Please refrain from posting if you don't know what you are talking about.
I am looking for someone who knows his stuff around CPUs or has the knowledge to advise me.
I am looking for some more cpu power and best bang for buck.
This guy runs a 4670k overclocked at 4,5 Ghz and has the following resources in usage;
I am running a 2600k overclocked at 4,5 Ghz and have the following resources in usage;
And this claims to be running a 8350 overclocked at 4,5 Ghz and has the following resources in usage;
Now is the last possible and if so why?
If I look at the following benchmarks, the 2600k is superior in most aspects than the 8350.
AnandTech | Bench - CPU
I realise the 8350 has 8 cores, but I am told those 8 cores share the same l2 cache and therefore aren't "real" physical cores.
I also realise that the 2600k single cores are significantely better than the single cores of the 8350.
I also realise that you can't compare frequency between brands and even between generations from the same brands.
Now according to the pic from the 8350, it seems to use even less than half of my resources.
Now my question to you knowledgeable people reading this, is this possible or is this guy frauding.
Cause I am thinking about getting the 3770k because my motherboard is a 1155 and I need more power, but I can pick up a 8350 with mobo for the same price as the 3770k.
And according to the benchmarks and guides I have read, the 2600k should be better on single core performance and better or at least on par with the 8350
Or do the 8 "physical" cores really matter so much that one can expect double performance!?!?!?
Part of me wants to believe the 8350 offers such performance with multiple HB/WoW clients so I can run many HBs, but the logical person in me tells me that this guy opened up 10 WoW clients and 10 HB clients and press paused on all the HBs that were running.
And please for the sake of my sanity, refrain from posting claims without proof and or claims that you can run 20 HBs with XXX cpu, except you are running Gatherbuddy on it.
