Since I know someone is going to ask about Thermals (And the fact that I didn't put in the thermal slides) The voltages on all these processors remained stock to achieve the speeds that we did, SO the thermals were not really any higher than stock speeds. 60s for the i7, high 50s for the i5 and low 50s for the i3.
JayzTwoCents gg jay
I've been having some weird issues with my 7700k, at stock (1.2v) I get 80+ under cpu+fpu Aida64 but only 60 when doing Aida64 just cpu. This is at an ambient on 30c, it led to me returning my cooler (h115i) thinking there was an issue but then the store sent it back to me because they found no problem with it.
Should the 7700k get that hot under that bench?
I've got the H115i, I even said above xD
Another comment was about deliding kaby lake cpus. You should investigate that and you might understand the reasons of your issue.
I did not tell him to actually delid it. Just to do some research about it in order to understand his problem.
Silent majority, dont be silent anymore! Like the video if you actually liked it
Anytime I watch a video by a creator I like, I immediately leave a like. It's easy to forgot to like a video, but its hard to take away that like or even leave a dislike once you've left a like
too much work :/ also sometimes i simply forget
Someone was watching the live show *wink*
;)
It's not that we're silent. We just have our own ways of using the ratings. But for a change I'll use the ratings more appropriately and use favorites instead of liking for a "watch again" purpose.
Kaby Lake is the biggest Rip-Off in CPU-History ever.
pSyk ?
Kaledonia23 ikr it's literally the SAME PRICE as the sky lake ones, and they have the same price!
pSyk But skylake could have already had these improvements. KABY lake was already done a while ago, when Broadwell came out. It's all 14 nm but extremely little improvements if not decrease
I'm pretty sure that the most expensive place to by any computer parts in the western world is Australia. They literally have no computer manufacturing infrastructure at all, Everything is shipped in from abroad! In Europe we have plenty of computer manufacturers, in fact most major PC components manufacturers have factory's in Europe and they just ship in the silicon and the chips from elsewhere, like America or China for example. I'm in the UK, and PC components are pretty expensive here compared to America. But nothing compared to the charges over in Australia.
Jinxt3r it's not that bad, it's just cause gst is included and shipping prices from manufactures
The new camera you're using is incredible, so sharp. Keep up the awesome work Jay.
+Seydzh Chernopiski I've been using the same camera for 4 months ;)
I know, it's just something about the lighting or maybe haven't seen a talking head video in this area of the room in a while. Just looks very clean.
which camera and lens is it?
It's that 60 fps look
60 FPS doesn't automatically mean Slow Motion. If you play back any video at the exact frame rate it was shot, you will get real-time motion. It just looks sharper because the frames are passing by faster and reducing the motion blur.
Do a video on the new Pentiums!
A1sd Gaming YES! I feel like I know more than enough about all the i5's and i7's over the past few years. But I know nothing about Intel's other processors.
Zen is coming... F*** the Pentiums! :D
Dual cores even if hyperthreaded are worthless in 2017 and frankly they should have died out ~5 years ago.... but Intel likes to milk it˙s fanbase cause money. And people would still buy this waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced $189 i3 and pair it with gtx 1070/1080 as i see in the comments.... madness and stupidity at it`s finest.
Yeah i get it that those Pentiums are also way cheaper that this i3 here and they still have hyperthreading but only a bit lower clocks and a bit less cache maybe, but still not a great value in 2017. I reckon Zen quads will land near that price ($120-150) so everyone sane should wait for that first :).
CMstacker dual cores made up 40% of steam users, then again 70% of steam users only play dota 2 or cs go.
Exactly! Dual cores are not for any serious use.... but they serve for spreadsheets and "moba" stuff and they will do for next decade for sure. But if you want AAA gaming, smooth productivity and any serious multitasking capabilities along with "power reserve" no way dual core is of any value at this point of time... and yes i consider i3 as "dual core" because that`s what it is. It only has 2 fpu units. Hyperthreading (SMT) is not always useful but physical cores are without doubt...
