edit: realised i missed a word in the heading :rolleyes:, was meant to be about other none K chips.


mean i dont know if one would even suit a 240w psu, but saw one of these for £100 while in town earlier and got me wondering, would this actually better a 4430/4460 that are cheaper? after all that just straight up quads.
 
I messed up the heading.

Basically I was trying to ask if the 4590 was any better than any of the other non K quads? £65-85 for a 4430/4460 and £100 for 4590 is prices I've seen from a general browse.


I'm not buying as I can't afford to just yet, I was looking for other things and noticed these.
 
thanks for replies.

just like the sandy bridge then, just speed and the odd instructions, wasnt sure if the haswell might have improved somewhat to make the quads more worthwhile, but then i am wanting a true quad, hyperthreading is nice, but core count be useful too.

no as Armageus has pointed out, its for my SFF haswell with 4150, i just havent put it in my sig, ive still got the one in my sig, but im replacing it with my SFF for its form factor for now as i want an itx build eventually and haswell better to keep until then.


i think all but anno 2205 i play would benefit from a true 4 core so thats the division, rb6s, mad max, fallout 4(when i get it lol) from memory, okay i still need a 1050ti to game and more ram, but want the best mid range SFF i can make ha.
