I9 general

Was i9 just a marketing reaction to AMD?
Is getting more than 4 cores a meme to begin with?
Should I wait till August for an i9, or get the 7700k now?

Getting anything over a 2 core is a meme. I mean nothing can use more than 4threads anyways. Just buy a G4560

does having more cores make it easier to load up and play 8 porn videos simultaneously?

in other words, how well does google chrome take advantage of multiple cores?

>Was i9 just a marketing reaction to AMD?
Of course.
>Is getting more than 4 cores a meme to begin with
If you're actually doing real work that demands performance you wouldn't have to ask this.
>Should I wait till August for an i9, or get the 7700k now?
Stick to your mainstream i7/i5s, kid.

Chrome just needs more ram. It doesn't give a shit even if you have a 32 core cpu

>doing real work
I do scientific computing, but the software I use doesn't seem to benefit greatly from multiple cores. The latest documentation shows 2x speedup when using 16 cores vs 4 cores
>i5
nvm, opinion discarded

>i9 general
lol fuck off

I'll eat your fucking liver you ISIS scum

>I'm not poor
Has nothing to do with it OP, it's just the logical choice at certain price points. Please get some new memes.

what would you suggest then?
is the threadripper worth waiting for?
how many cores is too many?

Designing software that takes advantage of parallelism isn't exactly easy

Hopefully we'll see it more often now

Kind of depends on what you do on your computer, it's not like there's some optimal choice that's the absolute best in every use-case

Depends on how much your income is affected by it.

Having anything 6/8 cores at max is pointless if you don't make money off of it

Nigga, you need to know. Ain't using your computer. You're the one using your computer. Are editing videos and.shit? Are you a nasa scientist? If yes then go fall for the moar cores meme.

If you only jerk your dick off and play shitty games then go for dual or quad-core.

nobody needs more than half a core. that said, the Intel® Core™ i9 microprocessor looks to be an amazing product and you should probably preorder it to reserve your copy before benchmarks hit and stock supplies vanish.

I want to use it for scientific computing (discrete optimization), as well as for everyday shit. I also wanna hook up a 4k tv up to it and play shit in the background while I work

If you want to multitask a lot and the work the you do benefits from more cores, then go with Ryzen. The 1700 is a good choice if you don't want to spend that much, or you if you want something beefier you can wait for threadripper.

it was a panic reaction...
they didnt expected to amd to be so competent
otherwise they wouldnt release such a monstrocity with a tdp so high that when you OC it it will go up to 300 watts..

Literally no reason to buy an i9 unless you like being fucked in the ass by intel.

is 7700k worth buying?

Low-quality post, considering not all of us live in the third world.

It makes sense, considering i7s have been high end up to the heavens. It breaks the confusion between an i7 and a i7 super extreme deluxe edition.

Do you want the best possible gaming performance with little regard to price? The 7700k is great. Other than that, it's not a BAD buy, just not great compared to Ryzen. Especially when you can get a 1700 for the same price and get better performance in most things you would get a $300 CPU for. Or save money and get a 1600(x).

>being this retarded
The i9 series is perfect for you, OP. Don't forget your RAID dongle and enjoy the power of the bingbus :ddddddd

>I'm not poor
your mind is

how about the 1800x, is that strictly better than the 1700 and 1700x?

How does the single thread/core performance compare between the two? I'm having an incredibly tough time deciding on the CPU I want. I want a intel that overclocks to 5 Ghz for meme purposes (dwarf fortress) but If I'm doing that I need a z based motherboard, I might as well get fast ram to utilize it, I need a not cheap watercooling system like the H115, I need a not shit SSD etc and if I'm shilling out to be able to overclock a quad core to that speed I can't reasonably justify trying to save money by getting an i5 and I can't reasonably justify buying the i7350k because you have to get all those other expensive components to utilize it.

i7-7700k seems like the only not retarded choice for that specific scenario. I'd find ways to use the performance even if its just running a bunch of VM's to troll people in chat clients and multibox games.

>better performance
Kek

>re purposed xeon

enjoy your 2.5 ghz

threadripper is going to hit 3.7 easily

Yes. However, like the 7700k it's not necessarily worth the price. Remember that(by default) it doesn't come with a cooler unlike the 1700. All the chips are also unlocked, so with a bit of luck you can OC the 1700(x) to the same levels as the 1800x. If you don't want to OC or don't feel like playing the silicon lottery, the 1800x is a pretty impressive product, just not strictly worth it compared to the 1700(x).

The IPC is about on par(depending on exactly what you're doing), so it comes down to clockspeed. Ryzen can get to about 4.1GHz with a little luck while after delidding you can get the 7700k to 5GHz. So that's about 22% difference between the two.

But honestly, if all you need is the best possible single-core performance? Just get the i3 and spend the money you saved to get yourself nice mechanical keyboard or headphones or something. Yeah, it might feel a little silly to spend all that money on other things and then spend like $50 on a CPU, but I'd rather feel a little silly than waste $200 for no reason.

