I have got this question a couple of times regarding which processor to choose from the latest intel Sandy Bridge processors when making a new gaming computer, does it make sense to go with the higher i7 processor or will the i5 be more than enough, continue reading to find out.
Both these new Core i (2nd generation, LGA Socket 1155) also know as Sandy Bridge processor from Intel the i5 and i7 are basically quad core processors and if you even look at the clock speeds the i5 processor (2500 model) is clocked at 3.3 Ghz and the i7 processor (2600 model) is clocked
at 3.4 Ghz so in terms of raw clock speed perfromance you are not getting that much from a i7 processor, but one thing that is different is that in an i7 processor is that hyper-threading is enabled so applications that can use hyper-threading see the processor as a 8 core processor instead of 4 cores but again for gaming a i5 processor is more than enough, in-fact for a gaming computer the graphic card plays a more important role than the processor itself as in most of the games the graphic card is the bottle neck for the performance and not the processor so I would suggest for a gaming computer you go for the i5 2500K processor which offers the best bang for your buck and invest the money saved in a better graphic card, see the video I made below for more info.
Hi,
so wht i understand is tht i5 has enough jucie to play games .. and i7(hyper threading) is of no use for me as i am jus gonna play games and facebook..
But my quest doesnt end here.. i want a laptop.. but there arent many options wid an i5 and a kickass graffix card.. max i can find is an i5 wid abt 6 gb ram and 1 gb video ram.. n the same manufacturer will give an i7 wid 12gb ram n 2/3 gb video ram.. I have been checking all .. Alienware.. Dell.. Toshiba.. Asus.. heck even sony..
please help me out if u can.. thanks..!!!
Hi Sahil buying a gaming laptop is tricky coz they use mobile processors and they are a whole different breed of chips only a few are i7 chips are quad core and other chips are dual-cores but most of them have hyper-threading enabled even some low power i7 are just dual-core so please check the exact chip model number and check what you are getting you certainly do not want those low power i7 chips for gaming laptop if you want 4 cores then I guess i7 is the way again as I mentioned check which mobile chip is in the laptop coz not all i7 mobile chips have 4 cores…. Alienware make good gaming laptops IMHO.
Again for gaming 1 GB RAM Video RAM IMHO is enough and 2 GB is more than enough again go for a powerful mobile graphic chip than looking for the most amount of VRAM on the graphic chip also I do not think more than 8 GB RAM would be required for gaming on a laoptop.
i have a gtx460 overclocked it myself and a Q8200 2 quad processor with 8gb ddr2 ram and 1tb hard.I’m thinking if I should upgrade to an i5 for a game like battlefield 3. Will it make a much difference than a q8200?
@infidel94: To be frank I did not yet check the minimum specs for Battlefield 3 but from the trailers I have seen, this game is going to be a beast and to run BF3 at high settings you would require a modern processor and a powerful graphic card your processor though it’s a quad core the architecture core2 is a bit old now, I think so upgrading to i5 @ 2500K would give you a boost in your gaming.
i buy i5 2500 what do u think how much performance i lose 10% 20% or more then?{i upgrade pc only for games} btw i have still my old graphic card{ nvidia 8600gt} n want to buy nvidia gtx 550ti what do u think about 550ti? thanks
@zo0mmax: i5 2500 for gaming is more than enough, I would suggest go for i5 2500K as you can do overclocking if needed in the future……. for graphic chip nvidia 550ti is a okay but is a mid-range chip if you plan to run games at mid-settings its okay, but I doubt you might be able to run the latest games at maxed out at high resolutions with that card also check 560 Ti if the pricing is okay I would say go with that one as those are good mid-range cards.
@geekyranjit thank you very much for your time. you right gtx 560ti is very good then 550.i search on gogl bt also a huge price differences.i read some comments in a fourm which thy say when the kepler {new nvidia series they will release in q11 or in early 2012 } the 5series will go down 50%or more the because its a different teachnology… i think i ll go for 560ti a best combination with i5.thanks fr helpful reply. sorry for bad eng
hi,
ranjit…….actually i got to know about this site via your you-tube video…..was very good…..
if u dont mind plz help me with your expertise in purchasing a laptop…..
my basic purpose would be…..wathing HD movies , high-end games(like COD ops etc), lots of internet, other multimedia stuff…..im not gonna do any video editing or other high project which an engineer do…..
here are my few choices :
HP – Pavilion dv6-6121TX
IdeaPad Y570 Laptop – 086228U –
Qosmio X775-Q7270 (gtx-560m 1.5 gb far superior) (so far my first choic but 17.3 isnt too big or not)
asus g53sw (gtx 460m 1.5gb)
if any other brand or product plz do suggest……..
budget=50000 to 62000 ….
Hi Bajrang I do not currently review laptops so cannot help with a specific model etc…
If gaming was not imp then I would have suggested a thin and light laptop with an i5 processor with 4 GB RAM would be more than enough but with gaming a powerful GPU comes into picture.
Look for a model with i5 processor and a good GPU, I do not recommend HP right now look for Dell XPS, Toshiba, Asus and Acer laptop model, for a laptop screen size is a personal preference if you are going to move a lot then the 17″ screen laptop IMHO will be pretty heavy and big so keep that in mind.
The graphic card 560m is a good graphic card and you should be able to play most of the games with that also if you budget is not permitting you even the 460m graphic card is okay for todays games but you might need to keep the details at medium with some up coming games.
Cheers,
Ranjit

thanks ranjit,
ohkiew …so i have decided 15.6, but in dell XPS is over hyped, and i searched the site of ACER “India”(MAx are low end lappys), acer doesn’t provide good range bet 45000-55000, and ASUS not much found in public, now i have been told toshiba qosmio q775 not available in india,
according to my req(confi) and budget HP DV6(AMD 6770m) and lenovo y570(GT 555m) are available and u said u wouldn’t recommend HP ,
plzz suggest if it is ok to buy either of them………which one should i go for, in most areas both are similar , even graphic card tech(both are class 1).
iam not gonna play games on daily basis, but yeah if in case, i should be able to play latest ones no matter high details or low details……
and 1 thing more, in a good high performance entertainment purpose lappy whether i should go for 4 gb ram or more(if it doesn’t enough) and resol 1366×768 or 1920×1080.