SR3 is a much cheaper i5 with Hyperthreading (SMT), so it is pretty cheap for what it is, about $70 off, and you don't have to spend almost the price of the cpu to overclock it since amd will be coming out with 3 different chipsets for ryzen mobos, and 2 of them have oc support, only the most basic does not to save money for the budget consumer which I think the best (and the high end one is for enthusiasts who want lots (and I mean LOTS) of pci-e lanes for 3+ ssds, hdds, multi-gpu setups and the like which 99% of us won't ever need.
TL;DR: Go with Ryzen if you want a cheap i5 oc-able version + a cheap oc mobo to go with it with some extra (not over the top) features
Jay the image quality of your videos have been looking top notch. Of course your content is always on point. Just impressed how well things look with the lighting and focus.
You're acting like a 25% FPS drop is huge for a chip that's half the price. I'd say that i3 is perfect for the average gamer with a 1060/1070!
Exactly! And we are talking about over 100s in both cases - couldnt care less with my 60Hz monitor! And I bet that even slowest new KB Pentium will have similar performance!
Mena Suvari i have a 6700k but that's just because i have a 144 Hz monitor with dual 1070s lol
Yeah, people like you are not most common LOL :D Majority of us are completly fine with 1080p/60 gaming and the way gaming industry goes I`m really not into hardware all that much and faster monitor aint gonna make me like GTA V, CoD or those kinda games any more interesting...
Mena Suvari i feel you! I was like that for a while. i3 is the way to go. I built my mom a rig and just put a i3 in it and it carries it
gonna disagree hard here. the average person isn't going to be packing a $380+ video card for 1080p so I would say the 1070 is out of here.
as for the 1060, the "average gamer" is a growing demographic that mutlitasks with different things like discord in the background. with games become more CPU intensive, I still feel like the i5 will be better. also if someone is getting an overclocking motherboard, it makes no sense to refuse to spend a few dozen dollars more on something that will last a few more years.
I really liked the way you presented the benchmark results in this video Jay, very easy to follow.
I know it's a different subject, but I heavily disagree with your statement that more games need DX12 simply because that's giving Microsoft more control of gaming. What we really need is more OpenGL and Vulkan work and support to help the Linux and opensource industry
Clacking Computer OpenGL is crap. vulkan is where it's at
Yeah, OpenGL sucks but it's better than nothing
As much as I like Linux and Opensource software, the dev's have little if any interest in supporting it.
sparkplug1018 because propel aren't using it enough. That's changing though, Linux is rising in both game library and users. If I recall correctly Linux desktops are about 3% of desktops
Clacking Computer While correct (I recall the number is somewhere around 3%) Its still hardly enough to make it even worth the effort. Plus there being several different core versions it makes it fairly hard.
If AMD Ryson CPU's are even equal to Intel CPU's I'm crushing my i5 6600k and Z170 with my 40 ton hydraulic press to buy an AMD 8 core just out of principal to say fuck you to Intel and to help AMD to keep the competition going. The last 5 generations of Intel CPU's were one giant middle finger to everyone with a brain.
Ryzen isn't going to be a cheap as people are making it out to be. From the leaked info I have seen the 8c 16t model will cost $349, the black version with higher OC will be $499. Early sample with lower clocks did really well with handbrake and multi threaded apps but in gaming it was close to i5 6500. Things could change and it could do a lot better but don't hold your breath that Ryzen is going to be the second coming of Christ and offer more perf then i7 7700k for $150. that just isn't going to happen
FUCK RYZEN FUCK VEGA. NVIDIA INTEL FUCK THE WORLD.
That last statement destroyed everyone on the internet
lol
349$ for the 8 core 16 threads CPU? WHAT? Impossible.
Intel 8 core 16 threads costs 1100$.
Man I love your style of making videos, very useful and the fact that you say "go out there and watch some other benchmarks not only mine" makes it better. I feel like I'm going to learn a lot with your content. Keep up the amazing work!
I loved the style of this video. You talking about the numbers and how you test over top of the numbers on what I thought was a beautiful design even though it was simple.
Only CPU even worth mentioning from Kaby Lake is the G4560.