Spoken like someone who's never watched 5+ streams at once. Get good.

Is what I was setting up for. Though I'm looking to switch out the motherboard for something with actual M2 ports. I know this isn't PC building general but I've been looking for input. I could save a couple hundred by switching to the i3-7350k both in terms of the CPU price and the cost of cooling etc. However I'm min maxing single core performance a shit ton including SSD and RAM speed. I've had current PC since 2011. I plan on buying everything on cyber monday so I'm mainly just research what makes a good component and what I'm ideally trying to fit together. My priority system basically goes like this.

CPU single core speed > M2 evo 960 or 960 pro 500gb > DDR4 3200-4000 ram > best price for performance mid-high range GPU 1920p gaming only w/ no VR, Motherboard that fits everything > gold/plat power supply that is at least double the watts > Case without a window that isn't shit (cable management, HDD/SSD slots, dust filters etc, lack of LED's is a plus)

>best price for performance mid-high range GPU 1920p gaming only
So... are you looking to play just games like Dwarf Fortress, or do you actually care about playing AAA games as well? Because most new games actually DO use multiple cores, and for that getting an i7 would actually make sense, since even an i5 will often get quite low minimums(which causes stuttering). On the other hand, if you DON'T plan to play AAA games, spending that much money on GPU doesn't really make much sense.

Also, don't get the 1060 3GB. Either get the 570/580(the 570 prices should return to that level if you're not planning to buy it now anyway) or go up to 1060 6GB. Getting 3GB of VRAM in 2017 is just not a good idea.

>what would you suggest then?
Not buying Delidlake and Delidlake X
>is the threadripper worth waiting for?
If you actually use your computer for productivity instead of just shitposting on 4chin
>how many cores is too many?
For you, a single core, since you are such a massive pleb

Define triple AAA games. I've specifically not gotten some recent games because my GPU is actual shit (GTS 450). I'd buy games like Civ VI, Warhammer Total War expansion packs, the Witcher 3, the next elderscrolls/fallouts, MMO's etc. I however rarely buy games on release because I like to see if they're shit before buying them. I don't buy every triple AAA game ever released and I play CPU intensive games a lot of the time. Another game that DESTROYS my PC is Out of the Park Baseball 2015. You can limit your league size and player pool to get great performance but those games are literally just reading/generating like XML databases and running number crunching stuff, basically no graphics. I also Multibox mine in EVE Online, run modded minecraft servers, program video games, program desktop applications for personal use (neither of these are actually very strenuous on my PC).

I guess what I'm more trying to ask is what sort of cool stuff can you do with an overclocked i7. I'm less interested in what I need for what I do right now, though I do have my requirements, I'm also interested in what having performance like that will allow me to do. Is there any cool meme shit you can do with an overclocked powerhouse i7 beyond LOLXD HELPS ME RENDER 4K VIDEO XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. I'm not knocking the task, that's just all anyone ever mentions.

what if you can run 4 programs at 1x speed vs 1 program at 2x speed

>should I buy now or later
>I'm not poor
If you are really not poor, why not both?
Why not buy a Ryzen aswell if you are so fucking rich?

Fucking retard

Man I'm so glad Intel is getting brutally anal raped by AMD. Intel's new line up is a complete fucking trash that was rushed to try to compete with Ryzen.

Intel deserve this.

No, get a 1600 or 1700 for cheaper. It's on par with the 7700K in a lot of games, but new games coming out are using more cores, so the 7700K will age very bad in the near future.

>I'm not poor
>GTX 1060 3GB

Didn't Intel recently release a statement telling people NOT to overclock the 7700K due to heating issues?

you must buy special card to unlock overclocking feature

Elder scrolls, Fallout, etc. are all AAA games. CPU heavy games will definitely benefit from i7 over i3.

Chrome is highly threaded. But will tax ram harder. No general web browsing and streaming will tax an 8 core with st least 16gb of ram.

You do realize that even Cod4:Modern Warfare was able to use 4 cores even though they just started appearing in consumer market .

jew

I'm buying an i9 so I can actually get 60 fps in Arma 3

>Get 1800x
>Stop getting an expensive cpu
>I9 release
>Get a 1800x
> I am not a poor fag

Holy shit this is sad Intel drone

i wish they would just switch engines, isnt it still the same engine from arma 1/2?

>Should I wait till August for an i9, or get the 7700k now?

Both are retarded options, coffee lake is right around the corner and getting x299 is retarded iif you have no use for it.

>I'm not poor
Only poor people say that they aren't poor.

>60fps
>arma 3
Dream on

>Arma 3
yet another Sup Forumsirgin
fuck off, grown men are talking

Arma 3 just started getting multi threaded. Your best hope is getting moar coars if you want any chance of achieving more than 30fps
