Best intel cpu for a primarily gaming computer but also for someone

Great thread, faggot.

R7 1800x

Probably like a i7 or something

apple

Probably a Ryzen 1600.

Intel sucks dick at multithreaded workloads. Ryzen 1600 is about on par with a 7600K for games, but destroys even the 7700K in multithreaded applications (so compiling or rendering in your case).

i5 4th generation or better is good enough for all games. i7 for gaming is a meme.

6950X is a great buy!

6850K. It's great

KEK

Costs like $1500 and had comparable performance to a $500 Ryzen 1800X.

A small price to pay for not dealing with AMD hosuefires and weak cores

>>60094780
The 1800X cores are stronger than the 6950X.
Intel can scale their cores up when there are less of them, but AMD keeps full power no matter the core count, which is interesting.

The i7 7700K is the fastest single core CPU ever made, which means it pulls ahead in pretty much all games and poorly multi threaded workloads. If you're gaming and the tools you're going to be using are single threaded, get that.

If you're doing anything else (i.e. compiling large C++ projects for use in games, working/playing with the new graphics APIs, using properly multithreaded tools, etc.) get the R7 1700 or the R5 1600. They're cheaper (compared to Intel chips of similar core counts), The power draw is lower for more cores and threads, the motherboard lasts longer, they ship with an excellent stock cooler and have, at least compared to the 7700K, more PCIe lanes and cache.

get an engineering sample of whatever floats ur fancy.
