16 cores, 32 threads at 3.6 :)
each CPU or both collectively?
mind you, that's two packages
collectively
older xeons?
E5 2680 v1's
what architecture is that again?
sub Ivy right?
I had some 2650v2's which are basically the same
before Ivy
no, those are Ivy Bridge
orly
neat
v2 is sandy bridge
I have an Ivy Bridge E i7 4820k
ah nice
yeah, the 3000 series was on the LGA 1366 boards
It has great single-thread and multithread, but I want more multithread for encoding
same with X5000 series xeons
the turbo boost from that generation was shit
it didn't have multi-step, and it was either all or none as far as cores go
so you either had all of your cores turbo boosting, or none
when it comes to CPU's a high single-thread performance 8-core with hyptread is pretty future proof
gonna last like 4 years ez
4th gen fixed that
I'm looking to upgrade to some 2670 v2's when they start retiring those and the price goes down
right now they're like 250 for one
the 2680 v1's that I got were 110 each
also the cool thing with an 8-core, make your primary 4-cores faster for gaming, and allocate 4 for streaming since they are under the consistent load of the encoding you have set
I wouldn't buy a xeon though, this is for personal rig
this is my personal rig
honestly love them, it's still snappy
so I want 8700k st with 8core multi
but the st is so low with xeons
it's slower, you're right
great for media servers and video, but not for gaming alone
if you do gaming and recording, 8-core with high st is best imo
but for what I do, it's good, none of my games are all that hurt by it
so my graphics drivers just vanished from my computer
what do you do?
