i am using a core 2 due and a p35 motherboed and on the box it says 45nm ready does that mean i can put a i7 or a i5 or a i3 in then thing coz its a 775 motherbord and i7's are 45nm :/
someone replied to my comment saying that i am basically dumb for supporting AMD and not going with whoever has the fastest products for the price at the time.... Well all during the AM3 era....NOT am3+.... AMD was putting out better CPU's for your BUCK than INTEL was ...did the INTEL FANBOYS switch over to AMD during the AM3 era..NO!!! they supported a slower CPU at a MUCH HIGHER PRICE....cuz they are INTEL FANBOYS...I stand corrected! Stay loyal to your favorite company... never surrender!!
This is a joke.....every INTEL i every tried is a p.o.s. that can't multi-task or let alone barely do one thing at a time well.... I tried AMD for the first time ever and its a multi-tasking king and eats DATA for breakfast and craps out INTELS ... I will never look back at an INTEL cpu again. AMD FOREVER!!!!
guys i have a questions. I just brought a dual core i7 dell xps 15z, but i don't know if i should switch it for a i5 dual core. Can someone tell me the difference between a i5 dual core and a i7 dual core? they both have the same GHZ too i think

i5's rock games, most games wont utilize hyperthreading! Hyperthreading is more for like video and Audio compression and editing. For basic computer use, games and web surfing. i5 will hang with any i7!
wow I lost touch since Core 2 Duo.. Today I thought, I'd check out some laptops... then I was hit with i5 and i7and O.O; I feel like a lifetime behind in technology. Can anyone help summarize and update me? T^T so lost.... AMD vs Intel?
@jworcester92 Celeron Single Core Processor In My Laptop Running 100 Degrees Celcius At Stock Speeds ;) FUCK YEAH CELERON YOU MIGHTY BEAST PLAYING GAMES AT 2 FPS
@prince4d Are you talking about buying a new laptop cause 90% of laptops have a soldered processor which cannot be changed! This here is a desktop processor! Alienware M17X only 1 I know of with replaceable processor, they start at about $1800!! There may be a couple others too! Big Bucks!!
@nukemell Overall, No. Core i5 can be faster then a Core i7 in dual core mode because it normally has a higher clock speed in dual core mode, but in three and four core mode the Core i7 easily outpaces the Core i5 in performance.
i5 is the same but doesnt have hyper threading I7 owners that do over clock ing turn off hyper threading as it makes extra heat and hyperthreading can make some games run slower ans sometimes a game will run a big code t a virtual core which is not as good as code running on a real core.
@LegoDudez Yeah, but you could do that yourself in bios and save the extra money! Always buy Intels bottom processor in a series because they can easily be overclocked to perform with the higher clocked processors. Intel charges hundreds of dollars for higher multiplyer! Not worth extra money!
How good is the i5 intergrated graphics card??? please reply quick. like 512mb or a gig or......256mb??? maybe it doesnt have a certian mb but what the equalivilant??
@butlerblimp You can't draw a memory comparison, but unless you're a VERY casual gamer, you'll find that the integrated graphics is fairly lackluster.
@jimmybrite Actually, Hyper-Threading is far less important to performance than the four physical cores--that's the more critical architectural detail =)
@jimmybrite Four physical cores are going to be vastly superior to two cores with Hyper-Threading. Core i5 is still a fairly high-performance part in that regard.
If you compare with i7, AMD has more cache, AMD's cache has been even more places each memory device can be stored on (48 compared to Intel's 16). Intel starts to throw away the memory faster than amd if the program / programs are using data from several different places.Bandwidth plays almost no role whatsoever in common desktop applications, bandwidth is more important for servers.
hyperthrething doesn´t give performance for the money
to bad nether i5 or i7 is stable enough for me. atleast you got stable clockspeed WHILE NOT CLOCKING. to bad the performance wont be stable... the catch arhitecture is MUTCH better on the amd side when it comes to handle a lot of info.. and it will give 103 % stable performance (phenom965 performs better when the game gets more demanding)
We talk about these high end hardware but the majority of people do one simple task at a time with their computers e.g. web browsing, emails. Globally user experience with the computers are not that great. I think people should now think about better ways of interacting with computers such as simple user interfaces to make the most out of these cores.
We are aiming at 10% percent of hardware gurus but 90% use only one core even though they have 4 or 6 hyperthreaded cores.
The CPU cracks then reconstructs it's self... coming 2230 AD.
Seriously, I'm glad I found this. I'm ready to drop 1G on a rig to last me. I'm gonna go with the i5-750, but choosing a mother board is a pain in the ass.
What mother board should I use? Give me a $100-150 option and a $200+ one. Why go higher?
@TheMadOrc Now remember it's just a wish list. I've been procrastinating going through with this because of a lack of confidence and my current PC -- a Pentium 4 w/ 1.25 GB of RAM -- works well enough
