8th gen i5 Intel

[timtexx]

WHat do you guys think , will the new 8th Gen Intel procesors be better than the old gen i7?  

[ArduinoBen]

Performance wise, I don't think so.  Efficiency and stuff wise, yes.

Let me get my crystal ball. It says. NOTHING. Just wait..

6 Cores will still be worse then 4 cores with 8 threads?

depends which generation you consider old

i mean r5 1600 isn't that faster than i7 6700/7700 gaming wise if we're considering core count only

I meant the 7700 or 6700 i7 , yea but 1600 is better for gaming and streamign right?

In terms of compute performance, 6c6t will beat 4c8t most of the time, assuming same architecture* and clock. Under rare circumstances they'll be equal, and there may be some theoretical case where more threads help with non-intensive work (like IO operations maybe?).

 

*I'd assume here that Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake are the same architecture, outside of some very specific niches.

Those 6 cores will have hyperthreading.  So 12 threads.

I was talkign bout the i5 of coffe lake they got 6/6

You need a R5 1600x at 4ghz and 3200mhz RAM to equal an i7 6700.

Talking gaming only yea , what about other stuff like streaming?

Pretty sure thats only for coffee lake i7's, as they're 6c/12t. Can't see the i5's also being 6c/12t as that makes them redundant with the i7's being the same. Not to mention i5's have never had hyperthreading in the past.

i5 are leaked to have no hyperthreading so only 6 cores

Simple, QuickSync with the iGPU... People will say quality is not perfect then again it beats me to understand what is it with this whole streaming deal and need to make it perfect when you don't even have an audience.

I dont care about the perfect quality aslong as i dont stutter ingame with stable 60 fps , i streamed with a ps4 and my stream was crappy and peaople still came cuz of me not the quality of the stream hehe D:
