Why Core i7 is great for gaming
Just post a link to tech republic because that link you posted is useless. We have to view a blog type page that has 1 sentence of info and end up clicking the damn source link anyways...Why Core i7 is great for gaming
I'm still quite happy with my C2D that is stock @ 2.13Ghz but runs awesome @ 3.4Ghz. :)
http://techreport.com/articles.x/15818a pretty decent benchmark of the new chips, ..... my Xeon E3110 according to this benchmark is nearly as good in most applications as these chips. In 3 or 4 years when most software is written for many cores however one of these chips will be useful, but I don't see the need to buy one now.
Sho some benches because alot of reviews i have seen there have been no gains in the low end part of the cpu itself...
THIS IS SICK!:shock:
Damn it Is Intel trying to buy a cpu every 7 months

that's why some people like consoles
[QUOTE=''Dark_prince123'']Damn it Is Intel trying to buy a cpu every 7 months that's why some people like consoles[/QUOTE] you dont need to upgrade you know? the core 2 duo you bought 2 years ago can still play all the newest games on maximum settings. its called an ''OPTION'' if you want to have the best or for someone that hasnt upgraded for a long time. yeah thats why some people should just stick to consoles...
The new Core i7 is not very good when looking at the price as the new motherboards cost alot more and also memory cost a little more. The cheapest will cost about 40-50% (with motherboard an memory) more then a Q9550 system and you are way better off useing those money on a better video card.So unless you want the best of the best its not a very good cpu.
Seems paid off.They give no game settings or test setup information so as to be intentionally vague. i7 only outperforms the competition when it isn't GPU-limited, which means if you're going for a high-end, multi-GPU setup, then i7 is the optimal processor lineup for gaming. Otherwise, the IPC increase will be often stumped by GPU-limitation and the weak cache will cause many bandwidth and memory-hungry games to perform worse than Penryn, not better. i7 will also be better for a single card when we get significantly more powerful video cards (possibly with the next lineups), but even a GTX 280 is too much of a bottleneck at this point. So, for now, i7 isn't the processor to go for if you don't have the latest video cards in SLI/Crossfire (or a single 4870X2) to go with it.Their results are colored. Given the performance in HL2, I can only assume they're using a single video card. That makes it impossible that they're getting better performance in a memory and bandwidth-hungry game like Warhead than with the QX9770. I wouldn't trust those framerates numbers for the life of me.Their tone is too optimistic for what they're describing. Yes, it's potentially the best gaming processor, but it's too costly. Extremely expensive motherboards, the processor itself is expensive, expensive memory, and you have to throw down money for a 4870X2 or multiple GPU's for it to have that. And it doesn't even have good OC'ing capability. As of yet, it's good for wealthy ultra-enthusiasts only, most of whom have the smarts to wait things out and see what else comes up, wait for cheaper solutions that OC better and ultimately make for potentially even better high-end gaming solutions.The whole article just comes across as a purposeful buildup of the product to encourage sales from the gamer crowd, not an objective, realistic review to get a level-headed analysis of the technology. Go to more reputable sites for that.