Octo Dinosaur The 7400 was also a nice bump from the 6400.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how these benchmark videos averages have drastically increased over the last few months since 10 series. It's a dream come true that everything is well above 60fps now (at least at 1080p)
Honestly, I want to make a machine with that i3 and maybe a 1070, that'd be a very capable gaming system for decently cheap compared it would probably outperform my 6700k & 980Ti for WAY cheaper
NovaNinja64 try GTX 1080 1080p GTA V maxed out, drive outside the city and your frames will drop in low 40s. and even inside towns its only 75fps on average which is rather meh
UberTiger, With my 980Ti OC'd I get over 70 everywhere on almost max except for MSAA and then like DOF and those things. It's closer to average of 100 everywhere so Idk what kind fo 1080 you got... Mine is oc but still
Mrslayermastering, I didn't exactly mean literal... just emphasis
Very true, Pascal has given us some real performance upgrades. Even though I usually wait two or three generations before upgrading my graphics card, at this point I would happily swap out my 970 for a 1070 or 1080 if I wasn't saving up for a new Zen base platform...
Thank you for your easy to read data presentation. It makes your videos so much more enjoyable than other TH-camr!
Ty for the videos Jay, always a pleasure....
you should do a 7700k delid video
Isaac's Gameplays dad
delidding is pretty pointless these days. it's been tested and you might get a degree or 2 on your temps but it will make no difference on your OC or FPS
That`s where you are totaly wrong.
/watch?v=y6KFzoFwYrE
babyfacefister You're very wrong, it can get you up to 20 degrees less using liquid metal.
The amount of money he spent on the tools to do that could have bought a better cooling solution for the same results.
Assuming he isn't fudging any numbers since he provided no visual proof of his gains
amd ryzon, 8 cores, 16 threads, its all a question of $
Steve Hardy probably 600$ xD everyone will be disappointed of its price maybe
If its really faster than 6900K, its not gonna be under 500, thats for sure.
I really don't care anymore. I've been waiting soooooo long for an AMD processor that is actually an upgrade to my current Phenom II X6 that I don't care how much I have to pay for it. €300? Fine. €500? Fine. €1000? Begrudgingly still fine. I just want to be able to finally upgrade...
intel is marking up like 1000%(just a an example) for the "cost to produce/sell price" for the i7 range, remember the 7350k is just an handicapped 6700k
it should be under the price of 6900K like if its expensive than that whats the point? i would say good 600 or 700 dollars. at least you are saving 300
really like the production quality jay! crispy and really good lighting.
interesting comparison as well
Keep up the great work Jay! Thanks for all of your effort.
Actually pretty impressed, was expecting a much bigger drop off with the i3, and the advantages of DX12/newer API's are getting obvious. Great vid, liked! Could you compare a stock 7500 to an overclocked 7350k, and then a BCLK overclocked 7500 to the i3? Pretty sure the new hyperthreaded pentiums are gonna spell an end to the i3 for entry level gaming systems though.
Raffaele Lagattolla as much as people rip Intel for price Intel make good cpus
it's just as likely that DirectX 12 made total dick of a difference in Rise of the Tomb Raider and it being entirely due to Crystal Dynamics doing an excellent job of polishing these games to make them run very well on a wide range of systems.
and ofcourse what's much more important for this type of comparison, Frame Times, wasn't shown.
hm... sitting on my 8320 amd fx chip that I got around $120 in a deal 2 years ago... I don't see the appeal to the i3, I'm more interested in the pentium, or what ryzen offers.
rerako That i3 is better than your CPU so there's that
I've sat on dual cores for a long time and hate them with a flaming passion...
I had budgets constraints long ago & multi-task a lot on my computers.
The number of cores really matter a lot to me... especially when the top pentium when overclocked is likely 10 - 15% lower in power for half the price...
The i3 is factually not better than the 8320. In fact, Jay is doing a comparison to see the difference between the two.
Great video - you really know your info straight off the top.
Good work mate - best PC build channel out.
thanks for the benchmarks brah! very goof comparison and this is what we need to see.
these Kaby-lake CPU's are not worth buying
They are to someone building a new PC and is dead set on going with Intel. They are not worth it however to someone upgrading from a Devils Canyon or newer CPU.
Unless you're upgrading from something like Sandy or Ivy Bridge. And even then you're better off waiting to see what Ryzen offers with that right around the corner.
if I wait for the AMD ryzen CPU, does that means I gotta throw away my Intel motherboard?