My wish list on New Egg is named "ERS P55 Rig". IDK if you'll be able to find it, but I made it public tonight and that's the name.
My rig includes : Case $99.99 , Power Supply $139.99, Mobo $189.99, CPU $199.99, RAM $109.99, Video Card $174.99, DVD writer $26.99 , Hard Drive $119.99, OS $99
okay u but i can't see your rig and if you got this it costs $1160,92 which is quite much (to me because i'm only 16 years old however i don't know how old you are but if you're like the same you got a pretty expensive rig ;) ).
just an fyi core i 7 and i 5 are basically a revamped Pentium just a lot more powerful , however ht is a pain in the butt it is still a crap shoot but at slightly overclocked speeds its great i always loved ht but i don't agree with intel's tactics of marketing nor do i like there chipsets
@TheRodrigogames That depends. In most any game, the 965BE competes with the i7 975 Extreme at stock speeds. Tom's actually proved it can hang with the brand-new Intel i7 980 Xtreme in games. In multi-threaded business, multimedia, and audio/video applications, the Intel's usually pull ahead.
Men you got be kidding me. The i7's, i5's and Phenom II X4 in games are the same. But in some part of the games de intel i5/i7 wins over the phenoms ii.
@TheRodrigogames that's because amd gives way to low ghz to the cores.. you can clock them over big time.. + Intel most of the time is a lill' more exspensive so most buy amd if they have low budgets.. else intel;]
Phenom x4 does have higher stock speeds than a Intel Core i5, but you can overclock the i5 at the same speed of the Phenom x4. When you do the Intel Core i5 is much more stable and preforms better than the Phenom x4.
Yeah sure. If your not in to CF or SLI then and more fancy features, then just buy a P55M-UD2, just like me. A great board for a (very) cheap price :)
Just remember that there is also a Core i7 that also fits into the LGA 1156 interface, too. It's somewhat confusing on Intel's part; however, bear in mind that the feature that separates Core i5 and i7 is Hyper-Threading support, not the socket.
An not complete i7(8 series) without hyper threadin is core i5(7 series).But actually although turbo boost it is like the last generation of core 2 quads(Q9 series).
If you want core i5 put core 2 quad and if you want i7(8 series) put another i7(9 series,socket lga 1336 THE POWER)
Hahas..oh..ok...you are so funny!ya i will be buying the 1366 x58 board...to go with the core i7 950..the board i think i will go with the gigabyte x58 ud5 board..but there's 1 thing i would like to ask...i currently have 4gb of cosair ddr3 1600mhz ram...can i use it on the x58 board too??
RAM- yes you can, but you need to find another identical stick.
What do you have 2x2GB?
You either have to find another single 2GB module OR buy TWO additional 2x2 packs (for a total of 12GB) to make it triple channel. Do you see what I mean.
Yes, you can buy a 950. OR you can buy a 920 (identical CPU, worse batches) and overclock it with ease to 965+ speed. That's what everyone does. Get a good cooler.
That MOBO's fine. P6T DeluxeV2 (ASUS) is also good
hmm...i don't understand the D-O stepping thing?i have a 2x2GB module..cause i was useing a 790i motherboard..but it die on me just after a year of use..i do not know how to overclock a core i7..haha..
And don't be worried- the high end overclocker motherboards are user friendly. They want you to overclock them. You can make it faster and stable in 5 minutes. WAY faster, stable, at the lowest voltage possible-- that takes time.
if you are thinking about the p55 then go with a core i7 that has a socket 1156 ,because if you buy a core i7 with a socket 1366 then it will not fit.
P55/ 1156 supports i7 and i5 in the 800 series. It ONLY HAS 2 channels of RAM not 3, it also has a single I/O hub (P55) compared to X58's hub and controller (X58, ICH10)
In a P55 the PCIEX16 controller is integrated on die whereas on the X58 it is on the actual X58 chip.
This means on a P55 to get an x16 link across multiple cards you need an extra controller on the MOBO.
Also, Socket 1366 *(X58) will support SIX core processors coming out soon.
Ok i'm confused. \i'm a reasonably experience system builder for my own needs but im at that age now where it is no longer fun to constantly research the next purchase.
I just want to know whats the best because there seems to be some overlap of performance from the lower end i7 to the i5.
O and one more thing what power PSU should I be looking for plenty of headroom for the future. I guess 460 don't cut it?
Whens someone going to do a Metacritic for hardware.
the core i5/and i7 are exactly the same. however the core i5 is a little bit more energy efficient. and only has 4 threads. and 4 cores. and if your using a system for gaming. your better off with the core i5. as anygame cant use 8 threads. most cant even use 4.
From the impression I've gotten so far, I'd say the performance with the lower end i5 vs i7 are similar. The only difference is that i7s run multi-threaded apps a lot faster plus they have the 1366 socket which is headroom for the future. They're coming out with the i9s in the coming years which will only be on the 1366 sockets.

