The Bay Trail and newer stuff really isn't too bad. Those machines almost always have eMMC storage, instead of spinning rust, which makes them feel more responsive.

I still use a 2010 AMD netbook. Has a single Kaveri core, but with a fresh Win 10 install and an extra 2GB RAM it's still fine for sitting there playing music through the stereo at work. I wouldn't want to use it for anything more demanding, though.

Anyone know where I compare Intel CPUs clock for clock? Like Say when Broadwell-E comes out on consumer side, I want to compare Haswell to Broadwell-e clock for clock.

Just look at the various review sites when they do their reviews of Broadwell-e, they will most likely OC each CPU to the same speed and compare performance across a wide variety of applications, at least that is what they have done in the past.

No idea how they obtain it, but if they're half decent it should give you an idea how much faster a certain CPU is compared to another one.

Someone gave me this motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z87E-itx/ but it doesn't list the CPU I was going to buy for it in the CPU support list. Is that likely because it flat out wouldn't support it or because they just haven't bothered testing it? This is the CPU I want to buy for it: i5-5675C

it'll need a new bios, if it'll work at all (some manufacturers don't give new bios to their previous generation same socket boards) i won't count on it though

I'm more interested in a single core clock for clock comparison. This would, I thought, show how improved one architecture is over another.

Unfortunately, Z87 boards don't support the 5675/5775. If you look on the BIOS download list for for the one you got, the latest CPUs supported are the 4690K/4790K, which you'll have to settle for unless you want to keep looking for a Z97 motherboard. P.S. Is this still the build that's going into the really tiny case?

This is the CPU I want to buy for it: i5-5675C I think the Broadwell CPUs can only use the Z97 chipset. It's possible some manufacturer has backported support to Z87 but it's a couple of years old so it's not super likely. You should look at an i5-4690K or i7-4790K.

KingEup posted:Yeah, I thought I lucked out for a second there. How soon do you need this DOTA console? Alienware Alphas (or Alienware Steam Machines, or Syber (CyberPowerPC) Steam Machines) are still nice for something in that same form factor, especially if a coupon code pops up to slash its price. Its built-in GTX 860M actually edges out the Broadwell's Iris 6200 in performance. You're really not going to see more power in a teenytinybox like that unless you pony up to pre-order the new Skull Canyon NUC (and the parts for it that you have to fill in) or wait for whatever Syber is going to be putting in their new C-series.

I haven't followed the Broadwell-E rumors all that closely. Does it seem like there may be any possibility of them being significantly faster than Haswell-E? I doubt it, but thought I would ask as I bought a 5820k, and I really like it, but at the same time I kinda would like a 40-lane CPU if I can recover maybe 2/3rd's of what I paid for it :P Also: if anyone is interested in an i5 2500k, I have one that I no longer need. Only pay shipping. The reason I'm not trying to sell it is because it's an old cpu, and on top of the build I had it in has some stability problems, so there is some risk that it is this cpu I'm offering, so you'd have to decide whether it is worth the risk of paying S&H for or not.

KinkyJohn posted:What's the best CPU for rendering in Maxwell? I heard it's very CPU intensive. Do you mean like CAD or something? A Haswell-E if you can afford it. But you'll probably want a Quadro series Maxwell. For gaming, the 4690K or 6600K are the best values. The 4790K and 6700K are better, but you could also get a 5820K at around the same price.

If a Xeon isn't an option the 5820K seems like the obvious choice. If its anything like raytracing in revit, they're CPU bottlenecked but can scale to as many cores as you can throw at it so Xeons usually fare well because you're getting 8+ of them or whatever. the problem generally is that lots of this software when you're moving through a 3d model normally its bottlenecked on a single CPU thread, so you have to balance CPU clock for normal usage and massive parallelism for render jobs. this could all be sorted out if they just dumped the render jobs to OpenCL/CUDA where it belongs but: LOL that industry is so hosed I'm not holding my breath. What we're currently doing is issuing a normal i5 system with a high clock speed/4 cores for normal design/review usage and then we keep a pool of 2 or 3 high-end xeon desktops with a bunch of cores that people RDP in to when they need to fire off the render job because that is less common.

Friend who works for Intel just told me that they are laying of 12000 jobs which is apparently 11% of their workforce. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-19/intel-cuts-12-000-jobs-forecast-misses-as-pc-blight-takes-toll That's uh, a big amount.

Sadly as a Contractor, I am sort of left out of the loop on all the real Intel inside news and goodness so I have to rely on my Intel buddies here for details, inside job postings, etc. :/ It's a foot in the door at least, but it looks like it may not open for a while at this rate.
