General Discussioni7 7800x or i7 7820x

No wayy

actually getting that cpu for gaming is like throwing money in the bin

^for gaming, video rendering and graphic process.

get threadripper instead. It demolishes intels series when it comes to video rendering. Gaming performance is equal.

If u have le cash then go for 1950x, if you have arund 500-600USD for CPU, then 1900x

^

how is the new i9 stuff?

I'm restricted to intel chips, due to my motherboard. i9 is wayyyy to expensive. Only considering those two.

i9 = i7 7820X.
I9 doesn't exist.

EDIT: nvm, apparently they only call half their new multicores I9, idk what intel does, apparently if u have 10 cores I't s an I9, everything below is I7.

You do realize that the 78xx and 79xx series also require a new mainboard right? They are socket 2066, your LGA 1151 board will not suffice, both threadripper and the 78xx/79xx series have much larger sockets than regular CPU's.

Btw is pubg rly worth buying? Is there a cosmetic item drop?

Exactly what blunt said lmao

What chip do you even have now? If video rendering is really in your work flow, why don't you just consider the Ryzen 7 chips? Or even threadripper if your budget goes as high?

Maybe you don't even need to upgrade at this moment if you're rocking a 7700k/6700k or something like that unless you're able to sell the mobo+cpu combo at a good price

I have iga 2066 motherboard.

If he's working with adobe premier and with 8k/4k video footage he'll need the extra cores, even a 7700K/6700K will not give a nice experience.

If you're a person that has to work with professional footage etc. Then you definitely need a threadripper with a red rocket X card:

If you're just doing it just 4 fun, I guess a 7700K/ 6700K is enough.

I'm going to be real with you, intel fucked you big time, the x299 boards are pretty meh, the CPU's are also very meh.

Honestly the kaby lake X is a disaster.

You should watch this video:

I'd consider giving the board back and just go over to Threadripper. The kabylake X was a panic reaction to the threadripper, intel shat their pants when they realized AMD wasn't going to fail like the bulldozer series and created something content creators would enjoy having. Intel was always known to be in the high end market, but now AMD actually stole that position, due to the fact that 4k gaming is way less GPU intensive and DX 12 will also be less CPU intensive, meaning the small gap in gaming, which intel currently still has, will get closed, meaning CPU power will be a content creating only thing, which AMD will crush intel. As far as you can see, nothing has changed since the ivy bridge, only small adjustments in efficiency, that's all. A overclocked 3770K is pretty much equal to 7700K.

Honestly if I'm doing work station pcs now, I wouldn't consider an intel unless coffee lake comes out with something surprising (hopefully something better than leaked benchmarks)

I'll take the 10 fps hit in games (which doesn't really matter to be honest) for the seconds/minutes saved rendering models/packaging videos.

I honestly wish that I was able to build my PC with the release of the Ryzen platform, sadly, I needed an upgrade way before that time. Oh well

Get ready to be dissapointed then.
Coffee lake is pretty much rebranded kaby lake with slight tweaks and possibly cores. It's pretty much like this: I3 - low I5 = rebrand kaby with slight improvements. High I5 - I7 are rebrand kaby lake X with slight tweaks. Nothing to write home about.

Hell all CPU's are garbage, you pay 300EUR for an I5 without hyperthreading and lower clock speeds. I don't know what intel is doing, but it's weird. They now want to cache up and go for more cores, but completely ignore their high clocks, which made them better in gaming. Intel plans on direcly countering the Ryzen series and I honestly think, it will bite them in the ass. I think intel realized how fucked they are and are now going to desperate attemps.

So prepare for lower performance in gaming, more in encoding, crypt etc, but still less than Ryzen. I think this mihgt be intels first failure series in a long time.

For the notebook user, coffee lake is a joy, the U series will now feature a quadcore, which actually is a big deal. Now the ultrabooks can be decent, even in a cheaper range.

The U series was actually what I was most excited about. No more shitty dual cores. But yeah, ryzen still seems like the better choice with everything that has been leaked so far.
