Dr. Gaius Baltar posted:I'm planning on buying a 2500K when it's released on January 5th, just in time for the big early January holiday sales season. I wonder what are the chances that I'll end up regretting not getting Bulldozer over this. Say, if Bulldozer is released in June 2011 and has 30%+ more price/performance. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20101105133510_AMD_to_Start_Production_of_Desktop_Bulldozer_Microprocessors_in_April.html posted:Production candidates should be ready by February and the initial production of the company's first desktop microprocessors powered by the long-awaited Bulldozer micro-architecture is scheduled to start in April next year. Probably, the launch of the chip will occur around the same timeframe.

Does anyone know if (U)EFI will be the default on the motherboards coming out with SB (which would be sweet!)? Think I saw a video by some Swedish site previewing UEFI, but I don't know if it was a SB-related thing or not. Anyone?

And even if the first EFI implementations are just as bad as BIOS, isn't EFI upgradable in a much more feasible way than BIOS, so that when the actual good implementations arrive, everyone (more or less) can reap the benefits?

Ika posted:After my order was pushed back 2+ weeks, I picked up a 2500K locally. However everything inside the CPU box appeared to be flipped 180 degrees, which I noticed because the CPU wasn't fully visible. Has anyone else had this or did I get a return? (Seals were still fine, heatsink is unused, but I managed to open it without damaging the seals as well, and the inside of the cover flap had marks on it from the 2 inside flaps).

movax posted:Sorry, I'm a bit hungover, so I can't really tell if there's any sarcasm intended, but the parts my Sandy Bridge build replaced did filter down to be "just" my fileserver (C2D w/ 8GB RAM). I'm sure another four years from now, my Sandy Bridge parts will find their way to the server.

mayodreams posted:Just doing a simple GIS for video card box art delivers. More ontopic: I honestly had higher hopes for Skylake. No USB 3.1 support on chip seems like a cop out. I've been following the thread quite closely, but it's quite unclear to me still what the next desktop chip will be post-Skylake. I guess it's not all that strange since many chips have been pushed back by now. What's next at the moment though, Kaby lake? Released 2016 sometime? I was expecting to upgrade to Skylake but at this point I figure I might as well keep the 2500k a while longer.

WobblySausage posted:The core of this rig is about six years old now. Could it be TIM degradation or a loose heatsink maybe? I haven't touched the thermal paste since I initially installed my CPU. I want to pass this down to a relative while getting an upgrade, but not if it's unsafe. Oh and it will never be "unsafe". The worst thing that will happen, should your processor think "it's getting a bit hot in here ..." is that it'll throttle itself down to a safer speed. We're past the AMD Athlon-frying-itself-days. Edit: There was one more page

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Ehhh, 50%/5GHz was rare but some people got them that high on high end air cooling, 40%/4.6GHz was pretty average, 30%/4.2GHz was what you got on a bum chip.  4.4 was as far as mine would go, admittedly with sub-par overclocking skills.

My phone shoots 2160p video which is a major headache to edit and render compared to 720p/1080p. Not to mention trying to record and mix multiple 24bit audio tracks using a DAW like Reaper.

Hello thread. I decided to upgrade (buying used) from a 2500k to a 4790k because for some reason changing graphics cards half a year ago made me unable to overclock my 2500k anymore. No idea why, but good god is this thing old either way. I'm getting some fancy 16gb of 2400mhz ram to go with it, anyone knows how important speed is on Devils Canyon? I have another 8gb laying around from my 2500k but that's rated for 1600mhz so I'm thinking putting it in would just lower over all performance anyway since I'm not using a lot of RAM at any given point.