@zo0mmax buy the very best possible graphics card you can right now. 580. if you go 570.. get the 2gb version. go stock 560 not ti. not worth it. if you can SLI in the future DO IT. anyhow.. go stock always. not overclocked, superclocked, or the ti. They cause problems down the road and as TI vs stock 560.. literally…5% increase in performance. not worth it. If your mobo doesnt support SLI get at least a 570. preferably 580. Run your games at 1920×1080 or lower for best performance.
i’m gonna have the i5 2400 for gaming and a sapphire radeon hd 6770 and 4gb ram is it gonna be enough for about next 3-4 years before I need to upgrade something because im on a low budget??
@xxSymbiotexx no sorry im gonna have an upgrade, im gonna have:intel core i5 2500 3.3 ghzkingston 4gb 1600mhz ram 2x2gigabyte radeon hd 6850 1gb gddr5cooler master cx 650w psuis this anything better?
@dinocelikovic: Okay mid-range config for gaming, yeah but as suggested by xxSymbiotexx go for 8 GB Ram its really cheap these days and you will be able to multitask a lot better again if you are going with 8 GB Ram then go with Windows 7 64 bit.
@geekyranjit i cant go with 8gb because im on a tight budget and the difference in price between 4gb and 8 gb is about $40 and im already gonna have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit!!
@dinocelikovic: Oh I see… not a problem coz 4 GB is pretty good and if you want to upgrade RAM on a later stage you can do that upgrading RAM is one of the easiest thing we can do……. BTW RAM is expensive where you live here we can get 8 GB 1333Mhz DDR3 (2 x 4GB) for about $55 – 60.
@SmileeDude23: Even latest heavy games like BF3, Crysis 2 / COD4 / MW3 the i5 it’s more than enough……. so essentially you do not need the i7, I wont argue you can see CPU benchmarks for that it’s better to put that extra money for a beefed up graphic card especially for games like BF3 where you want all the eye candy.
The i5 2500k spanks the i7 2600k, no games support hyperthreading. So if your building a gaming rig the i5 2500k is better. It also bench’s better then the 2600k in some games. So save $100 and get the BETTER chip. Spend the $100 and get a 6970 or something and start running games maxed out.
@Amuffin456: Yep I agree, if you work with video and do editing stuff the i7 2600K is a better chip but for just gaming the i5 2500K is more than enough.
@Amuffin456 That is true, but who does CPU intensive tasks on home computers anymore? The only reason to get a i7 is if your a huge photoshop or video editing/rendering person. Other then that its a waste of money.
can you explain exactly what these processors are, what they do and how? Just sort of simply as possible so I can find out just what they are and why they are so good. Thanks.
@Amuffin456: Yep they are like semi-unlocked processors the multiplyer can ben increase a little bit from the stocks and also change the BCLK so you can go around 4 Ghz, I could not personally test the same coz I processors that I have are all the K versions.
@TheArunsaru: Actually you can overclock this processor a little again it will also depend upon the motherboard that you are using,The motherboard that can support overclocking are the P67 & Z68 for sandy bridge processors.
@geekyranjit: For gaming you do not require those 6 core E processors but if you are heavily in 3D modeling or video production then those processors can help do note the E processors is pretty expensive about $990
@yuvraj5174 is that true? i always thought nVidia cards are better for gaming. how does the AMD Radeon 6950 2GB GDDR5 compare to the nVidia Geforce GTX 560 1GB GDDR5 ? I’m actually plannnig to buy a PC so this would be helpful
@LeevuskaRakastaa i7 950 / 960 / 2600k. best prozessors amd dont have good prozessors for start 5 games in 1 min. my i7 do it i can start portal 2 skyrim gta 4 half life 2 quake and driver. in max 2 min all of this works with 4.0 ghz on 19 % prozessor and 38 ° coolermaster v8 and the new amd with 8 cores is like q6600 with 3.0 ghz or more.
hey is dell inspiron 15r the new model good….wid i5 processor and nvidia geforce gt 525 m……….. is it a good gamin device …… plz send me da answer to nikjohn1997@gmail.com
@jdcresswell Funny seeing this comment just 2 days after i decided never to buy an AMD again.Used to have phenom 9750, then switched to phenom II x4 955BE and after that phenom II x6 1090T cause i had performance issues in many newer games (and i thought it was just bad optimization, cause with each of those upgrades i got like 5 fps increase). Anyways, 2 days ago i swtiched to i5 2400 and performance in ALL games jumped sky high! Every game that had a FPS drop anywhere now runs 60+fps steady!
@gowtham228: Did you benchmark and test with a dozen games AMD used to be great earlier…… but the best gaming chip right now is the i5 2500K and again its also a great number cruncher not to mention comparable AMD chips consume a lot more power (electricity).
I would not upgrade now since Ivy Bridge is coming this summer.Same goes for new 3d cards coming out. nVidia summer 2012 and ATI jan feb 2012.For gaming the clock speed is still the most important part in regards to CPUs.Another thing that is important in regards to the future is the console marked. Both Xbox360 and the PS3 will still be the top end consoles for 2012. So you wont see a huge tech leap in most AAA PC games ether, with a few exemptions.If you have a decent rig now, wait.
which is beter procesor for gaming laptop with nvdia gt540 2gb 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2760QM processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.50 GHzor2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM processor 2.00GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.90 GHz integrated intel graphics 1.5gb
@optuke: The one with the nvidia graphics chip, BTW if you want to do serious gaming I suggest option for a desktop coz the gaming on a laptop is highly crippled experience.
@gowtham228 k i need a good processor from AMD for gaming pls.. now i am using intel core2 duo if i play games computer has been fozen…so i only asking
@gowtham228 Don’t go AMD if you want a good gaming CPU, go intel the 1155 platform is highly upgradable. An i3-2100 out preforms almost all AMD quad core CPU’s in gaming. Get an i3-2100 or any i5 CPU on the 1155 platform and u will dominate over all AMD’s in gaming.
