Title: What do you guys think about Octa-Core Intel? Post by: Newbiemon on July 06, 2014, 12:28:10 AM http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/20/intel-extreme-edition-eight-core-cpu/ (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/20/intel-extreme-edition-eight-core-cpu/)
i think its pricey at 999$ but again its octa core and have serious overclocking potential 8) Title: Re: What do you guys think about Octa-Core Intel?

I know some on that bought a cpu for like €850 and he only use his pc for browsing, emails, watching movies. A good waste of money. Title: Re: What do you guys think about Octa-Core Intel? Post by: Nobitcoin on July 07, 2014, 02:49:13 PM Can it crack a bitcoin address? Otherwise not interested ::)

Post by: boymilk on July 07, 2014, 04:27:50 PM When processors stopped getting any faster (per their gigahertz rating), we were told that multi-core was the way of the future. We were told that we would be using 4, 8, 16, even 32 core CPUs. But we're still stuck with dual core for the most part and quad core for high performance applications. :(
And didn't AMD already have an octa core CPU out a couple of years ago? Title: Re: What do you guys think about Octa-Core Intel?

To be fair, intel has hyperthreading. So, really, an octa-core is more like a 16 core processor. Also, intel has been working on the architecture. Intel blows AMD away at IPC, so 1 ghz intel vs 1 ghz amd, intel wins hands down. Also, I don't know a lot of people with just dual cores, mostly quad and hex core machines. ALSO, on server side of things, intel has a 10 core processor w/ hyperthreading that supports up to 8 sockets and 4 TB of RAM. So, you can have 80 cores / 160 threads on a single board w/ 4 TB of memory. Title: Re: What do you guys think about Octa-Core Intel? Post by: umairsaleem010 on July 08, 2014, 07:03:57 PM well waiting for the octa core from intel i know its better then amd octa core.. the dual core will be lower than the 8 core, which, if AMD FX-8___ is not a true 8 core because the cores share resources. It is more of an enhanced 4 core.
Well if it lowered to 500 dollars hope i will buy :) |
