Intel Core i7 4930K Extreme Hex Core CPU Retail (Socket 2011, 3.40GHz, 12MB, 130W, Hyper-Threading Technology, Virtualisation for Directed I/O)

È senza dubbio un processore piuttosto costoso ma vale fino all'ultimo centesimo. Prima di pubblicare la recensione ho provato a spremerlo un po' con giochi, video editing, AutoCAD...tutte applicazioni piuttosto pesanti ma non ha fatto una piega. Se si ha anche la possibilità di affiancarlo con altro hardware di buon livello più che un Pc, ci si trova tra le mani un missile. Per gli indecisi frenati dal fatto che costa un po' di più rispetto ad altri processori, è bene che sappia che sono soldi ben spesi, questo carro armato non sarà obsoleto per un bel po' di tempo...

La caja venia un poco maltratada, pero es por el tiempo que estuvo almacenada. Pero el procesador funciona al 100..

Compré este procesador a principios de 2014 para renderizados de animación 3D complejos y aluciné con la velocidad a la que renderizaba. Terminaba los renderizados tan rápido que decidí aumentar los efectos especiales, la resolución y los detalles en pantalla para que se viera mejor sin perder mucho tiempo. Y para juegos, llevo montado una R9 270x de gama media y lo que me falta de gráfica, lo compensa con este procesador en ajustes Ultra. Encima lo compré en su mejor precio, 495€.

This is a wonderful CPU for those who need it or would benefit from the perks of the extra cores. The thermal performance of these chips is reflected wonderfully by the price; the die is soldered onto the IHS, meaning that there is increased thermal conductivity between the surface and the external heatsink being used. I can run this chip at 4.6GHz easy with an air cooling Hyper 412s with dual Noctua NF-F12 push-pull method running at ~300rpm and the temperatures rarely rise above 45c. This is a chip I would recommend to anyone who knows where and when this would be useful, and would say to people that unless you will trully use its features, save the money and stick with the Z platform, you will likely get the same performance in the things that you do.

There were some games that were unplayable when more than 10 people are on the screen. I thought I needed to update my gfx card (evga gtx 680 superclocked). Nope, turns out that the gpu's perfectly fine and can play in max settings 120hz (1920x 1080 in 3d) almost without a hiccup. I probably won't need to upgrade it for another 3-5 year or so (but I'll probably get the maxwell because I hate being out of date). All I did was replace my amd fx8150 (and obviously the mobo). Wow, smooth as a baby, no more studder. I guess it turns out that the fx8150 was the bottleneck (oc'd to 4ghz). I thought cpus were better than that nowadays? I guess not. For the last 10 years I've been AMD all the way. But now I guess I'm going to be an intel fanboy. Okay, I suppose AMD is still the best bang for the buck hands down. But if you want top raw performance, AMD won't give it to you. I heard the fx9000 series were disappointing and not that much better so I took a chance on this 4930k which was cheaper, I'm glad I did! Pros: -No pins, wow when did that happen? I was worried because instead of pins, the cpu and mobo only had tiny gold bumps. I'm not too fond of connections that don't lock in, but I also don't like accidentally bending pins. I guess these guys know what they're doing. -4.2ghz without even trying to oc. like seriously. I just put turboost on auto and it maxes out at 4.2ghz when it needs to and comes back down to 1.5ghz on idle. Well I'm sure I probably did something while stumbling through the bios. -Processor speed debate aside, this thing is the fastest cpu I've owned. I probably wont need to upgrade until they come up with quantum cpus. -Very cool, not as hot as the other intel processors I've had in the distant past. Also I suck at putting on thermal paste, can't ever figure it out. So I'm glad this runs cold. Cons: Its too sexy, I caved in and bought it. I'm hope some of you have more willpower than I do.
