BobHoward posted:You can almost always get 90% of the performance for way less than 90% of the money. From the manufacturer's point of view the reason for the premium line is to extract fat profits from people with deep pockets who have to have the fastest thing, not to give you a bargain deal on something that'll last forever. This is especially true in this case: for 99% of gamers, regular Haswell is a much better choice than Haswell-E. You can get a 4.0 GHz Haswell for $350 or less and it will be every bit as good as that 5930K for essentially all games for the forseeable future.

So based on current rumors, unless I plan on stepping up multithread dependency of things I run on my home desktop (which is a strong maybe with SQL/Hadoop stuff if I decide I want to bring work home with me even more), decide I need multiple GPUs (I don't, I'm running a 1440x900 single monitor off a 970  ), or plan on putting tonnes of drives into a new setup (I don't, my old rig becomes a NAS for that), Skylake doesn't necessarily afford me any huge improvements over Haswell or Broadwell; or necessarily even current Lynnfield chip (aside from efficiency, but I'm not running a data centre out of my apartment)? Seems like I can wait for Skylake and hop on the clearance LGA1150 bandwagon perhaps. Thanks for the input.

Is there anything on the horizon to replace Silvermont for SoC storage servers? Newegg.ca is selling octocore Avotons for 20% off and my bonus is burning a hole in my wallet.

Boiled Water posted:5. Power efficiency is more valuable than single core performance. If 3dMark started giving score/W, enthusiasts might finally accept this as the current biggest driver of chip development but until that happens you're just going to have to keep listening to people complain about the gigahertz.

2017: Intel needs to release faster processors with more cores. 2018: Intel shouldn’t have launched more processors.

Palladium posted:I remembered very clearly that my hand-me-down Celeron 333A thrashed the poo poo out of my K6-2 500MHz in every PC game and was also a ton more stable in Win98. My big upgrade off a 486 was to a K6-2 500. Even after I threw in an AGP Radeon 7200, Half Life chugged so hard. Good times playing CS b5.2 and TFC at a glorious 12 FPS.

Can’t wait for the one guy trying to dunk on Intel for having net profit and not socializing hyperthreading for the people realizes they also spend $11B/ quarter on plant & equipment because it turns out manufacturing microprocessors is expensive. Or that the primary driver for revenue growth is modems.

Been receiving biweekly delivery pipeline updates since March because Dell’s delays are so bad we have to defer new hire start dates; we don’t have computers to give new employees. It’s real out there, folks.
