And I thought my upgrade to an i5 would be a game changer…
Screw this. I’d just get a i5 and play Minecraft and Sims3 on it
$1700 PC is apparently only “pretty good”
And I have an overclocked 8-core AMD FX series at 5.00 gHz. That I paid less than $150 for.
This channel is called Linus tech tips so where is Linus? What about that?
That computer right next to you, what are the specs?
RIP INTEL
I want a processor with 1000 cores with hyper threading
DAFUQ?? 1Million views???? Okaaaaaay…
Intel can go fuck themselves with that price
Cinebench no multitread benchmark…….
When a processor costs more than your pc
My problem is why do amd rayzen compare whit intel lower cpu why not the 6950x they no they wil loose
Any idea how or where I can sell mine? It’s brand new and eBay isn’t an option because the seller fees would be stupid expensive.
Really good performance, I sold my kidney. But more performance! 😀
i bought this cpu recently , its a beast
Can you explain me what does it mean when on the TOP of i7-6950x processor is written Intel confidential?
Is a Intel i7 6900k worth for gaming?
Would you revisit this test with new Ryzen + The good old Gulftown i7-980X?
I’m not a content creator (thinking about it, tough), but IMO it would be more viable to simply run the rendering etc. on some older Server.
Not only wouldn’t I want to put the stress on a Gaming PC (yeah I know it might not affect the lifespan much), I’d also want the Redunancy and FB ECC Ram… and the fact that those things are supposed to run 24/7.
Ryzen does seem like a good compromise for the lower budget content creators, tough.
but does it run crysis doh?
6800k is the best bang for buck!
my game needs more gigahertz not more cores…so no hope for me i guess
When you like video games but you also like to send people to Mars in the same time.
$170 processor now that Ryzen has arrived
gooo to ebay buy a 2 xeon and mother ram less then 1700 and it will destroy benchmark