@gowtham228 Are you fucking kidding me. fucking Intel is best for gaming. AMD are for servers. with 3 way gtx 580 sli wont even bottleneck an i5 2500K @ stock speeds.
@optuke i recommended not to get a gaming laptop its crappy and if you buy desktop at the same price its like x2 better then the laptop that you want to buy
@optuke BRO DOn’t buy a laptop for gaming. I was like you and bought one 8 yrs ago. I was left behind in gamming in 2 years after purchase. Desktop are cheap .. and fater for gaming!
I would recommend i7-2600k if you got a good budget, because newer games takes advantage of more than 4 cores, which is good in the future if you got a i7.
@longmage4 The i7-2600k only has four-cores. The question arises due to the hyper-threading feature of the i7 which is not available on the i5. And no, you’d want to purchase the i5 because games do not take advantage of the hyperthreading.
i have a i7 870 currently is it worth upgrading to the lga1155 socket i7 or just keep the 870 and use the money to go to a better graphics card? i have a ati 5770 currently, please reply thanks
@mrDakiller101 so much processor speed is not needed for gaming, you can use a core quad cpu aswell. if you want to buy a gpu add one more ati 5770 on your pc and you will be ok.
@solidsnake2164: i3 is also a very good processor but not ideal for extreme gaming, I recently suggested the i3 with Nvidia 550 for a budget gaming rig.
okye,i understood that i5 is enough for gaming & graphics card plays the most vital role,but what about the inbuilt graphics card of i5 processor & motherboard??? pls answer me,what will be the most suitable for gaming….
@debayanbasu11: If you going to play the latest 3D games the internal integrated graphic chip on these Sandybridge chips like i5 / i7 is no good its just good enough for basic games and desktop functionality but if you are going to play the 3D games then you need the dedicated graphic card GPU.
i heard there will be new processors coming this year(i5,i7etc etc etc damn how many i5s).should i wait for the new i5?or should i buy i5 2500k?will i5 2500k and HD 6950 be enough for gaming for next couple of years?and yeah i wont buy i7 coz they are “EXPENSIVE”.Please reply guys. NEED HELP!
Good video. I like that you don’t have any annoying edits. The jump cuts in most videos can get annoying. This video had a lot of information in one, natural take.
got a clarkdale (or however is written..) I5 3,2 GHz 650, and i have never had problems with it, now running it along with a GTX 560 and i can max out almost all the games
@wwecyprusguy: as mentioned in the video a i5 is more than enough get a good graphic card like Nvidia 560 or ATI Radeon 6870 a powerful graphic card is more important than the processor for good fps in gaming.
What would i just for my computer i am building? I am not and extreme gamer but i have games like: minecraft, spore, tropica 4, sims, xplanes. would would i go for i3 processor and nvidia 550?
Actualy the only big diffrence betwen i5 and i7 seven is hyper threading that is the feature that i7 has and i5 doesnt but, for gaming that is not usable it just makes more heat and therefore less overclock ablity:D If u video editing then i7 is beast:D
I am SO SORRY for this….but I burst out laughing at the absolutely perfect situation of an Indian basically giving out Tech Support. It was too brilliant, so sorry On the actual content I’d say, very good advice. I’d only recommend the i7 for really very processor-heavy software.
@guru00005: I am talking about desktop processors here and with a i7 vs i5 you are not going to get much performance increase in gaming…… better to invest that money in a better faster GPU coz that’s the most imp thing for a gaming rig…. essentially the current crop of i5 are just i7 but just hyper-threading is disabled…. also any current game will not take advantage of more than 4 cores.
@Darkmanskin Why would you need 16 gigs of RAM o_0 … in my opinion difference between 4 gigs on 32-bit OS and 12 gigs on 64-bit OS is minimal (isn’t worth the money). And I think the 64-bit OS is shittier but that’s just my opinion =3
@violatorx7 Why do people buy cars that can do 200 MPH and will never drive it that fast. Why do I wear a tie? Ties are useless if you ask me. Why do I have a kitchen table and always eat at my desk? Why do I have two cats? Why do I live in the Bronx?
I wanna play gta IV; going slow(laggy) i wanna play needforspeed underground; somtimes i can play, but most of the time laggy, i think its the processor what is a good good but not to expansive processor?
@Prowerdnapro intel i5 2**** series although ivy bridge will be out in the late spring/summer time so you may wanna wait……… are your graphics cards drivers up to date? post your specs maybe ranjit will give you a reply
i agree there is no point in spending the money on the i7, that money is better spent on the graphics card a prime example is my rig i5 2500k, 16GB 1600mhz RAM, Radeon 6850 2GB 256-bit gfx card, Z68 board. my friends is an i7 2700k, same RAM, Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit, same board and we benchmark at right around the same FPS (im talking a 1-3 fps difference) i saved alot more money on my rig then he did (230usd for i5 370usd for i7)
@IIxBLAZziiN69x: Yes a very good combination will be able to play any game you throw at the same but remember with that processor model you will not be able to do much over-clocking with the same.
im gonna get 2500k, ima gonna pass i7 cus im just a gamer, no editing or anything like that, and i think i will throw my old HD5850 there too so i dont need to buy new gfx….. for 2500k i already bought today corsair H80, and also i upgraded case from chieftec max case to Haf x, also i think i will get 8gigs of ram for the moment, i can always add more if i need but i wont cus i just play games
Since you didn’t mention this, I thought I’d post my 2c:First of all, “i5″ and “i7″ are marketing titles, it doesn’t actually refer that much to the performance. An i7 2617m is vastly inferior to an i5 2410m. Do not judge a CPU on the names, but the specific chip.Secondly, the i5 2500k is BETTER for gaming than the i7 2600k. The 2600k had added hyperthreading, which does NOT affect gaming performance at all. The additional l2 cache and 100mhz higher stock clock isn’t worth the extra money.
