No that is not true. The thermal paste between the IHS and CPU is really only a concern for the top 1% of overclockers who want to push their chips as much as possible, and even then the majority of OC'ers manage just fine with the stock paste.
Even for OC'ers they don't need soldered...
It's kind of interesting because the housing market around Intel in Oregon has been going crazy. Mother-in-law is in real estate/property management and she's constantly setting up houses/rentals in the area for new Intel hires that are "fresh off the boat".
Anyone can go out and purchase a broadwell system right now and do whatever tests they want. If an exhaustive analysis about one particular facet of a CPU does not exist yet it's simply because no reviewer has gone through the significant effort to do so. Time for you to get the equipment and...
So Apple chooses AMD and they get subpar performance at higher power...and they made a mistake opting for better perf/watt by going w/ Intel?
Does not compute.
in my personal case 8GB has been more than fine- you honestly don't need 16GB for vast majority of usage..and if you find you do for your particular case it's easy to pickup another 8GB and drop it in later. On the scale things I would put money in up front on I would still go for bigger SSD...
I just went with the cheapest 2x4GB (8GB total) modules at the time that was 1600+ MHz and CL9 or better.
Something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl9d8gbxl
If you're actually interested in best performance for your dollar do something like this
i7-4790k
Hyper 212 EVO (~30 bucks)
ASrock fatal1ty Z97 killer (~100 bucks)
Then get an SSD from one of the deals on slickdeals.net
Above is my exact build and I've been really happy with it.
It doesn't...
FYI Intel's diversity effort is geared to get fair representation of the qualified candidate demographics at all technical and experience levels- it's not measured against the general population. i.e. X % of female tech workers in the industry are at X level within their organizations, but...
same architecture, but more cores, so for the most part should expect same clock per clock performance.
Regarding base clocks: I would look at the clocks being lower on the 2011-3 offerings as more an indication of what clocks were necessary to fit within 140W TDP envelope rather than what...
Why are you still giving the company money if you are having these experiences? I find it odd you're still talking about plunking down cash for a company that does this.
I just recently upgraded from a E6600 to an i7-4790k build and seem to have similar preferences to you, in that I prefer to get a stronger CPU up front and then build around that over the years. In the meantime I've built systems for friends and family and I work in the industry so I feel I've...
People recommending Intel or AMD are both wrong, the ti-86 and other graphing calculators currently house the most powerful processors and have for years.
All those stock speeds tell you is what they were able to achieve to fit within 140W TDP. What will matter is what they overclock to. Also I'm not sure how you come up with more cost, looks like 6c will be coming down.
