>there are people who actually think 4 cores are enough
why did people not buy quad cores after haswell-e brought 6 cores with 12 threads in 2014 for the same price as a 4770k back then? why did people fall for the quad core meme?

because 2500k was quad core

and those mobo were way more expensive.. that said my buddy had a 3930K (?; 6c12t) bought in 2013 and it was sweet until he sold it.. I held that bare processor in my own hands

I don't even know what you're trying to ask.

not really. there were plenty of x99 boards for $170 - $250 that could run the 5820k with an 4.5ghz overclock. unless you're talking about garbage $50 - $100 boards then yeah there were not any. but who buys a cheap ass two layer $80 board on a $300+ processor?

In a laptop, performance will be bottle-necked by the cooling anyways.

to be fair, intel hyperthreading is fucking garbage tier SMT.
The gaming performance of the 9900k and 9700k are identical because for gaming at least, only real cores generally matter.
There are maybe a handful of titles that can actually take advantage of hyper threaded threads.

>The gaming performance of the 9900k and 9700k are identical
not really identical but nearly. the 9700k actually better for gaming because it lacks smt. 9700k has the tendency to beat the 9900k because of its smt causing scheduling issues. the impact is small though. talking about 2 - 4fps.
Charles Flores
The 9900K and 9700K have equal caches, that's the sad part. It doesn't really matter if your have 8 or 12 threads if it's going to miss cache anyway.
Also ironic that it's exactly intensive cache-digging that makes SMT an upgrade in the first place.
i.e. i don't get it.
Sebastian Ramirez
Bought E5-2667.
Xavier Foster
Yeah, I expect in the next generation, or maybe the one after, we'll start seeing larger cache differences in chips that have SMT vs chips that don't.
Or they'll continue being jews, we'll see.
Joseph Bell
The 9700K has 1.5MB of L3 per core instead of 2MB, retard

But my i3-3220 has only two and it is enough.