just an fyi core i 7 and i 5 are basically a revamped Pentium just a lot more powerful , however ht is a pain in the butt it is still a crap shoot but at slightly overclocked speeds its great i always loved ht but i don't agree with intel's tactics of marketing nor do i like there chipsets

@TheRodrigogames That depends. In most any game, the 965BE competes with the i7 975 Extreme at stock speeds. Tom's actually proved it can hang with the brand-new Intel i7 980 Xtreme in games. In multi-threaded business, multimedia, and audio/video applications, the Intel's usually pull ahead.

Men you got be kidding me. The i7's, i5's and Phenom II X4 in games are the same. But in some part of the games de intel i5/i7 wins over the phenoms ii.

@TheRodrigogames that's because amd gives way to low ghz to the cores.. you can clock them over big time.. + Intel most of the time is a lill' more exspensive so most buy amd if they have low budgets.. else intel;]

phenom x4 is the way to go if you want to get a good cpu for gaming. look at the stock speed there

@adolf512
Phenom x4 does have higher stock speeds than a Intel Core i5, but you can overclock the i5 at the same speed of the Phenom x4. When you do the Intel Core i5 is much more stable and preforms better than the Phenom x4.

@GodLikeSkillz89
the sulutions in phenom II will give a mutch moore stable performance. when pushing i5 it will NOT give moore stable performance.
i5 is a good cpu when not gaming very mutch and still want to get good overall performance. it´s also pretty cheap.

the core i5 and i7 do not share the same socket. the core i7 fits a LGA1366 and the i5 fits a 1156
neardood1 2 years ago
Just remember that there is also a Core i7 that also fits into the LGA 1156 interface, too. It's somewhat confusing on Intel's part; however, bear in mind that the feature that separates Core i5 and i7 is Hyper-Threading support, not the socket.

@neardood1 there are actually two models of i7 one is 1366 and the other is 1156. i5s and i3s on the other hand are only 1156
earthsheartfullness 1 year ago
If you want to know thsee are the solutions.
An not complete i7(8 series) without hyper threadin is core i5(7 series).But actually although turbo boost it is like the last generation of core 2 quads(Q9 series).
If you want core i5 put core 2 quad and if you want i7(8 series) put another i7(9 series,socket lga 1336 THE POWER)

