Multithreading is the ability of software to use multiple cores, so you dont end up with 3 idle cores and 1 at 100% load. So SBE>IB in multithreaded stuff thanks to more cores, IB>SBE in single threaded stuff thats to higher IPC.

Hyperthreading is the ability of i7s to run 2 threads on a single core at the same time. It can get you a max of about 25% better performance in software that supports both multithreading and hyperthreading.

Thanks

Don't care about spending money to 1 up him

Already spent £200 on RAM for 16GB watercooled stuff

Just need a better SSD, CPU and maybe mobo

would ivy i7's then support the hyperthreading?

ng93 · 9 Nov 2011 at 19:01

AFAIK all i7s support hyperthreading, so yes ivy i7s will support it too.

Fair play for spending so much, itll be one hell of a system which ever route you go down.

Edit: just hope your friend doesn't get one of these

This allows a hyper-threading processor to appear as two "logical" processors to the host operating system, allowing the operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously.

Doesn't that mean that it wil;l be like having 8 cores on a quad core processor?

Just need some EVGA GTX 680's

you don't need a new cpu or quad channel memory cleeecooo :rolleyes:

wkingsnorth has a 2600k. Therefore i need something better :rolleyes:

two seperate areas for RAM means two RAM waterblocks.
Two RAM waterblocks will look epic

Also, I alreeady have 4 modules so presumeably i can already use quad channel if my mobo supported it

Hyper threading only gets you a max of ~25% performance over a single core, where as another core would get you a max of ~100% perfomance over a single core. In rare circumstances hyperthreading can also decrease performance, where as a separate core won't. Other than that they are pretty much the same in use, and most software which supports multithreading also supports hyperthreading, just dont expect a hyperthreaded quad core to be twice as fast as a non-hyperthreded quad core.

ah okay -thanks

is ivy destined to only give 10% more than SB?

KiiYzOo · 9 Nov 2011 at 19:14

2700k?

I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo want the gigabyte x79-ud7 it's painful

Ivy Bridge CPU's will probably overclock like beasts because they'll be 22nm.

even I can't justify a 2700k and that's saying something!

The UD7 boards aren't that good IMO

It says that there will be new mobo's out - i take it there will be no point me upgrading to one from my AsRock extreme4 gen3?

didn't think of that

now do you know why?

and stop signing in and out of origin

I wanted the green one on sandy, but i really couldn't justify when the mobo I have has the same features apart from tri sli for nearly half the price!

Sorry about origin - some issues ATM :(

KiiYzOo · 9 Nov 2011 at 19:24

if I can afford it, then I'll get it

Will there be any point at all getting the SBE?

KiiYzOo · 9 Nov 2011 at 19:28

how?

If you need the extra multithreaded performance and have plenty of cash to burn then yh why not
