tomorrow. So it has its place in the story
- alwayslikethis 3y agoGiven they are sold every generation, they must be practical to enough people. There are quite a lot of multithreaded tasks that can use so many cores.
- rsynnott 3y agoI haven't been keeping track lately, but these used to be "the i7, but squeeze out an extra 500MHz by adding another hundred watts", usually; has this changed?
- haunter 3y agoYeah pretty much that. They usually have the same amount of performance cores but there are more efficient cores and hence threads and on top of that they run on higher frequency too i7-14700K: 20 cores (8 performance, 12 efficient) 28 threads 5.6 Ghz i9-14900K: 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficient) 32 threads 6 Ghz It's like ~10% performance difference
