same 'tier cpu' skylake.

2. Higher IPC, also there is a noticable difference between performance between two CPUs from Haswell and Skylake (of the same tier)

3. I have skylake

4. I dont regret it at all, only thing I regret doing is not goingfor an i5 (somewhat)

5. Gaming, progamming, youtube, does its job.

I currently have Skylake, runnin happy with my i7-6700k.  I got it because it was the best without going X99 and I don't need more than 4 cores right now.  I plan to upgrade when I need to,  I am studying game design and rendering 3D models and packaging levels in UTE4 is easy right now but if I need more horsepower I'll upgrade.  I don't regret it at all.  I use my rig for high end gaming and game development, I use 3Ds Max, UTE4, Photoshop. I play so0o0o0ooo many games (over 180 in my Steam library alone).

Ah, but the screwdriver is better than the hammer. A single stab can kill.

Shit sorry I'll fix it lol.

Use the spiky end of the hammer and it's arguably more deadly.

1. Haswell-e

2. I like 18 core xeons

3. No

4. Not really, as I can't afford x99

5. No. most of the time I would barely use a g4400s potential, but the other 4% or so a ridiculous 24 core Xeon would be nice

i7-4790K.

2. Why?

My wife moved to X99 and her 4790K had no home, so I put my 4690K in the HTPC and took the 4790K.

Maybe once Intel and AMD have some decent competition.

Haha, no.

Yes, as it processes compute units centrally (depending on which anagram you go for).

[xwboy]

1. Skylake

2. Cheaper, especially with sales

3. No

4. I bought a 6700k which is the most expensive I could go with my budget. No complaints.

5. Yes - editing, streaming, and gaming are all great for the price. If I went with X99 I could get more editing performance, but it's not worth it in my opinion.

You need to follow back the quotes. Then it will make sense . . . sort of.

Uhhh...cause you use a screwdriver to build a PC and a scewdriver is a tool and a hammer is also a tool...?

When someone comes in here talking about how underrated Vishera is, we can hit them with the pointy end of the hammer and put a stop to it.

I wish quote within a quote would be a thing in LTT but then some people don't remove them and you get too many quotes
