ITT: /b/ realizes how stupid they are for not knowing that an Intel i5 is objectively better than an Intel i7 for gaming. Not even talking about bang for buck.

thats a vag
what the ooga did you just say, you little booga?
Please explain, this should be hilarious.
>>668547737
Demonstrate how.
>>668547737
No shit sherlock, you don't fucking buy a cpu for its gaming performance. You buy a decent gpu with a decent i5 or i7. Only an i7 if you do a lot of multitasking like rendering, streaming and high performance gaming at once. Heres a place where you can splooge this shit because no one on /b/ cares

Hyperthreading which means that the CPU has more than 4 threads to do it's processing on increases the temperature of the CPU without providing any benefit in gaming. This is because no games are made to utilize more than 4 threads because it's a huge pain in the ass to make games that way. 4 threads which is the amount of threads an i5 has is already a pain for them.

>giving a shit about computers
this isnt 2007 anymore, buy an xbox and use your phone for everything else, like a normal person
>>668549171
Actually contrary to popular opinion games are frequently CPU bottlenecked, especially when using a high end GPU like a 980ti.
>>668549243
Well, it does make an argument that an i5 is suitable at all, i guess. Still not how it's superior to an i7. I never have temp issues when gaming because I'm not a fucking pleb.
>>668547737
That's a woman, not a processor
>>668549243
omfg. all this bullshit aside, you know you can disable HT?

wew lad, get back to school
Kek, Nintendo has blast processing dumbfucks. PC is shit tier. Battle station threads make me cringe. PC gamers kys
>>668549243
>no games are made to use more than 4 threads
Tell that to Crysis 3
>>668549396
CPUs will throttle below turbo clock if they get above a certain temperature which is almost always going to happen in a hot climate while gaming.
>>668549243
"no games use hyperthreading"
You're a fuckwit.
Do you even know what objectively means? It means you put aside your opinion and just use facts, which you clearly are not.
>>668549482
Enjoy playing the same game forever
>>668549436
yeah then you literally have an i5 that you paid $100 too much for.
>>668549374
This is true but I doubt that many people are going to be running 4k set ups with max graphics and etc. I know games like GTA and the witcher care about cpu hyperthreading, core performance and clocks but for the majority of gaming a normal i5 or i7 should be more than enough. Good point though

wtrf is this thread
>>668549569
So what poorfag? $100 is nothing
>>668549530
look at 4790k ht on vs ht off
>>668547737
If an i5 give you better performance than an i7 you have cooling issues, which is normal for laptops.
Build a real battlestation.
>>668549243
>someone somewhere actually thinks this
>>668549518
I have had the comp i;ve had for 3 years, and have not over heated once. I play everything on its highest setting as well.
I say the same thing. You may have perfectly good reason to like your i5, but i have no regrets about my i7
>>668549909
That's also true. But my laptop doesn't have over heat issues ever. Sometimes the fans run high, but a good system, and being a non-scrub who knows to clean their pc periodically can get years out of his system.
I'm this guy.

>not a single mention about graphics cards
Confirmed b8
how much would it cost to build a pc that would be more powerful than a ps4 or xbox one
>>668547737
Op is a poorfag who cant afford an i7
Also the superduper secret brotipp was to buy a Xeon CPU, same as the i7 without the integrated graphics but a lot cheaper.
Unfortunately that doesnt work with the newest generation, you need a workstation board now.
>>668550338
1000
>>668550449
then whats the point of building a pc lol
>>668550557
so you have something more powerful
>>668549902
great now post a graph for every other fucking game ever and I will believe you.
you said "no games use HT" remember?
You're forgetting something though, What if I want to watch a movie on a second monitor or stream my play. Run a listen server from the rig im playing on or play one of the games that can use HT?
Sure i5 is subjectively better for gaming, EG if price matters but its not objectively better.
>>668549518
Yea, if you're not using water cooling. Who the fuck games on a fan on their CPU?
i7 is way better u stupid mong
>>668549518
I live in a hot climate, but if I can afford a high end gaming rig I sure as shit can afford aircon.
>>668547737
There is something very disheartening about that vagina/anus combo.
It looks just so worn out.. so used.
>>668550769
Agree, fucking faggots not even trying to hide it
>>668551163
it's about as virgin looking as they get. they're perfectly intact
i still have my i5 2500k overclocked to 4,4ghz
works fine considering the age
>>668550956
I do, i7 930 Oced from 2.8 to 4.2
Been stable on a fan for 5 years now. got a new GPU but I can still run games just fine.
>>668549243
it is impossible for the computer to run solely the game in which you are playing at the time making your argument invalid

OS load is about 2% of 1 core
