Күн бұрынTesting the Intel i7-3820 Socket 2011 quad core CPU from 2012 in 9 popular and demanding games in 2022.
Sandy Bridge i7s were legendary for their performance and overclocking capability. Some would even argue they have a place in a gaming PC today. So why can you pick up this particular one for less than £20, sometimes as little as £12 in 2022?

Former 3930k owner here and I remember the reviews for the i7-3820. The way to overclock it was by changing the CPU Strap to 125x (or higher) and lowering the multiplier. Moving the CPU Strap to say 125MHz would also safely move the speed for the PCH. I tried overclocking my 3930k this way, which was somewhat similar to overclocking on the x58 platform. You also have to watch the RAM speeds. This platform was released on Nov 14 2011

I can't think of any reason why someone would want one of these as it's slow and underequipped compared to the Xeons you can also buy for the same socket - this i7 is the same gen as the v1 E5 Xeons and is built with 32nm tech, the v2 revision moved to 22nm and was significantly faster and less power hungry. The one I'd recommend is the E5-2680v2 as it's easily found for about 20ukp, has 10 cores instead of the 4 of this i7 and is more than twice as fast. The Xeon uses less wattage, has greater memory bandwidth, supports faster memory and ECC which means you can use much cheaper ECC memory sticks, it also has PCI-E 3.0, whereas this i7 is still PCI-E 2.0. If you want to spend even less money, you can buy a v1 Xeon such as the E5-2667 for less than this i7 and still have significantly more performance, in the case of the E5-2667, about 50% more, and I paid just 10ukp for a matched pair of them a couple of months ago to upgrade a system that couldn't accept v2 Xeons.

using Civ 6 to benchmark CPU it's good to keep in mind that the game runs primarily with two threads, so single core cpu are heavily penalized (hundreds of seconds per turn in late game like turn 100 or something). typically much past 4 threads gets little benefit, but still scales upwards a bit. this is why a 5600X can sometimes beat the 5950X. there is a difference between physical cores and HT cores (so an i5 4 core without HT will still typically beat an i3 2 core with HT) but it's not huge. cache size, minimum 2 cores (preferably capable of 4 threads), and clock speeds generally will determine performance. so small/slow cache performance will hurt this benchmark, as will lack of multithread performance. even good MT performance can take a hit if the clock speed is poor.

I adore that platform since it's so affordable, it has features that are significant even today, it has AVX2 instructions, and it can compete with early Ryzen 6-core CPUs. K SKUs were the start of Intel trying to cash in on the overclocking craze since people could extract extra performance at almost no cost (meaning no extra money goes to Intel in the process, but to the utility company they pay their power bill to).

Really? "The 1st Player DK D4 Mid Tower Gaming Case - White" for £33.99 on their own site looks to be exactly the same cheap China quality with just as "crappy" looking fans... Also I found out what the brand of PSU is - "GameMax" .... Soooo what £40 is a much more realistic price for that one right? ... so £522.41 ... and then the wrong GPU... 689.99 - 522.41 = £167,58 to build a PC........ jeeeesssssss so it takes their crew a full day to build a PC - rather than the about 23 minutes it takes me to build an average PC in a Thermaltake H18 including cable management using velcro ties... (at least a few years ago when I was a system builder 😀) ... we used to make a lot on that with adding about £50-£80 to the price here in Denmark... These people apparently want 2-3x that.... Yeah don't do that 😀

Yeah just went down the rabbit hole looking at prices in the UK... In an online store called Scan - this is what I found for £100+ less AMD Ryzen 5 5500, AM4, Zen 3, 6 Core, 12 Thread £94.99 AsRock A520M HDV, AMD A520 £49.99 Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB 3600 MHz DDR4 Dual Channel Memory Kit £38.99 Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe £55.99 Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT PULSE 8GB 229.99 Corsair CV Series 650W 80+ Bronze £63.98 Thermaltake Versa H18 £39.98 = £585.42 That's just insane... Other than the motherboard which is a waste unless you have AT LEAST a 5600X - if not 5700X - that's just flat out a better system - for £104 less...Also the 650W PSU is a bit overkill considering the "estimated wattage" of the system is 325W - however - having overhead on the PSU is good. Could make do with a 500W though.... In conclusion: Jeeeeesss be careful English people when ordering a PC! LOL That's some grade A BS right there 😀

I upgraded from an X99 system with a Broadwell-E i7 6850K to a 12th gen 12400F system, and even 60FPS feels much smoother now. Games that used to stutter have stopped now other than game engine stuff you just can't get around with even the best hardware. But even those engine blips that some games have on all hardware are at least greatly minimized now. It's all about single core performance.

I7 2700k was like the greatest gaming CPU ever when it was released then it was like shit these things just get a lil better every year till Ryzen caught up with them in 2020 or when ever the 5000 series Ryzen processors came out. And even today it’s definitely not faster to be on Ryzen and it’s within 20-50 watts different the Intel being a lot more effecient at some workloads and the heaviest full thread Benchmark the Intel will use more power than Ryzen but not many people are running artificial benchmarks all the time …

The i7-870 is still a 1st Gen chip. Your Lynnfield processor along with Clarksfield processors are part of the 'Client' platform, whereas the i7-900 series (Bloomfield and Gulftown) are part of the HEDT platform. With the 1st Generation, Intel released their HEDT platform almost a year before they released their Client platform. With the 2nd Gen, Intel released their HEDT platform almost a year after they released their Client platform. Client/Mainstream, lga1156, 1155, 1150, 1151, 1200, and 1700 HEDT, lga1366, 2011, 2011-v3, and 2066.