@christoiMc: I did mention the difference between the i5 and i7 also in this video I am talking about the desktop variants the mobile variants of these intel processors are seriously crazy messed up even some i7 are not quad cores….. But for a desktop & gaming as mentioned in the vid i5 is more than enough the i7 is not a bad processor it does generate more heat…. and if you do video / audio stuff apart from gaming the i7 beats the i5. I personally use i7 coz I work a lot with video.
id go i7 2700k 1 games now if you are maxing the setting out are starting to use more than 2 cores for example bfbc2 bf3 skyrim ect. id go i7 2700k future proof, don’t go for 2600k the 2700k it a better overclocker some people might say that they are just a way for Intel to make more money by store overclocking them but by them doing that little extra they are really meaning you don’t have to worrier about it being a bad over clocker and being unstable at high clocks
Which one is better 2GB Radeon HD 6550A or 2 gb Nvidia GeForce GT 425m? these graphic cards are offered on the hp touchsmart all in one pc I got the quad 2nd gen i7 and I picked the Radeon hd I know these are not top of the line gaming pc’s I would pretty much use it for watching movies, music, pictures,internet and playing sims games and some online games nothing too intense as I’m not a big pc gamer I do that on ps3 and xbox please help thank you

I’m a music producer and I simply want something that can give me a lot of processing power as well as good sound quality. What do you think of the Toshiba Qosmio with the i7 2670 processor?
@geekyranjit I’m a music producer and I simply want something that can give me a lot of processing power as well as good sound quality. What do you think of the Toshiba Qosmio with the i7 2670 processor?
i5 2500k is not “better” for gaming than the i7 2600k, its just more affordable for similar “gaming” result. 2600k have other purposes than just gaming. you might have meant that but i just wanted to clear any misunderstanding (:

i7 Extreme hex core simply because multimedia producing use a lot of processing power. Downside is it’s $1000. If you do just get an i7, note you can only expand it out to 32 GB of Ram, while the Extreme can have up to 64, another downside.Whatever is better for your budget and how heavy and in depth the programs and music your making is really a big deciding factor.
Man, can you give me an advice? An AMD HD 7970 or a GTX 680 ? I’m planning to use it with a 2500k or 2600k overclocked to 4,5 Ghz. Any advices please ? I don’t know what card I should buy, because now both cards can run all the games
hi, i apreciate your video!i decided to buy an intel core i5 and an AMD readon saphire 7950!is it good mix?and what MOBO should i buy?i want something that gives me a big range for upgrades, like the new MSI gd-65 (i think)couse it has 3x 3.0 pci-e 16x!! but should i go with a cheaper MOBO? with an z68 chipset??tell me, there are lots of MOBO, and i don’t know where to pick!
Yeah good config…… for motherboards you should go with Z68 chipset coz you can do overclocking and on a later stage add a small SSD so that you can take advantage of intel SRT…. motherboard brands I prefer Asus, Gigabyte and MSI…… just check the one which gives the max warranty….. generally the deluxe model of boards offer more options and also wifi on the board if you require that.
i have a:Intel Core i5-2320 (3ghz) (3.3ghz turbo booster)Nvidia Geforce 530 (2770 MB)and 4GB Ram.And i still play fsx with a little lag (at maximum settings)

Im not playing zelda we dont use rubys
i have a gtx460 overclocked it myself and a Q8200 2 quad processor with 8gb ddr2 ram and 1tb hard.I’m thinking if I should upgrade to an i5 for a game like battlefield 3. Will it make a much difference than a q8200?
@infidel94: To be frank I did not yet check the minimum specs for Battlefield 3 but from the trailers I have seen, this game is going to be a beast and to run BF3 at high settings you would require a modern processor and a powerful graphic card your processor though it’s a quad core the architecture core2 is a bit old now, I think so upgrading to i5 @ 2500K would give you a boost in your gaming.

if any other brand or product plz do suggest……..
budget=50000 to 62000 ….
Hi Bajrang I do not currently review laptops so cannot help with a specific model etc…
If gaming was not imp then I would have suggested a thin and light laptop with an i5 processor with 4 GB RAM would be more than enough but with gaming a powerful GPU comes into picture.
Look for a model with i5 processor and a good GPU, I do not recommend HP right now look for Dell XPS, Toshiba, Asus and Acer laptop model, for a laptop screen size is a personal preference if you are going to move a lot then the 17″ screen laptop IMHO will be pretty heavy and big so keep that in mind.
The graphic card 560m is a good graphic card and you should be able to play most of the games with that also if you budget is not permitting you even the 460m graphic card is okay for todays games but you might need to keep the details at medium with some up coming games.
Cheers,
Ranjit
thanks ranjit,
ohkiew …so i have decided 15.6, but in dell XPS is over hyped, and i searched the site of ACER “India”(MAx are low end lappys), acer doesn’t provide good range bet 45000-55000, and ASUS not much found in public, now i have been told toshiba qosmio q775 not available in india,
according to my req(confi) and budget HP DV6(AMD 6770m) and lenovo y570(GT 555m) are available and u said u wouldn’t recommend HP ,
plzz suggest if it is ok to buy either of them………which one should i go for, in most areas both are similar , even graphic card tech(both are class 1).
iam not gonna play games on daily basis, but yeah if in case, i should be able to play latest ones no matter high details or low details……
and 1 thing more, in a good high performance entertainment purpose lappy whether i should go for 4 gb ram or more(if it doesn’t enough) and resol 1366×768 or 1920×1080.
thanks a lot for helping
bajrang
@zo0mmax buy the very best possible graphics card you can right now. 580. if you go 570.. get the 2gb version. go stock 560 not ti. not worth it. if you can SLI in the future DO IT. anyhow.. go stock always. not overclocked, superclocked, or the ti. They cause problems down the road and as TI vs stock 560.. literally…5% increase in performance. not worth it. If your mobo doesnt support SLI get at least a 570. preferably 580. Run your games at 1920×1080 or lower for best performance.
i7! i7 is better and faster but not a big difference as the i5. i have i5, i recomend starting with the i5 processor and buy the i7 later on
@kevsol2 there is no difference for gaming, i7 is better for multitasking and video editing.
