The Ryzen 7 technically scores higher in Cinebench

Not even close to 8700k OC in gaming and those 12 threads help alot in multitasting

Cinebench is for kids,u whant scores and numbers get threadripper/i9 or xeon 123456789 for that!

blindsided .... too bad too bad

(or not that much blind ... you recommend a Threadripper, tho a 2600X 2700 would be enough and way cheaper than a Xeon or threadripper, or a :roll:

i7 +2 for the marketing name) the R7 has more thread than the 8700K

tho on OC departement ... meh ...

closer than you think unless ou really think 5fps is a huge gape.(in the case of a 2600X)

too bad it's 1XXX instead of 2XXX, although even R5 or R7 1XXX are up to the task and close enough to Intel's counterpart to use the hammer they carry in our avatar (need an update ahah

)

way to go for me next is a R5 2600X over any 8600K or 8700K, specially for the price ahah (or for the resolution i play at... 1440/1620p )

(worth mentioning ... it's not only in Cinebench it can score higher or closer

)

Edit: Shall stay ontopic i think?!

again with on topic (at last it's not a "stay polite"? well you didn't answer last time on "what wasn't polite" )

it was slightly on topic, discussing about the latest acquisition from another user

although ... well did i talk about cinebench? 5fps is not a cinebench difference ahah ... (although you do realise that you are basically calling a lot of user "kids" or "boy" well there could be girls too ... you know ...

)

on topics: garage sale can be surprising ...

2 little game i loved, but i don't know why i didn't had them in my collection....

2$ pce ~ but that not the surprise .... stuck in DSII box :

a uSD 128gb UHS-I CL10

luccckkkkkkkyyyyyyyy (fortunately empty and seemingly brand new )

Still have my copy of Max Payne 2 from relase to retail, same one as you posted of.

Wonder how fast it would run over Ryzen's six cores? :laugh:

well i would be surprised if it ran with more than 2 core .... :laugh:

but even in that occurrence, i'd say around 5 fps lower than a 8700K :roll:

(at 1440p/1620p, at 1080 it might be 8fps slower

)

Max Pain 2 was a neat addition to my old and still extremely good collection

Komshija · May 24, 2018

They make PC or laptop 5% faster. Guaranteed.

Bottom three purchased recently, i5 sticker & manual given for free at one PC shop long time ago - I nicely asked for them and got a few of them for free.

Flanker · May 26, 2018

Got this new PC in late Feb. It's the one in my spec. Loving this mITX build

While this case is pretty awesome overall, that graphics card holder can't deal with the 2+ slot size of the Gigabyte card. So that feature is useless lol.

Disparia · Jun 3, 2018

Not bad, on sale + coupon.

Here is a small upgrade I got for a goods price, this here is my first Intel X chipset and cpu

I had to order Thermalright LGA2011 Retention Kit so I can fit my trusty legancy old True cooler on this cpu too :roll:

Komshija · Jun 7, 2018

Not the newest tech, but still respectable old Core 2 Duo T9900. Miraculously, this one is clocked up to 3,2 GHz instead of 3,06 GHz!

CPU arrived today and it works like a charm.

Old P8700 and new T9900. Yes, that was me who scratched P8700 while removing/applying thermal paste somewhere in the past. It still works well.

And bonus for the end: 3,2 GHz out of the box. Crazy! :laugh:

It surely deserved "Core 2 Extreme" sticker!

remixedcat · Jun 8, 2018

Model: OptiPlex 380
CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz 1066
RAM: 3.0 GB
HDD: 320GB (Seagate)

not bad for just 30 on ebay.

this'll be the new guest pc or backup HTPC.

and also ordered another logitech k400 keyboard, as well and that'll be the one for the pc noted above.

I think I'm up to like 30 some logitechs of various types here.... wow lol

it seems the theme of the year's acuisitions are laptops (both lenovo and dell), and dell desktops and logitechs... lol. not complainin tho it's been pretty neat.

still eyeing a dell poweredge server. I need a badass hyper-v or esxi server. much needed for software dev'ing.

Shou Miko · Jun 8, 2018

My setup looks better now with white wire on the 24pins

I know trying to apply the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut ain't the best u might have seen I hope it's good enough :roll:

It's not mine but my brother helped make this card (PCB designer & engineer)... And I'm so proud!!

Shou Miko · Jun 12, 2018

I got my second handed Creative Sound Blaster Z today, because honestly the onboard Realtek ALC1220 chip was just disappointing with my Audio-Technica ATH-A550Z.

I came from onboard Creative Core3D on my old Z270.