You're going to have to throw it away anyway if you want to go from older intel chipset to newer.
so if I want to use the GTX 1080 on a budget build , should I get a core i5 7500, will that reduce the bottlenecking?
I think intel skylake cpus are alot better than kabylake in prices to performance any way nice video :)
thanks for taking the time, after a couple of test and benchmarks is hard to say about that i3, any of the i5 above 6500 and up is what I could say so far
Thanks for making this video Jay!!
Yea I am going to stick with my 6600k, good enough for me and my games.
im still here with a 4690k OC @4.2 XD, waiting for that Ryzen.
I don't think it is all that amazing honestly, your 4690k is probably going to be no worse than the Ryzen cpus
Considering the fact that people have no need to upgrade from Ivy Bridge, even Sandy Bridge, you're absolutely fine.
Ayy to the 4690k squad, got mine at 4.6 :)
you got the magical 4690K XD, i tried to get it to 4.3 but it crashses everytime im not too knowledgable to OCing.
I got stuttering issues in this video, is it the video or is it just me?
I liked how you presented the FPS as numbers. Much easier to take in than a heap of lines on a graph.
Awesome job jay, that sounds like it took alot of work, Thank you.
Dang it AMD give us Zen already!!!
I won't comment about the thermal imaging here. Lesson learned.
I'm going to use Thermal Imaging in every video from now on! THERMAL ALL THE IMAGES!!!!
awesome!!!!!!!
if you don't get a thermal image shot of Terry Crews you are missing a huge opportunity...
Good stuff Jay, keep the great content coming.
Another great video! Thanks jay!
Damn it, I'm still not going to upgrade my i5 3570K back from 2012. I've upgraded several GPUs over the years, I'm currently using 1070 G1 gaming but to be frank Intel is boring as fuck.
I adopted a new PC build every 4 years and a new gpu every 2 years cycle. That way I can get good use out of my cpu but also take advantage of the new features they include with the new chipsets (ie m.2 slots, usb 3.1, sata express) and also bump up my performance a little with a new cpu. I agree with the small 10% bumps each year in perf (cept for kaby lake) it isn't price effective to constantly upgrade
Wait...a CPU is boring? how exactly would a CPU be fun or exciting? you want a CPU that makes you touch yourself when thinking "oh man, I HAVE THIS CPU"?
That's easy, get a few of the the most extreme server CPUs Intel has and a 1-2K $ motherboard to run them. You will be in debt for a while, but at least you'll touch yourself more often, because boy oh boy, exciting CPUs, they run Windows 'n sht, even other software, like office and winrar.
Why not G4620?
I dont have one... yet!
Should've expected that... *facepalm*
It does look like a great value, which is why I'm interested. I ran the numbers versus the i3 6100/7100, 7350k and some others. Specwise it's around 33% better per dollar than any of them. Not sure about actual performance, though.
Pay close attention to my final thoughts ;-)
is that even official, I mean are they released already because that kind of came out of nowhere
+Barney Bronicorn Well... pretty sure this isn't a typo
ark.intel.com/products/97460/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4620-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz
Interesting results... Thanks again Jay
love your work, love the fact you incite viewers to watch other CPU test, on other channels (very fairplay in these egotistic days) and big shout to you from France ! shared the video on the twitter account of the gaming channel i run (Tuyatrojouey) ++
What is i5 7400 compared to i5 7500 and 6400 and 6500??
I've seen an i5 6600k for $180 at Microcenter a few times, charging that much for a dual core is a joke. Ryzen can't come fast enough.
Surpuppa I think drearierspider1 is referring to the high price of the i3 compared to the 180 dollar i5 he found
Surpuppa he means the i3 7350k should not be as expensive because the i5 is so cheap
Only guy in the interwebs that i like to watch according to reviews and stuff relating to pc gaming and overcloking. Just amazing. Thanks again Jayz
great video jay always love your videos!
I7 3770k vs I3 7350k. Don this because you can get the i7 3770k for the same price as an i3 7350k
Where can you get an i7 3770k for $180? All I can find are people trying to sell them for 400-600 bucks...
RTDragonCommando eBay.... also I meant the 2600k
Ah, the 2600k is significantly cheaper yeah. The 3770k is still up near or over $300 for the lowest priced on ebay, it was over $400 last time I checked. PC part prices are insane these days, people asking close to or more than the original price for a used part.
