overclocked equivalent cpu/gpu

killer347 · Feb 14, 2016

with all the overclocking guides out there and stuff i never find making a chart of over clock equivalent results .
example some one wants to get the performance of a i7-5960x using a lower end cpu to match the performance of the i7-5960x but keeping that cpu stable . love to see some one make a 1000$ cpu out of a 500$ lol if possible.

other question is doing so is it going to be worth the cost on the cpu cooler a figure at depending on the factor of the overclocking level this could ether be not worth it and better off buying a higher end cpu . in some case i figure its going to be worth it. this is what i would like to know a 500$ cpu to do as good as a 1000$ ya im sure thats not logical at all .

amd may play a part in this as there cpus may not be as good as reality aside no fan boys please no a fan boy of ether. fact is amd is cheaper there for the 300$ slap in the face you get with intel you could take a amd and match that of the higher end intell cpu ? . sorry for any grimmer and spelling errors

For what purpose?

The 5960X has eight cores, the 5930K has only six. Speed is easy to match A 4.3Ghz 5930 would game faster than a 4.0Ghz 5960, but neither will game as well as a 4.6Ghz 4790K.

Heavily overclocked 5930K can reach the throughput of a stock 5960X, but why bother? If it's a hobby, you likely don't need it, and if it's business, you can afford it (you need to afford it, 10 - 25% more throughput at any sensible charge-out rate will pay for itself in less than a month and after that everything is gravy.)

ok lets use this example some one is on a budget is it going to be worth it for them to overclock a cpu or just buy the higher end cpu. what is the less costly investment.

i gess this should be called a investment guide to cpu/gpu but i have no knowlage to compare cpu vs overclocked counterparts .

DonkeyOatie :

so my understand are you saying that the 4790K is going to game better overclocked compared to other cpus you listed i notice the 4790K was the cheapest out of all....
that is what my goal was here all along can we find something to over clock and beat the higher priced cpu . but problem is would it be cost effective or would some one be spending more money on the cpu cooler making it not worth the investment.
example if some one buys a Phase change cooling they just spent around 500$ on a cpu when they could have just got the higher end cpu. ware over clocking there cpu may have been cost effective buying a Phase change cooling would not be cost effective and wast of money unless you look at it from long term upgrade point of view

Almost no one needs to use either of these CPUs These are not budget products. 'Worth' depends on the specific situation and application, in particular.

Overclocking is of limited value in gaming and most 'normal' circumstances. If you are into rendering and 3D, you can gain an advantage, but the CPUs you are talking about are the basis of $2000 to $4000 systems.

having trouble having you understand ware im geting at. lets take budget out of the picture . we all know some one dont need a 4000$ to run at highest setters at that point the over spent there money just for barging rights

The overclocked i7 is the fastest chip and has enough cores, without having too many for a sensible system. Overclocking is of limited value in gaming, because the limiting factor is usually the GPU. Phase change cooling is a bit complex for 24/7 use and is usually expensive too. It is not needed for gaming systems in practical use. A good air cooler will be fine.

For other than gaming, there are other chips to consider, including the Xeon v5s with 12 or even 18 cores. They are not so fact, but their data throughput is enormous.

What I'm having trouble understanding is what you want to do with the computer. You are asking a question like 'what's the best car?' It depends on what you are going to do with it. Drive as a commuter in Paris, France, or Paris, Texas, or Peshwar, or to the South Pole?

If you were to ask 'what's the best CPU/computer for anything/everything', then the 'answer' would be.

Half-decent everything: Overclocked (4.6Ghz+ 24/7) Haswell i7 4790K or Skylake i7 6700K in a gaming system (Skylake is about 5% faster due to generational differences at the same speed)

Decent everything: Overclocked (4.3Ghz + 24/7) Haswell-E i7 5930K in a workstation with Double precision and CUDA SLI and dual.

Great everything: Doesn't exist.

Office, gaming, VR, CAD/CAM/3D, rendering, animation, HTPC, VM, software development, NAS, enterprise server, folding, Bitcoin mining, molecular modeling, fluid dynamics calculation, nuclear physics simulation, are just some of EVERYTHING. No PC can be great at all of these things, especially if you want to do a couple of them at the same time.