@kevsol2: Yep for gaming in particular a i5 chip like 2500 or 2500K is more than enough, a powerful graphic card is more important.
i’m gonna have the i5 2400 for gaming and a sapphire radeon hd 6770 and 4gb ram is it gonna be enough for about next 3-4 years before I need to upgrade something because im on a low budget??
@dinocelikovic 3 – 4 years? Probably not
@xxSymbiotexx no sorry im gonna have an upgrade, im gonna have:intel core i5 2500 3.3 ghzkingston 4gb 1600mhz ram 2x2gigabyte radeon hd 6850 1gb gddr5cooler master cx 650w psuis this anything better?
@dinocelikovic hell yes thats better. Might want to get 8 GB of RAM but thats not really for gaming. Just multitasking and video rendering
@dinocelikovic: Okay mid-range config for gaming, yeah but as suggested by xxSymbiotexx go for 8 GB Ram its really cheap these days and you will be able to multitask a lot better again if you are going with 8 GB Ram then go with Windows 7 64 bit.
@geekyranjit i cant go with 8gb because im on a tight budget and the difference in price between 4gb and 8 gb is about $40 and im already gonna have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit!!
@dinocelikovic: Oh I see… not a problem coz 4 GB is pretty good and if you want to upgrade RAM on a later stage you can do that upgrading RAM is one of the easiest thing we can do……. BTW RAM is expensive where you live here we can get 8 GB 1333Mhz DDR3 (2 x 4GB) for about $55 – 60.
Nice video man! Very well spoken and good insight!
I can save 5000 WHAT? on intel i7?
@MrYoursoup; It’s the Indian currency called Rupees roughly about US $100.
@geekyranjit Oh, thanks
LOL
dammit if only i have rupees. so much for useless benjamen… lol
You Cute!!
Wait 1 rupee is $100 usd?
@Minetainment 1$=50 Rstherefore, 5000 divided by 50= 100 $
it would have been helpfull if it was in urdu or french but stilll can u email me the whole pack of requirments, any way thanks for the video
i bet u 1000000000000000000000000 x 9999999999999999999USD U are indian
@MrYoursoup lol yep u save $5000 lol
can you change the core from i3 to i5 or i7 plz respond
@XXDJKHEYXX lol no
i5 2500k for gaming ofc!
i5 2500k if you got the money, knows how to OC. i5 2400 if you do not know how to OC.
i think i7 for gaming is overkill
zelda is awesome
bogus
THE BIG BANG THEORY
lolz rupees. i wanna play zelda
i7 for heavy gaming, but i5 for lighter games. Heavy games: battlefield, Crysis, B Ops, MW3 lighter games, PvZ, Minecraft, WoW, MW2, COD4
@SmileeDude23: Even latest heavy games like BF3, Crysis 2 / COD4 / MW3 the i5 it’s more than enough……. so essentially you do not need the i7, I wont argue you can see CPU benchmarks for that it’s better to put that extra money for a beefed up graphic card especially for games like BF3 where you want all the eye candy.
The i5 2500k spanks the i7 2600k, no games support hyperthreading. So if your building a gaming rig the i5 2500k is better. It also bench’s better then the 2600k in some games. So save $100 and get the BETTER chip. Spend the $100 and get a 6970 or something and start running games maxed out.
@Warmonger1337 Only for gaming, however the 2600k destroys the 2500k in anything that is multi threaded.
@Amuffin456: Yep I agree, if you work with video and do editing stuff the i7 2600K is a better chip but for just gaming the i5 2500K is more than enough.
@xXlccporXx i5-2500, unfortuenatly these chips can only be pushed up to 4.1ghz
@Amuffin456 That is true, but who does CPU intensive tasks on home computers anymore? The only reason to get a i7 is if your a huge photoshop or video editing/rendering person. Other then that its a waste of money.
can you explain exactly what these processors are, what they do and how? Just sort of simply as possible so I can find out just what they are and why they are so good. Thanks.
@Warmonger1337 Which is stuff I like to do apparently
hyperthreading is great
@rollingcube i5-2500k has 4c/4t and the i7-2600k has 4c/8t. Right now just wait until september where ivybridge will come out.
sir i have a question that i can overclock my i5 2320 or not
@Amuffin456 i7 k chips can’t go far either….
You know white a i3 2120 u and a gtx 550 ti you can run evrythin on max af, as and on 1024×768
@xXlccporXx What do you mean? K chips can be pushed up to 5+ghz
@Amuffin456: K at the end of these intel chips simply means that you can overclock the chip, non K version of the chip run at the stock frequency.
@geekyranjit non version of the k chip can be pushed up to 4.1ghz.
@Amuffin456: Yep they are like semi-unlocked processors the multiplyer can ben increase a little bit from the stocks and also change the BCLK so you can go around 4 Ghz, I could not personally test the same coz I processors that I have are all the K versions.
@TheArunsaru: Actually you can overclock this processor a little again it will also depend upon the motherboard that you are using,The motherboard that can support overclocking are the P67 & Z68 for sandy bridge processors.
thank you come again ! just kidding
)
@geekyranjit what do u think of the new prossesor?
@Gaffer213: By new do you mean the Sandybridge E processors based on socket 2011 ???
@geekyranjit yes
@geekyranjit: For gaming you do not require those 6 core E processors but if you are heavily in 3D modeling or video production then those processors can help do note the E processors is pretty expensive about $990
i want to build a pc for gaming with amd and ati stuff, my budget is Rs40000, can u help me out here…
i want to build a pc for gaming with amd and ati stuff, my budget is Rs40000, can u help me out here…
omg which is best?!
i5, but i7 wont let you down
Whats the case shown when you click this video? please someone answer!
thanks
all i want is full graphics
Surely i7 is better but its pricey than i5 though.
i 5 is best for processor not amd and gaming ati card is best
i7 with 3.4 ghz is faster and better than i5 with 4.5 ghz
@gtrgtr1996 who cares if i5 2500k will do fine for next 2 years?
