3570k here, I'm semi tempted to upgrade to skylake. Should

>>55257822
Get a 6800K and a cheap X99 board.

Wait for Zen.

>>55257838
Single core performance is very important for emulation, Zen is supposed to be Skylake core tier, a tier below my current.

>>55257865
>skylake
I meant Sandy Bridge, fucked up.

Still no AMD CPU ever, I am getting a 480 though.

???

>>55257822

What's the best overclock you get with that cpu?

>>55259174
What is an overclock?

My 3570k at 4.5 does fine OP

>>55257822
>CPU strength is important because I plan to use CEMU, Citra, RPCS3, and Xenia.

Overclock the shit out of your 3570K.

Even my 6700K lags at certain choke points that occurred with my 2500K when emulating games.

The 3570k is perfectly fine. You wouldn't be happy with an upgrade. I say wait until 10nm is the standard.

My 3570k is actually a bad batch, it hits 70c when stress testing at stock(turbo boost)

>>55259676
Don't OC it mane. I have a 3470 and I am just fine.

>decide to check what cpu I have
>same as OP
what do

>>55259927
No.... There is no point in upgrading. Sandy Vagina CPUs are still great.

FUCK

>>55260003
Yea you can. Just look around m8.

>>55259676
Same. Mine pretty much refuses to go past 4.3GHz at nearly 1.3V. It gets fairly hot at that temperature, nearly 90C. I've thought about delidding it, but it's really not worth it I don't think. I didn't even want the K, but I got a bundle deal.

>>55259969
I still use Westmere-EPs and will for the foreseeable future. I even have a T7300 laptop that performs great for day to day tasks. I've had it about 9 years, now.

>>55260003
Ebay, cmon m8

kill me senpai

>>55260049
im too much of a pussy

>>55260026
Yea man, even old CPUs are still doing good. I think maybe 2 or 3 more years before we need to start upgrading CPUs.

>>55260085
How about on Ebay? Just get one from there man.

>>55260091
If people actually start highly multithreading their software, we might actually see performance improve on older hardware.

>>55260101
Guess i'll have no other choice to trust the chink man if my mobo dies

>>55260126
People are too lazy to multithread, it'll have to be done in an automated way somehow.

>>55257822
Kaby lake will only support windows 10

>>55260126
This.
>>55260129
Yea man just take it.

>>55260200
I know, I plan to dualboot with Ubuntu now that the amazon botnet is not installed by default.
