Mga pipz...naglibog jud ko..

Unsay mas better? Core i7 920 or Core i7 860?

[hawkeye294]

THIS link should answer most of your questions.. others may have different opinions though so stay tuned daghan ra na magcomment later..hehe

HERE is a "benchmark".
personally I'd go for i7 920.. paminaw nako mas modugay ang x58 kaysa sa p55.. hihihi

Check this comparison...
AnandTech Bench (beta): Intel Core i7 920 vs Intel Core i7 860

Add lng pud ko gamay advice...you really won't feel the difference except when you check the numbers in benchmarks and these are only minimal differences. And if you want a cheap but reliable processor that would work for you for the next 3-5 years i'd suggest you pick a core 2 duo proc..

I'd say the 920 kung maka stretch ka sa imong budget pero kung diha ra jud ka kutob, the 860 is very well worth it. it even surpasses the 920 in some if not most of the benchmarks. don't worry about future-proofing though, the technology (LGA1156) is new so you should be good for the next 2-4 years.

also, kung ganahan jud ka maka feel ug difference when it comes to performance, get an SSD for your primary drive, naay local distro diri ug OCZ so ask lang kung naa na ba nasulod diri.

**EDIT**

come to think of it, i-consider ang graphics card kay kung mag crossfire/sli ka, better go for the 920 kay x58. ang P55 kay x8 raman gud on multiple gpu configuration. and the 860 is slightly expensive than the 920 pero dili kaayo. in my opinion, deciding factor ang graphics ani kay it seems you can afford going multiple GPU's man, di ba?

ngek.. basi sa links nga gihatag og sa mga test nga giconduct..mas nindot ang Core i7-860..

PERO ang pangutana.... reliable ba kaha to? Mas CHOI ba ang 860 kaysa 920?...

About future proofing..murag sa 920 ko pero murag mas better man ang performance sa 860..tsk3..LIBOG og samot

i7 920
Enthusiast level
expensive motherboard bec. of northbridge
expensive setup, needs 3 sticks DDR3 for 3ple channel
powerhungry at OC


i7 860
Hi-end level
Cheaper mobos
Cheaper setup, would req. only 2 sticks of DDR3 for dual channel
supposedly lower specs than 920
if ever clocked, will kick 920's butt at stock^^ check for yourself.
better overclocker
better performance per set-up price.
the LGA1156 is doomed to be replaced, unlike the X58 platform
mao na aq dungog sa internet news sauna... naay nman new platform e release ang para sa i9
den mo focus na daw sila ato and sa X58.... ang 1156 kay pang kuha rman daw nila sa nahabilin na buslot sa market share sa hi end procies. pang atbang sa AMD 955 and 965

unsay pasabot nimo sa "Enthusiast level"... ^_^

unsay pasabot nimo sa "Enthusiast level"... ^_^

enthusiast level? di kaau ko kahibaw mo word for word pero tagaan tikaw idea ug example. if di ko nimo masabtan. google lang missis webster.
enthusiast level sa computer technology mga around 1% raman cguro na sila sa whole computer market.
mao na sila ang techy na mga tao na hilig kaau sa mga new stuffs nya hilig mag experimento in short kalingawan nila ang mag semi-fry ug mga hardware for their own benefit, they tend to push their hardware to the limits. mao sad ni sila na mga tao sigi upgrade minimum man cguro once a year and if there comes a new technology di jud ni sila basta2x magpa ulahi sa balita or sa mga items. although naay mga rich ug poor na mga enthusiast sa computer.
lahi2x man cguro na ang mga computer geeks ug mga tech savvy na mga persons pero naa ra silay common simillarity that is.

i7 920 is better then i7 860

X58 Setup = 1366 Socket = Last Longer, Better Overclocking, More Expensive, Faster, Better Multi GPU

P55 Setup = 1156 Socket = Won't Last Longer then X58, Less Expensive, Slower, Slower Multi GPU compared to X58

If you are starting a new setup, i suggest going straight to X58(1366 Socket) if you have the budget.

X58 Motherboards will not work with P55 Processors.