@yuvraj5174 is that true? i always thought nVidia cards are better for gaming. how does the AMD Radeon 6950 2GB GDDR5 compare to the nVidia Geforce GTX 560 1GB GDDR5 ? I’m actually plannnig to buy a PC so this would be helpful
@kalalit Nvidia cards have better drivers, keep that in mind!
@OwnerDutchie oh ok thanks
@LeevuskaRakastaa i7 950 / 960 / 2600k. best prozessors amd dont have good prozessors for start 5 games in 1 min. my i7 do it i can start portal 2 skyrim gta 4 half life 2 quake and driver. in max 2 min all of this works with 4.0 ghz on 19 % prozessor and 38 ° coolermaster v8 and the new amd with 8 cores is like q6600 with 3.0 ghz or more.
hey is dell inspiron 15r the new model good….wid i5 processor and nvidia geforce gt 525 m……….. is it a good gamin device …… plz send me da answer to nikjohn1997@gmail.com
@nikjohn1997: Sorry I do not review laptops so cannot comment on the same.
Budget? AMD is a better choice in my opinion.
ahhhh rupees… reminds me of playing Zelda on the gameboy!
What about rendering? I guess the i7?
@mBrooksRants: By rendering you mean for videos task / encoding etc then yes the i7 has the edge but here in this video we are taking about gaming.
@jdcresswell Funny seeing this comment just 2 days after i decided never to buy an AMD again.Used to have phenom 9750, then switched to phenom II x4 955BE and after that phenom II x6 1090T cause i had performance issues in many newer games (and i thought it was just bad optimization, cause with each of those upgrades i got like 5 fps increase). Anyways, 2 days ago i swtiched to i5 2400 and performance in ALL games jumped sky high! Every game that had a FPS drop anywhere now runs 60+fps steady!
I’m about to get an i7 2600k then I watched this. You just made me save $100. Thank you very much dude.
intel is not suitable for gaming its for business & programif you want more performance go to AMD its cpmpatible and low price compare to intel
@gowtham228: Did you benchmark and test with a dozen games AMD used to be great earlier…… but the best gaming chip right now is the i5 2500K and again its also a great number cruncher not to mention comparable AMD chips consume a lot more power (electricity).
does that hyperthreading technology in i7 make any diffrence in gaming!!!
i7 2600k
@PratikL20: Nope
@PratikL20: Nope hyper-threading is not going to make a difference in gaming.
I would not upgrade now since Ivy Bridge is coming this summer.Same goes for new 3d cards coming out. nVidia summer 2012 and ATI jan feb 2012.For gaming the clock speed is still the most important part in regards to CPUs.Another thing that is important in regards to the future is the console marked. Both Xbox360 and the PS3 will still be the top end consoles for 2012. So you wont see a huge tech leap in most AAA PC games ether, with a few exemptions.If you have a decent rig now, wait.
which is beter procesor for gaming laptop with nvdia gt540 2gb 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2760QM processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.50 GHzor2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM processor 2.00GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.90 GHz integrated intel graphics 1.5gb
@optuke: The one with the nvidia graphics chip, BTW if you want to do serious gaming I suggest option for a desktop coz the gaming on a laptop is highly crippled experience.
@geekyranjit sd
@gowtham228 k i need a good processor from AMD for gaming pls.. now i am using intel core2 duo if i play games computer has been fozen…so i only asking
@gowtham228 Don’t go AMD if you want a good gaming CPU, go intel the 1155 platform is highly upgradable. An i3-2100 out preforms almost all AMD quad core CPU’s in gaming. Get an i3-2100 or any i5 CPU on the 1155 platform and u will dominate over all AMD’s in gaming.
i5-2500k is all one needs for gaming, anything elts is overkill. But we like overkill….
@gowtham228 Are you fucking kidding me. fucking Intel is best for gaming. AMD are for servers. with 3 way gtx 580 sli wont even bottleneck an i5 2500K @ stock speeds.
@optuke i recommended not to get a gaming laptop its crappy and if you buy desktop at the same price its like x2 better then the laptop that you want to buy
pc is gay buy mac
thetechreports.blogspot.com – new blog about the latest tech with news, tutorials, tips and more.
@gowtham228 lol AMD is terrible buddy.
are you sure he doesn’t work for HP?
@optuke BRO DOn’t buy a laptop for gaming. I was like you and bought one 8 yrs ago. I was left behind in gamming in 2 years after purchase. Desktop are cheap .. and fater for gaming!
@geekyranjit i5 2500k is platform so is p67 put z68 is chipset
@geekyranjit i5 2500k is platform so is p67 put z68 is chipset
derpface
derpface
I would recommend i7-2600k if you got a good budget, because newer games takes advantage of more than 4 cores, which is good in the future if you got a i7.
Rupees! Yay Zelda!
@longmage4 The i7-2600k only has four-cores. The question arises due to the hyper-threading feature of the i7 which is not available on the i5. And no, you’d want to purchase the i5 because games do not take advantage of the hyperthreading.
@optuke Both are pretty lousy. If you want to game get something with at least a GTX 560m, or better yet, build a desktop
@gowtham228 Not even slightly true. AMD is failing so bad right now, anyone who buys Bulldozer is such a sucker.
i have a i7 870 currently is it worth upgrading to the lga1155 socket i7 or just keep the 870 and use the money to go to a better graphics card? i have a ati 5770 currently, please reply thanks
@mrDakiller101: Just upgrade to a more powerful graphic card no point in going for i7 1155, your current i7 870 is more than enough for gaming.
Ranjit, your putting on weight. Stay away from the pakoras and samosa’s for a bit.
Any Suggestions for a good Intel chip that will be capable of music production ?
Hey Ranjit I would appreciated if you could speak a little slower when talking about numbers. Thanks
@geekyranjit alright sounds good thanks for the reply i will subscribe to your channel
What about i3
@mrDakiller101 so much processor speed is not needed for gaming, you can use a core quad cpu aswell. if you want to buy a gpu add one more ati 5770 on your pc and you will be ok.
