Doesn't it get tedious and boring to spin the same dribble EVERY day? I bought a pair of flare X RAM and got it to 3400MHz CL 15 (stilts timings) with a slight OC on a $75 B450 asrock motherboard. On that SAME motherboard I got my 2600 to OC to 4.1GHz on a $30 hyper evo 212.
I actually used to own an i5-7600 intel system myself btw and noticed a really hefty performance improvement moving to my AMD system. And sure I could have spent a couple hundred more for a cannonlake system but why would I do that when zen+ systems are cheaper and 90-95% just as fast?
Post your CPUZ/ HWinfor screencaps then, I legit want this to be true
Angel Brooks
I would desu and you and this thread sticks around long enough I certainly will but I have a morning shift to get to. See you guys around 3-5 pm.

You don't have to subject us to your buyer's remorse or whatever weird tribalism thing you have going on.

$170 RAM + $160 2600 + $30 212 evo = $360 + $75 MB vs $100 RAM + $370 i7-8700K + $100 AIO = $570 + ~$150 high end Z270 motherboard to handle the """""95W""""" TDP + 5GHz OC.
ALL that just for 5-10% better performance? Why would anyone do something THAT fucking stupid?
Damn amd marketing team can deliver golden sample thi fast?
Ian Wilson
Same IPC as skyline-x, actually. To be surpassed in 2 months btw.
Jordan James
Are you sure? See Or was there 0 IPC jump from sky-to-kaby-to-cannon?

Games are notoriously inefficient at using more than 2 CPU cores, seems like a pretty good single threaded metric to go by. Isn't that why haswell crushed FX?
Isaiah Hall
It is but not equal to IPC
Christian Reyes
Kek they used up all of their golden samples for marketing and left the shit dies as 50th anniversary 2700x's
Jacob Gonzalez
How so? Generally you're only ever going to max out 2 CPU cores 80% of the time and throwing more in there won't improve performance by much if at all (see 16-core threadripper vs 4 core intel cpu at gaymes).
Juan Peterson
You realize that the gpu is a bottlenecks in those resolution where they got equal fps right? You can put an 2500k there and the results would be the same.
Ian Green
>"The main event though is an 18 game benchmark using the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p, 1440p and 4K." So what you're saying is a $1,200+ RTX 2080ti is a "bottleneck" even at 1080p, right?
Gabriel Cook
You mean a 3200 cl 14 kit and a well known timing preset?
Jacob Long
Sky kaby and coffee are all the exact same architecture.

Why not? As long as it prevents the CPU to 100% utilized. Also the C in IPC stands for clockcycle not core.
Ethan White
Not him, but if the software can't properly leverage the entirety of the cpu (all corea/threads) it'll never reach 100% load. You'll technically be limited by 1 or 2 cpu cores. However the way windows does its task scheduling, you'll likely never see a single core being pegged 100% unless the developer pins their threads. Because left to its own devices windows will constantly shuffle shit from one core to another. But if the gpu isn't running 100% (pro tip: it's not) then it's not a bottleneck, and something else in the system is.
Wyatt Morales
So what GPU would NOT bottleneck a CPU? Does such an alien artifact even exist?
