What's your CPU?

My desktop has an i7-3770k, but my laptop has some low end dual-core i5. 😉

Still rockin' an old Phenom II X6, clocked at 4GHz.

I personally have an i7-4790k @ 4.0Ghz.

It's still not a bad chip! A little aged, but it's more than reasonable for gaming with the proper GPU.

Nice! I would love to upgrade to an i7-5820k, but that's not going to happen for a long time. 🙁

You would be better off getting an i7-6700k instead of a i7-5820k for an upgrade.

For gaming, yes. However, I also stream, and that takes advantage of the extra cores, making it a better choice for my situation. :3

Just because it has more cores doesn't mean it better. 😉 If you were to go by that then Xeon would be the way to go, but that isn't the case. i7-6700k would be the better option since it is a multi-tasking CPU so it could handle streaming very well. Also gaming.

Up to you though it is your money. Just giving you some advice. 😛

The 5820k also benchmarks better than the 6700k from what I've read. I'm not basing my decision solely on the number of cores; it's just an added benefit since streaming utilizes multiple cores quite heavily. The 5820k also has more PCI Express lanes which is nice. :3

i have an amd fx 6300 - older processor (from 2012) but i like it so far. amd seems to do good processors, albeit higher power usage.

AMD is definitely the way to go when you're on a budget!

I'm glad you're happy with them, but their performance chips have been very lackluster since the Athlon 64 days, particularly for heavy single or dual thread applications, like real-time rendering.

I'm heading over to Intel for my next build.

I have two.

In my desktop it's an i7 3930K @ 3.20ghz
&
Laptop is an i7 4710HQ @2.50ghz

 

[Deleted member 1609]

I almost got a 3930k instead of my 3770k. I kind of wish I would have.

Good luck of finding one now, 8 core with 6 threads, total of 13 🙂

I have got an Intel i7-4790 @ 3.6GHz.

I believe the 3930k was six cores with twelve threads.

Nice. Can I borrow it? :3

Should have got the i7-4790k. 😉

Sure, I will rent it to you for 1FP$ per second.

Yes, haha. Is your one overclocked?

It boost clocks to 4.4Ghz and stays there pretty much all the time, but I have not manually overclocked it. I have been considering water cooling it and overclocking it to 4.8Ghz but have not yet.

I have also been considering just holding off till my next build to overclock a CPU because I plan to build a full on water-cooled system.

That would be neat. Doing a custom loop is a lot of work, though.
