So I'm not an expert on HT and how it impacts performance, but I have learned on the internets that most games do not make use of anything more than a 3770k.
And a 3770k has 4 cores that are hyperthreaded, making 8 threads.
Now, most agree then, that the 3930k, with its 6 hyperthreaded cores, is overkill, as the games do not utilize those extra two cores.
However, what about a 3930k with hyperthreading disabled? Now, you have only 6 threads. 6 very fast threads. Would this perform even better than the 3770k, since, as I seem to have gathered, most modern games can utilize up to 8 threads?
Sorry if this is a dumb question..
thanks!
