I am really really surprised by what CPU Boss had to say about this comparison.
I am trying to upgrade my system and looking for the best deal on a motherboard/CPU combo.
I currently have a Gigabyte P55-UD2 with an I7-870 that I have overclocked to 3.4Ghz. (stock is 2.93Ghz)
At stock speeds. CPU Boss gives my I7, produced in 2009 a 7.0 score and the 8320E produced in 2014 and 7.4 score. When I look at the benchmark scores the I7 outperforms on single thread operations.
I have 8GB of DDR3 1066 Memory (G. Skill) and I won't have the extra cash to upgrade that for a while but it should work in the new motherboard with the 8320E. (ASUS M5A78L)
I am thinking I need to just hold off for now until I can afford a much better processor then the 8320E since I am not seeing a great performance gain over the I7 I currently have.
Anyone agree or disagree?