Hahas..oh..ok...you are so funny!ya i will be buying the 1366 x58 board...to go with the core i7 950..the board i think i will go with the gigabyte x58 ud5 board..but there's 1 thing i would like to ask...i currently have 4gb of cosair ddr3 1600mhz ram...can i use it on the x58 board too??
kiansin 2 years ago
RAM- yes you can, but you need to find another identical stick.
What do you have 2x2GB?
You either have to find another single 2GB module OR buy TWO additional 2x2 packs (for a total of 12GB) to make it triple channel. Do you see what I mean.
Yes, you can buy a 950. OR you can buy a 920 (identical CPU, worse batches) and overclock it with ease to 965+ speed. That's what everyone does. Get a good cooler.
That MOBO's fine. P6T DeluxeV2 (ASUS) is also good
111olbap 2 years ago
One more thing to keep in mind- what the CPU is called on the outside NEVER matters.
You want a Nehalem Bloomfield core with D-O stepping. That's it.
If you'd bought an 1156 system you'd be getting a LYNNFIELD CPU. They can call it i7 or i5 or 950 or 920 or Steve or Keith.
It doesn't matter. What matters is what's ACTUALLY in there.
Did you know Pentium E2000 series is now a 45nm Wolfdale (core2duo) product?
You sound like a smart guy. Learn this stuff. Save money. Be happy.
111olbap 2 years ago
hmm...i don't understand the D-O stepping thing?i have a 2x2GB module..cause i was useing a 790i motherboard..but it die on me just after a year of use..i do not know how to overclock a core i7..haha..
kiansin 2 years ago
And don't be worried- the high end overclocker motherboards are user friendly. They want you to overclock them. You can make it faster and stable in 5 minutes. WAY faster, stable, at the lowest voltage possible-- that takes time.

Hey,,anyone here can help me?should i get a p55 motherboard or x58 for core i7?
kiansin 2 years ago
p55 ,p55 can support core i5,and core i7
hdgamer123 2 years ago
so if i am goin for core i7 which want should i get then?
kiansin 2 years ago
if you are thinking about the p55 then go with a core i7 that has a socket 1156 ,because if you buy a core i7 with a socket 1366 then it will not fit.
hdgamer123 2 years ago
X58. Period. Go. Now.
111olbap 2 years ago
P55/ 1156 supports i7 and i5 in the 800 series. It ONLY HAS 2 channels of RAM not 3, it also has a single I/O hub (P55) compared to X58's hub and controller (X58, ICH10)
In a P55 the PCIEX16 controller is integrated on die whereas on the X58 it is on the actual X58 chip.
This means on a P55 to get an x16 link across multiple cards you need an extra controller on the MOBO.
Also, Socket 1366 *(X58) will support SIX core processors coming out soon.
I would NOT buy a P55.
111olbap 2 years ago
oh..really?whens the new 6 core processors are coming out??thx for your help!!
kiansin 2 years ago
I don't know check the intel roadmap it's not a secret or anything. Probably late 2010.
Point is for like $200 difference you can have a much more scalable system that will grow for a couple of years in a way 1156 won't.
People don't seem to realize that socket 1156 exists to compete with AMD's inferior albeit excellent offerings and beat them. That's it.
It's the mainstream option.
111olbap 2 years ago
Look at it this way.
Do you want to say "Ya I can run all the new games great it's a good system"
or do you want to say
"MUAHAHAHAHA! THE POWER!! THE POWER!!"
1366.
Once you make up your mind I can suggest mobos etc

Ok i'm confused. \i'm a reasonably experience system builder for my own needs but im at that age now where it is no longer fun to constantly research the next purchase.
I just want to know whats the best because there seems to be some overlap of performance from the lower end i7 to the i5.
O and one more thing what power PSU should I be looking for plenty of headroom for the future. I guess 460 don't cut it?
Whens someone going to do a Metacritic for hardware.
Harrysound 2 years ago
the core i5/and i7 are exactly the same. however the core i5 is a little bit more energy efficient. and only has 4 threads. and 4 cores. and if your using a system for gaming. your better off with the core i5. as anygame cant use 8 threads. most cant even use 4.
chorinicpker 2 years ago
From the impression I've gotten so far, I'd say the performance with the lower end i5 vs i7 are similar. The only difference is that i7s run multi-threaded apps a lot faster plus they have the 1366 socket which is headroom for the future. They're coming out with the i9s in the coming years which will only be on the 1366 sockets.