Clock for clock, the performance difference between a 3770K and a 7700K is 0-10%. Sauce: www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-intel-skylake-core-i7-6700k-review
lol it will murder even the 7600k if you match the clocks, and using high speed ram will only further the gap
anything after sandy bridge is a marginal improvement at best, fast DDR4 will help a lot when the cpu is being pegged but not many people demand over 100fps and by the time a 2600k cant do 60fps at the current pace of things I believe the earth wont be round anymore
Until AMD releases stuff, this cpu stuff puts me to sleep.
Most people dont need the latest and greatest video card or cpu.
Heck, I run a scc 960 and a I5 4670k and really dont need any more than this.
Mate, those comparisons were so awesome! So damn awesome! I really am not a fan of those weird same color-ish charts, please do use this style more often :)
Great graphs! Love it
How to kill Intel
RYZEN
$299.99 : 8c-16t
$259.99 : 8c-8t
$209.99 : 6c-12t
$169.99 : 6c-6t
$119.99 : 4c-8t
$79.99 : 4c-4t
jordocondi Boi just look son Excavator based Carrizo APU has 7.21 mm² CUs. This gives a process scaling factor of about 0.41. If we put this together with individual design scale factors, the Zen core size is measured to be around 4.9 mm² including L2 cache. son ryzen is almost half the size meaning it cost less to produce than excavator CPUs boi. and look up the price of the 4350 son for more proof
jordocondi ignorant little boy saying stuff and not knowing what you're talking about
jordocondi so what you're saying is that manufacturing silicon Wafers does not cost shitt boi get your head off the ground ,first off I give you that silicon is not that uncommon of an element but you said it yourself R fucking D meeting manufacturing process yes R&D has something to do with the actual final cause of the CPUs I'm not saying that R&D does not cost , but if you look at their current architecture of CPUs excavator which is almost twice as big and sold their most expensive CPU at $220 I'm not saying $300 is going to be the final price I'm saying to be the most competitive $300 should be where they launch boy and yes I like my own comment to get more upvotes so that more people would see it boi
jordocondi oh something I forgot look at the volume of sales of those $700 processors just look at the sales numbers and compare those to the sales of the i7 6700k at $300 most people spend $300 or less on their CP and that's why I put the RYZEN 8 core at $300 in my prediction same thing with Polaris in the GPU architecture you know 80% of people spend $300 or less on their graphics cards same goes for CPUs except for the CPU Market is a lot bigger than the GPU Market a hell of a lot bigger boi
$300 8c 16t Ryzen at launch? lmao not happening.
The idea behind Intel is that a decent gaming PC should cost in excess of $1,200.00 USD including OS. Which is just translates to elitism IMO, basically telling anyone with less to loose more in the long run via consoles. Yeah it's possible to build a fairly modern quad core Intel rig for a grand or less but then you're making major quality sacrifices in other areas. AMD really needs to offer their Ryzen equivalent stuff at a significantly lower price, 50-75 less won't cut it.
You seem to have a nice spark in this video. Very positive and informational.
i got SO happy to hear you mention you wanting to do a comparison on FX-8350. I've always wondered how they perform to the newest cpu's :D
thanks Jay I watched your live stream yesterday and you said you will be doing this soon so thank you for doing it so soon
Another great video! I have been watching for awhile now without commenting. On a mission to like and comment more!
Nice video JayZ, thanks!
Jay great video as always you deserve 1M subs
Good insights Jay-ty sir.
Your videos are the highest quality around. For sure!
thanks for the review jay. get some rest lol!!!!! CES and then this review right away thanks for doing all this in so short time.
nice video really looking forward for the 8350 vs i3 kaby lake video
Thanks for the Benchmarks. Would have loved to see how they compare on a higher resolution although it is a bit more focused on the gpu.
Wonderful!!! seems like im getting the i7 - 770k. and the timespye video looks very cool.
Great video! I really wonder what the rendering times in premier would be.
as per usual Jay.... god like videos bro mo! thanks for tha info man
Great video, I look forward to the FX 8350 vs I3 7350K video.
