I think you're just bored at this point.If I wait for X299 I will get a new case now, instead of Ryzen
Of my current case? yaI think you're just bored at this point.
In general. There's no technical reason or need to buy the parts that you do. You don't gain anything, it's just something 'new' to play with.Of my current case? ya
Well my watercooling loop is mostly just for show because I'm obsessed with the looks of my PC, as for the case, it's the one I wanted to go for in the first place but decided to cheap out. And when it comes to Ryzen, I do actually expect the high end 8c/16t chips to beat my 6700k by at least 20% in CPU intensive tasks, but since I mostly game and Ryzen won't match the IPC of the 6700k, I will wait for X299 so that I can get that multi core improvement without sacrificing the single core.In general.

Not judging it on merit of 'good' or 'bad', at least recognize that these new part decisions don't offer you anything except for a very brief interest before it's back to boredom time.
Maybe it would help to blend in some other hobbies or interests?
Why only 20%?when it comes to Ryzen, I do actually expect the high end 8c/16t chips to beat my 6700k by at least 20% in CPU intensive tasks
What specific games do you see the IPC of Ryzen being the bottleneck?I mostly game and Ryzen won't match the IPC of the 6700k
No need to be rude.But let's try not to go off topic again.
I said at least 20%. Will probably be moreWhy only 20%?
I don't think it will be a bottleneck, but it will perform a few frames per second lower than the 6700k. That doesn't matter that much because I game at 4k but if I gamed at 144hz it would be noticeableWhat specific games do you see the IPC of Ryzen being the bottleneck?
Can't get the 1700X and the 1800X out of my head. 1700X is the smarter decision, but that 1800X is very attractive.As for me I'm pretty much deadset on the 1600X. Want that overclockability but don't need and frankly can't afford an 8 core chip. Kinda weird I'll actually be downgrading my core count coming from an 8320.
I'm an overclocking nut so the 1700 is automatically out. The price jump to the 1700X is just too much for me. Once I'm done with school I'll probably go full hog on a top of the line AM4 chip after a few architecture refreshes.Can't get the 1700X and the 1800X out of my head. 1700X is the smarter decision, but that 1800X is very attractive.
Many people, including myself downgraded their core count when they upgraded from an 8 core FX to an i5 or i7.Kinda weird I'll actually be downgrading my core count coming from an 8320
You could pretty easily argue that the 8320 is a quad core because of it's architecture. Pairs of cores share a lot of resources and I've even had some things identify it as a quad, although I don't remember what exactly.Many people, including myself downgraded their core count when they upgraded from an 8 core FX to an i5 or i7.
Man that bus speed is really low, or is that just me?You could pretty easily argue that the 8320 is a quad core because of it's architecture. Pairs of cores share a lot of resources and I've even had some things identify it as a quad, although I don't remember what exactly.
Either way, it's gonna be a huge jump for me. All about dat IPC. Speaking of, saw this this 1600X bench this morning. Obviously it's a leak/rumor but if it's true then we're looking at Skylake-ish level IPC on the CPU-Z benchmark

I was pretty sure most newer Intels are just 100MHz bus.Man that bus speed is really low, or is that just me?
True, but on my old Asus board I had with the 8350, I was able to disable 7 of the 8 cores which is why I see it as a 8 core for the most part. Not sure if I can do it on the GB board I have with it now.You could pretty easily argue that the 8320 is a quad core because of it's architecture.

I mean yeah it's an octacore but it shares a lot of resources and the arch gives it some issues that 8 truly independent cores wouldn't have. I can disable cores in groups of 2 on my ancient Gigabyte board.True, but on my old Asus board I had with the 8350, I was able to disable 7 of the 8 cores which is why I see it as a 8 core for the most part.

Dude you don't even know. I've jumped full onto the hype train and won't look back. Lots of info being leaked and rumors everywhere. Seems pretty concrete we'll have an unveil and models for sale within the next 2 weeks. I don't necessarily believe all that I'm seeing online but there's definitely some serious indications that Intel is going to need some price readjustments.RUMOR HYSTERIA TIME
Microcenter just dropped the 7700K to $299
Do you think Intel are quaking in their boots?
