2500k wasn't an amazing chip either an overclocked i5 750 matches a 2500k so it's a myth that sandybridge was some amazing leap.
Except when you overclock the 2500k..........................
CPUs are just boring these days.
Even with the regular die shrinks etc, we just don't really get much progress. Can you imagine if nVidia and AMD shrunk GPUs like Intel shrink CPUs?
A version of the 980ti on intel 14nm would be an awesome thing....
True. The current situation is only bad if you're obsessed with upgrading for the sake of it (IMO). Current CPUs are fantastic and probably won't be improved much until the next big shift in computing (presumably HSA). The last one was probably the introduction of multi-core CPUs and that was 10 years ago.I rather have it this way compared to 15 years ago.
Buy a CPU now it can last you at least 6 years not 6 months.
^ me too.
Lol @ AMD losing the IGP crown. "Intel can't catch up" they said.
Who knows what will happen once K chips arrive, The 4790K being "faster" is somewhat short sighted, given its clock advantage.
This is why I didn't understand a lot of the negativity towards Broadwell, what Intel have done with is silly good.
There will be no 'K' chips for Broadwell - this is it, the two 'C' models. Next up is Skylake in August.
Price wise, pcgameshardware.de review mentioned it was only $27 more expensive than the 4790k - I expected it to be much more expensive than this, so another win