Thanks Jay! Looks like I'll be better off with the i-5 in this video with my new build given the outcome of your tests. My old rig has an i-5 4690 K and it, too was a better value for $ considering my usage needs. Loved the Terry Crews finished PC build and reveal video, btw. Keep it going, brother... It's nice to see someone else with a few "grey hairs of wisdom" having such fun creating, building and gaming! You rock.
great video jay!
I like the 60 fps video you made :) Looks extra crispy!
Your videos are really informative.
Nice video! I was quite pleased to see my MSI GT73VR Titan Pro GTX 1080 laptop score similar to your i7 7700K in Timespy, I got 7044 points and that is with an i7 6820hk at 4.1Ghz. Very informative , thanks again!
Thanks great vid J.
Love your shootout video, Jay! :)
Great vid, keep it up!!!
Thanks for the review. Giving you a link on my G+ page.
Thank You Jay!!
Nice video. Thank you Jay :)
You make the best videos man, I hope you know that.
great video jay :D you look kinda sleep deprived from ces, go and take your rest ;)
grate video man liked it =)
I have to say that the video quality looks great, Jay. I know it wasn't a cheap upgrade, but it was probably worth it.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the Shootout.
Thanks Jay!
nice comparison... subbed.
Good video thanks Jay
Great video!
great vid Jay. Cant wait to see the how the lowest ryzen stacks up against the 7350/7500. Will be an interesting first quarter no doubt
great video Jay! I'm just curious, what about a comparison between the i3 7350k vs i5 6400
Great music at the beginning 🎶
Hey Jay, love your work. I note you did everything at 1080p, will the CPU drop off be greater at 1440?
Yes! Can;t wait for the 13 vs the AMD Fx-8350, recently just bought an 8350 for my rig and would love to see where it holds up against the new intel i3 and maybe even the i5 and i7, can't wait, keep up the awesome work Jay! :)
Thanks for the informative Video, Jay. I'm trying to set up a streaming/gaming rig. Any thoughts on which CPU and Motherboard I should get?
New lens or new lighting setup for this one? Vid quality seems to have taken a step up! Lookin' Good ;)
Nice test, hope you make a similar test with ryzen lineup and a ryzen + intel comparison
I actually really like your lighting Jay
As always, nice video, Jay! But I think at the beginning of the video you said it wrong about the CPU clocks: 4.2 GHz is the i7's and the i3's BASE clock, so it should be "...500 MHz OC to the BASE clock to both the i7 and the i3...". BTW, Intel's website doesn't even list the i3's turbo clock, so does it have any? Just my two cents.
So if you 1080p game and on a budget, just build an i3 rig. You can save 20 on the cpu by not going to an i5, which is marginally better. pair it with a 1060 and play on high settings for a decent gaming experience. Once you get passed the smoke and mirror of the FPS numbers clogging your brain you'll quickly realize going 1440p gaming(over 100mhz refresh) or higher, wanting over a 100 FPS with Ultra high settings is all about bragging in a sense and kind of the same thing as buying a luxury car. Just not necessary!!! Awesome video as usual Jay.
My current computer is 3+ years old: Which runs BF4 at high settings on a 1080p 23 inch TV quite nicely, and perfectly for RB6 Seige.
i3-2100 3.1GHz
Asus P8H77 MOBO
G.Skill Sniper (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3L 12800) memory
MSI GTX760 4GB
Like I said,we have become fixated on the FPS number. If your a budget gamer than spend wisely. If you have money to blow get the best so you can have bragging rights and that sweet 200 FPS second on a game that you'll never be able to physically see the difference. Just my two CENTS.
HAPPY GAMING ALL!
would love to see a benchmark of the i3 and 8350fx. thanks you rock Jay
Hi Jay.
Whit your previous background on IT u should be able to find a developer that could set up a normal use case for a programer, for example a virtual machine running the server of an app, android Studio IDE and and the android emulator, spotify for music some tabs open on chrome, skype or similar.
This could help other branch of people to get more from your videos beside the typical gaming/overclok that u are more focused on (not that its bad or anything like that).
For me running my laptop that has a i5-5200U and 8GB of ram with dual monitor and a workflow similar to that one I have a lot of issue and would be nice to have some more feedback on this kind of usage to decide what to put on my next pc
