Minor nitpick and just FYI--SMT doesn't work that way. It's a very common misconception. There isn't such thing as a "real" core and a "SMT" core--both logical CPUs represented by a physical core with SMT are 100% equal--they just share execution resources. It's important that the thread scheduler understand this for self-obviating performance reasons.
I still haven't completed my Ryzen 1700 build (despite having all the parts on launch day + 2), but I haven't finished my parts-complete 6950X build either, so... -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of lopaka polena Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 9:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] New Ryzen PC Build Ryzen 1700 is the best pick. Most will run at 3.8 to 4.0 GHz and outperform a similar clocked i7 in everything but gaming. It's a great workhorse CPU for multitasking. If you don't have a Jet account, new sign ups can get 15% off the first 3 orders. I set up a Jet account to drop the cpu price to $300 instead of the usual $329. I ususally use amazon for everything but was lokking to get the deal. If your current i7 uses DDR4 you can use your ram from that system and the PSU most likely. The motherboard I linked to is about 79$ Not bad and Its cool to see 16 cores showing on my CPU widget :) 8 real cores and 8 hyperthreaded lopaka On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 5:57 PM, Mike Broussard <[email protected]> wrote: > Very nice.
