U mean it wont be noticeable while gaming etc ? Im not much of a benchmarking guy u know

no not a chance that u will notice any difference........it may show difference only when u run synthetic benchmarks like sisoft sandra memory benchmark etc.....

i wanted to know if my mobo will run the new icore7 processors n which one would be the best buy keeping in mind price/performance and gaming, and even if its worth getting it,, i mean how much of a diff in performance will i get? compared to my current processor.


i have a e8500 @ 3.1ghz

n auss p5q p45 mobo

umm which mobo will run it then??

[fajoo24]

1. there is good deal of performance difference in CoreI7 and current generation quad core (dual cores are not even comparable).....

2. I think the mobos that supprot CoreI7 are very expensive i.e. above 20k atm.....Asus Rampage Formula 2 and other Intel X48 and above chipset mobos support it....

ty for the fast reply ,, uv been great help.

guess that makes it around a year or more before i upgrade hope games dont become too demanding till then n my current pc runs em

[fajoo24]

yar i think our current systems (urs is more powerful) will easily run upcoming games for around next 6-8 months.....u might not face problem coz u already have 4870 monster, people likes of me having 9600/9800 gt might need to upgrade by that time....

and yeah u r welcome

Core i7 is basically a workstation/enthusiast processor. It is not meant for Desktop. The gains from Core2Duo to Core i7 are not that significant if you consider gaming performances. It is basically a multi threading beast. The most games of today are not optimized for more than two cores. If you want to upgrade to Core i7 from Core2duo then you will have to upgrade the whole platform which will cost a considerable amount of money. The Processor itself is not that much expensive but the X58 boards and DDRIII costs a lot of money.
I say wait till Q4 2009 when Core i5's along with X55 chipset arrive. DDRIII will be mainstream by then and Core i5 will cost you much less.
Till then your current rig is more than enough.

by that time i think core i3 would be available (hope fully it supports DDR2)

[ubuntu83]

by that time i think core i3 would be available (hope fully it supports DDR2)

any link to confirm this.

I don't see a need for core i3 because current coe2duo line up is more than enough to cover this segment.