@mrDakiller101 Just get a nVidia GeForce gtx 560 or ATI Radeon HD6550!
ranjit can i have a chicken vindalo and a lamb samosa to take away………………
@solidsnake2164: i3 is also a very good processor but not ideal for extreme gaming, I recently suggested the i3 with Nvidia 550 for a budget gaming rig.
okye,i understood that i5 is enough for gaming & graphics card plays the most vital role,but what about the inbuilt graphics card of i5 processor & motherboard??? pls answer me,what will be the most suitable for gaming….
@debayanbasu11: If you going to play the latest 3D games the internal integrated graphic chip on these Sandybridge chips like i5 / i7 is no good its just good enough for basic games and desktop functionality but if you are going to play the 3D games then you need the dedicated graphic card GPU.
i5 is fine. I got it.
nice explenation. loven it
what if i dont have any rupees…?
Honestly i5/i7 will be able to hold out for at least 3 more years.. they are very powerful
How to contact him.Call tech support…
rubi s? are you in zelda? xD jks jks
@geekyranjit thank you so much ,as you said i add nvidia geforce gts 450 1gb ddr5 with i5 & IT is cool
Thanx
Pc’s, Ram, Motherboards, you want it? as long as you have enough rupees
what the fuck is a rupie
i heard there will be new processors coming this year(i5,i7etc etc etc damn how many i5s).should i wait for the new i5?or should i buy i5 2500k?will i5 2500k and HD 6950 be enough for gaming for next couple of years?and yeah i wont buy i7 coz they are “EXPENSIVE”.Please reply guys. NEED HELP!
i love it how you pronounce “that”
Good video. I like that you don’t have any annoying edits. The jump cuts in most videos can get annoying. This video had a lot of information in one, natural take.
Indian deluxe
@solidsnake2164 I have an I7 740 qm (laptop) at 1.7 ghz and I rarely get over. 36% CPU usage in Bf3 but also I’m running all low and 720 by 480
got a clarkdale (or however is written..) I5 3,2 GHz 650, and i have never had problems with it, now running it along with a GTX 560 and i can max out almost all the games
but what about the future?maybe games will support hyper threading and use more mb cache
Hello everyone. I play world of warcraft and i want to buy a processor that can get more than 70 fps. With the i7 how many fps will i be able to get?
@wwecyprusguy: as mentioned in the video a i5 is more than enough get a good graphic card like Nvidia 560 or ATI Radeon 6870 a powerful graphic card is more important than the processor for good fps in gaming.
@geekyranjit Alright man thanks for respoding to my question i subbed keep up the good work ^^
@godrum619 Then you’re pretty much fucked.
I got an unlocked i5. Good enough
@godrum619 ahahahahahaha
I want to assemble a full desktop set near about 30000 to 35000.so please help me to choose a perfect combination.
What would i just for my computer i am building? I am not and extreme gamer but i have games like: minecraft, spore, tropica 4, sims, xplanes. would would i go for i3 processor and nvidia 550?
@imissmynut: Yep i3 with Nvidia 550 would be great combo for light gaming.
what do you say about taking an i3 and upgrade later to i7?
@buzz9961: Yes that can be done.
Actualy the only big diffrence betwen i5 and i7 seven is hyper threading that is the feature that i7 has and i5 doesnt but, for gaming that is not usable it just makes more heat and therefore less overclock ablity:D If u video editing then i7 is beast:D
I am SO SORRY for this….but I burst out laughing at the absolutely perfect situation of an Indian basically giving out Tech Support. It was too brilliant, so sorry
On the actual content I’d say, very good advice. I’d only recommend the i7 for really very processor-heavy software.
@geekyranjit in the future will hyper-threading make a difference?
wht crap u trying to say tht processor does nt make a difference .,. :O any day core i7 .,.,..
@reaper57abvbg saving up for the 6970 or 6950
@guru00005: I am talking about desktop processors here and with a i7 vs i5 you are not going to get much performance increase in gaming…… better to invest that money in a better faster GPU coz that’s the most imp thing for a gaming rig…. essentially the current crop of i5 are just i7 but just hyper-threading is disabled…. also any current game will not take advantage of more than 4 cores.
1:56 until 1:158″butter upgrade”
what about i7 2670qm
Rupees? LOL How about USD
@Darkmanskin: divide the Rupess amount by 50 to get the $ dollar approx.
@geekyranjit Thnaks…. Can I use 16Gb RAM with an i5 CPU?. I will be using Z68.
@Darkmanskin: Yeah sure you can use 16 GB RAM with i5 most of the Z68 based boards support upto 32 GB RAM.
@geekyranjit Thanks.
@geekyranjit for gaming cant u just use a i3 cpu i mean for a budget build using intel cpu
@Darkmanskin Why would you need 16 gigs of RAM o_0 … in my opinion difference between 4 gigs on 32-bit OS and 12 gigs on 64-bit OS is minimal (isn’t worth the money). And I think the 64-bit OS is shittier
but that’s just my opinion =3
@violatorx7 so I can open 1,000,000 tabs at ones. LOL Naw, I got them for a good price on New Egg. They where just under $100USD
@violatorx7 Why do I need a mother board that can max out at 32GB? Why do I need four monitors. Just cause.
@violatorx7 Why do people buy cars that can do 200 MPH and will never drive it that fast. Why do I wear a tie? Ties are useless if you ask me. Why do I have a kitchen table and always eat at my desk? Why do I have two cats? Why do I live in the Bronx?
OWWW i SWEAR i am laughing my ass off, as soon as i saw the monk..i mean indian on my screen
I wanna play gta IV; going slow(laggy) i wanna play needforspeed underground; somtimes i can play, but most of the time laggy, i think its the processor what is a good good but not to expansive processor?
