POLL - Current CPU State 2017

[Not_Sean]

So just wondering with a show of hands, Whats you plans for CPU's in 2017.

 

Let me give a bit of a explanation on each one

 

1. Stay with what I got:

For me with a i7-3770 & i5-4690K I really see very very little reason to upgrade as I just won't see the FPS/$ as its new ram and MB. While I would love to upgrade to Ryzen I can't justify it.

 

2. Ryzen:

Yes its not the best, but the Value for money is insane and it is not like they are performing badly, just not as great as some of the intels. 

 

3. Intel coffee 

Its all about the FPS baby! Price is not much of a concern or Ryzen just isn't Developed enough for me. 

 

Lets try keep a flame war out of this. I'm more curious to see what people are planning with this been such a huge year for the CPU wars.

I'm a bit of a cheap ass and love my price to performance, which is why i got Ryzen  

 

I mainly game so I know that Intel would have been better(and cost more) but the Ryzen does come in handy when I occasionally stream, and I only play 1080p 75hz anyway, which Ryzen easily pushes out.

Thats exactly my thought process, If I were to do any upgrade it would be to a i7-4790K and call it a day, keep dreaming of building another Ryzen but the cheap ass inside me just doesn't see any point to it at all when its not like my FPS is low, that and I find myself gaming a lot less these days.

1. Stay with what I got:
Ryzen 1800x

 

Works great with parallel compute in c#

hahaha think you would fall under the Ryzen vote than as you did do the upgrade  was meaning the Stay with what I got thing more for guys with 6th gen/AMD FX  and earlier

[Bananasplit_00]

might go for a 7700K off the used market if Coffee Lake makes people upgrade crazy  otherwise im staying with what i have, which is an I7 4790K clocked anywhere from 4.5GHz to 5.1GHz depending on what im doing and wether or not it feels like its a good day or not lol

I might buy Ryzen 3, but my i5-750 is still doing great. I might get an i7-870 though, we'll see.

X58 is staying for a while more. Iv got no need for more power anyways.

I know it's not X58, but I agree, I'm still on an 1156 i5 and the only thing that's bad about it is the power draw.

I'm happy with my i7 5930K with its default settings, yeah 3.5 Ghz lol. It keeps up with my uses and to be frank, until there's a huge IPC performance bump, I'll stay with my X99 system. Plus, I love my motherboard so, yeah I don't want to steer away from EVGA's motherboards. Once I start seeing my processor holding me back. I will look into upgrading.

It depends on the point of view though, an i7-5930K at 3,5GHz has a relatively bad singlethreaded performance (slower than an i5-4590 in SC tests) and I'm almost certain that overclocking would give you performance benefits considering your GPU setup.

I mean. I see people constantly rave about better and better performance, and I keep thinking to myself "why would I possibly need that?". Sure, a better GPU would be nice for CAD/games, but otherwise even this Xeon is overkill for me.

All I need is a new PSU and a nice overclock on my 5870 and I'm set for the next few years.

staying with my 4790k then upgrading to x99 when xeon priced drop

[Zando_]

Add an option for LGA1366 Xeon overclocked as much as I can on air and I can vote...

I had a 5770, and damn was it slow. OCing doesn't do much in the way of GPU performance anyway, maybe a few FPS.

I'm staying with what I got. The two computers I use most have a Ryzen 7 1700 and an i7-6700T in them, and I see no real reason to upgrade either one anytime soon. If I do make a change, it would be swapping out my Gaming X 1070 for a Founder's Edition, but even that seems unnecessary.

 

Laptops, on the other hand...*looks over at his Thinkpad T500 and X61T*

[Clyne]

Shmm my z270 broke...Intel being like screw Kaby Lake support for Z370.

[Skanky Sylveon]

I purchased a 1920x, soooo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intel 

Just kidding

[WereCat]

I am fine for at least another year with my 4770k.

Or you know.....overclocking

[Guest]

I already got Ryzen like 2-3 months ago lol. Huge improvement over my old 7870k

[Inkz]

Well for my desktop I think my 4770k is still good for a while. And for my laptop I got a 6820hk, so the only thing that would even make me consider upgrading that would be if new GPUs come out and I get the new CPU as part of the deal. Other than that it does not make financial sense for me, nor would I perceive a difference most of the time.

[AncientNerd]

For the rest of 2017 I am in wait and see mode - I am planning on pulling the trigger early 2018. So for me it is "stay with what I have" but mostly because I just upgraded to a TB of SSD and a faster GPU earlier this year so my budget is blown for 2017...2018 on the other hand is another story.

[Shreyas1]

Problem is that to upgrade to coffee lake or ryzen, I would need a new motherboard. I might as well upgrade to an i7 7700 or something

[Not_Sean]

So what I'm drawing from this, and the poll seems to support it is thanks to intel milking CPU's for everything they worth and AMD been unable to compete even though this is one of the times to get a CPU even at the "Best" the difference just isn't worth the money. 

 

That said this is also slightly skewed by many on here having K CPU's so soon as they slow down just OC them a bit more. very interesting and not something people mention when suggesting buying a K over a locked one. 

 

Think next year is going to be very interesting, and can't wait for the market share reports on consumer CPU's (Will take a long time for Servers to see change as most companies only change them every 3-5years)
