<guest_53> Yeah i7 Ivy Bridge Quad Core 3770k 1150 socket?
<camerongray> Ahh, in that case you could probably save some money and move down to an i5 4670k - The i7's hyperthreading isn't really used in games
<guest_53> What would you say a good processor is? One for gaming but you know general stuff aswell, preferably multitasking.
<lostcoast> then why would the i5's hyper work if i7 wont?
<lostcoast> I see no basis for that statement
<camerongray> lostcoast: The i5 doesn't hyperthread - That's the main difference between the i5 and i7

<camerongray> Mobile i5s do, not the desktop ones
<lostcoast> I dont see why it wouldnt use hyper still
<camerongray> Games don't use the 8 threads
<lostcoast> the controller uses them
<camerongray> Controller?
<Hopebot> controller: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/c/controll.htm
<lostcoast> no matter if games are built not to
<camerongray> What is this "controller"
<guest_53> What about an i7 4770k?
<lostcoast> it uses the cores/threads
<patio> Doesn't mean the CPU will under-perform a lesser CPU...it just means the game itself doesn't utilise whats available.
<camerongray> Exactly
<lostcoast> distributes the load
<lostcoast> anyway bbl