@Prowerdnapro intel i5 2**** series although ivy bridge will be out in the late spring/summer time so you may wanna wait……… are your graphics cards drivers up to date? post your specs maybe ranjit will give you a reply
@Darkmanskin LOL
i agree there is no point in spending the money on the i7, that money is better spent on the graphics card a prime example is my rig i5 2500k, 16GB 1600mhz RAM, Radeon 6850 2GB 256-bit gfx card, Z68 board. my friends is an i7 2700k, same RAM, Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit, same board and we benchmark at right around the same FPS (im talking a 1-3 fps difference) i saved alot more money on my rig then he did (230usd for i5 370usd for i7)
LoL ? Why Must People Need Intel Core i5 Or i7 , When Intel Dual Core E5700 Can Play StarCraft 2 And Battle Field 3 With ATI Radeon HD 5850 .
i guess its gonna have to be rupounds :\
I HAVE MY OWN QUCKIMART
WTF is a rubbi im not INDIAN
Helt meningslöst
How about an i5 2320 quad core…though im certain it supports every game out there..do u suggest it…i will combine it with a ati hd 6950 or better
@IIxBLAZziiN69x: Yes a very good combination will be able to play any game you throw at the same but remember with that processor model you will not be able to do much over-clocking with the same.
هههههههههههههههههه
Rupees ? I keep thinking Zelda every time he says this
Shit! Already spent all my rupees in castle town.
what’s 1 rupee to a dollar lol
im gonna get 2500k, ima gonna pass i7 cus im just a gamer, no editing or anything like that, and i think i will throw my old HD5850 there too so i dont need to buy new gfx….. for 2500k i already bought today corsair H80, and also i upgraded case from chieftec max case to Haf x, also i think i will get 8gigs of ram for the moment, i can always add more if i need but i wont cus i just play games
Even an 1 year old video can help me buy a new laptop, thanks mate!
I love you in big bang theory!
Since you didn’t mention this, I thought I’d post my 2c:First of all, “i5″ and “i7″ are marketing titles, it doesn’t actually refer that much to the performance. An i7 2617m is vastly inferior to an i5 2410m. Do not judge a CPU on the names, but the specific chip.Secondly, the i5 2500k is BETTER for gaming than the i7 2600k. The 2600k had added hyperthreading, which does NOT affect gaming performance at all. The additional l2 cache and 100mhz higher stock clock isn’t worth the extra money.
@christoiMc: I did mention the difference between the i5 and i7 also in this video I am talking about the desktop variants the mobile variants of these intel processors are seriously crazy messed up even some i7 are not quad cores….. But for a desktop & gaming as mentioned in the vid i5 is more than enough the i7 is not a bad processor it does generate more heat…. and if you do video / audio stuff apart from gaming the i7 beats the i5. I personally use i7 coz I work a lot with video.
id go i7 2700k 1 games now if you are maxing the setting out are starting to use more than 2 cores for example bfbc2 bf3 skyrim ect. id go i7 2700k future proof, don’t go for 2600k the 2700k it a better overclocker some people might say that they are just a way for Intel to make more money by store overclocking them but by them doing that little extra they are really meaning you don’t have to worrier about it being a bad over clocker and being unstable at high clocks
Which one is better 2GB Radeon HD 6550A or 2 gb Nvidia GeForce GT 425m? these graphic cards are offered on the hp touchsmart all in one pc I got the quad 2nd gen i7 and I picked the Radeon hd I know these are not top of the line gaming pc’s I would pretty much use it for watching movies, music, pictures,internet and playing sims games and some online games nothing too intense as I’m not a big pc gamer I do that on ps3 and xbox please help thank you

I’m a music producer and I simply want something that can give me a lot of processing power as well as good sound quality. What do you think of the Toshiba Qosmio with the i7 2670 processor?
@geekyranjit I’m a music producer and I simply want something that can give me a lot of processing power as well as good sound quality. What do you think of the Toshiba Qosmio with the i7 2670 processor?
i5 is more than enough. Get that.
i5 2500k is not “better” for gaming than the i7 2600k, its just more affordable for similar “gaming” result. 2600k have other purposes than just gaming. you might have meant that but i just wanted to clear any misunderstanding (:

i7 Extreme hex core simply because multimedia producing use a lot of processing power. Downside is it’s $1000. If you do just get an i7, note you can only expand it out to 32 GB of Ram, while the Extreme can have up to 64, another downside.Whatever is better for your budget and how heavy and in depth the programs and music your making is really a big deciding factor.
Core i7, nuff said.
what if i wanna play bf3 on my i5 macbook pro (early 2011)
nice video, glad i found it.
Ignorant much? I bet you just bought a i7. Wait you jel when I will be getting my i5 ivy bridge later this year and overclocking at 4ghz+
But Can It Run Minecraft Without A Dedicated GPU?
What about i5-2430
What about i5-2430 and nvidia geforce 555m 1gb? A good combo?
Man, can you give me an advice? An AMD HD 7970 or a GTX 680 ? I’m planning to use it with a 2500k or 2600k overclocked to 4,5 Ghz. Any advices please ? I don’t know what card I should buy, because now both cards can run all the games
Core i7 3820 sandy bridge-e, will upgrade the day ivy bridge-e is released.
3820 only tad faster then 2600k, 2600k only tad faster then 2500k. Get what i mean.
hi, i apreciate your video!i decided to buy an intel core i5 and an AMD readon saphire 7950!is it good mix?and what MOBO should i buy?i want something that gives me a big range for upgrades, like the new MSI gd-65 (i think)couse it has 3x 3.0 pci-e 16x!! but should i go with a cheaper MOBO? with an z68 chipset??tell me, there are lots of MOBO, and i don’t know where to pick!
Yeah good config…… for motherboards you should go with Z68 chipset coz you can do overclocking and on a later stage add a small SSD so that you can take advantage of intel SRT…. motherboard brands I prefer Asus, Gigabyte and MSI…… just check the one which gives the max warranty….. generally the deluxe model of boards offer more options and also wifi on the board if you require that.
i5 2500k + HD 6950 1gb = max everything thats out atm
I better go farm some more rupee’s, and I’ll need Giants wallet
i have a:Intel Core i5-2320 (3ghz) (3.3ghz turbo booster)Nvidia Geforce 530 (2770 MB)and 4GB Ram.And i still play fsx with a little lag (at maximum settings)
