Four cores is really not that attractive... also a lack of ECC with the amount of ram systems have today is starting to seem irresponsible. The probability of getting bitflips is macroscopic.
- wtallis 12y agoI understand that the 4790K isn't really a tradional workstation chip, but it's definitely the right thing for my workload which involves a simulation that's only partially multithreaded and would benefit a lot more from higher single-core speed than it would benefit from more than 4 cores. And ECC would be nice, but in my opinion isn't a hard requirement yet for all workstation usage the way it is for servers; I can certainly get by without it, since the base failure rate of the software I'm using is much larger than that caused by hardware memory corruption.
