Ohh damn

eri That’s actually true, My friend has a computer with a pretty old Intel Server Board inside with 2 cpus and an AMD R9 380 OC. What’s sad is that he gets 40-55 fps on a roblox fps game

Me too but i understand alot though ~_~

same! When I started watching youtube videos on English, I watched a lot of tech videos, including this guy

good catch madam

It's nice to know when we can turn off the video though. TQ does a good job in giving hints for when the ad starts and you should stop.

2023: 500 cores is nothing

The googleplex core processer the most powerful processor ever made

Me: *cries in 2 cores*

On a consumer chip!

Get a 3990X you can game, render an 8k video and do 4k streaming at the same time.

@@shrekthe55thsharkking (3990X) you can install 256 Gigs of un buffered Ram 88 PCIE4.0 lanes per processor or you can step up to the (EPYC) processor with 4TB Ram per processor and 128 PCIE 4.0 lanes, both processors have 64 cores and 128 threads. If 4 TB RAM is not enough you can buy a dual socket Board and install 2 EPYC chips and 8TB of RAM then you would have access to 160 PCIE 4.0 lanes for each chip.

@@shrekthe55thsharkking it's overkill for almost everybody they are just competing with themselves at the moment. The limitations on it hurts it IMHO. They did it just to kick Intel while they were down. It performs better than 2 10 thousand dollar XEON platinum chips. The overclockers got it to 5.5GHZ on launch day and broke several world records. It does 24708 in cinebench R20 stock, they got it to 39518 on LN2! They could fix the RAM limitations with an update and they should because people who are using that kind of power need the RAM.

EPYC?

Well technically it's a "Subscribed" button now, so his request doesn't apply to you.

That's the joke...

Every second video you subscribe, every other you unsubscribe. The circle is complete.

you're an idiot. here the thing. xeon arch are specifically designed for server use. using it for gaming, is the dumbest thing. also who games on i7. waste of money.

It’s literally the same chip with ECC support and no iGPU..... And as I said , streaming gameplay is plenty of reason to game on a cpu higher than an i5.

A haswell 4c8t chip is a haswell 4c8t chip whether it's branded an i7 or a Xeon, as long as the clockspeed is the same. It's the same architecture. A lot of games could use over 4 threads even back when this video was made, and certainly do so now. Just cause 3 for instance runs significantly better on the Xeon e3-1240 V3 that I bought recently to replace my i5-4460. Ironically enough that i5 came with a steam key for JC3 back when I bought it.

@@chrisb178 Many people game on an i7 it's only a waste of money dependant on CPU, i7's come at higher clock speeds out of the box and are rated for higher overclocks so for the higher end GPU's they are pretty essential to get the best out of your GPU granted with somewhat diminished returns.

Christion Buric Lol you sound like an absolute moron, who games on i7’s? Try every high end gamer since 2013

do you need to install any extra drivers or do anything finicky with the bios

@@wheezel55 you have to search your motherboard bios compatibility. google it and it should appear on your motherboard manufacturer website.

Ahhh, yes. LGA1366, still kicking. Only proper boards are quite expensive. And you got tripe channel memory.

HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul I got lucky. Picked up a overclockable board with 12gb of memory for $120. It was a pretty big steal imo.

no thanks the kabylake 7400 I bought during christmas time would still perform better than your xeon5650. cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Xeon-X5650-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7400/m355vs3886

+NinjaCon The fact that you linked a cpu comparison website with theoretical performance is just sad. His x5650 and board with memory would total around $170, while your cpu alone cost around that.

NinjaCon Almost no one runs X5650's at stock. Look at the OC multi-core benchmark on that page with an 88% performance overhead versus an overclocked i5-7400. For sure the Kaby Lake is faster in single threaded, but it has absolutely no chance in multi-threaded apps.

Austin Avilez nice

Nah, I just got lucky and looked on eBay at the right time. It was a CPU only deal, no box or cooler. But still, £120 was pretty freaking dope.

Actually the Xeon E3-1230s always had great value - slightly slower than top of the line i7, no iGPU, but just slightly more expensive than a high end i5. I have an E3-1231v3 too, even with a 3% BCLK overclock on my Z97 motherboard.

too with a Xeon x5660 that cost 40 euros :D At 4.20ghz it destroys the most i7

it depends on the game. (CSGO's fps depends on the CPU most)

He didn't say "you can't game on a server chip."

You can't run new games on these old xeon cpu It is not because of frequency or other things, It is because some new games runs on new instruction set sse4.2,FMA3, etc which is not included in old cpus

i might have to do that! looks to be at most $15 more than a X5670, and even if you won the silicon lottery, and mine only gets to 4 or 4.1 ghz, still should be nice to have a lower power draw

Still interesting how close the LGA775 and LGA1366 platforms are on the pure core performance. It's the frontend that got tweaked greatly. IMC, 6-core, HT, turbo boost, power draw, all nice to enhance it. But the pure CPU performance per core and the clock speeds aren't to different. Got a X5460 running at 4.1 GHz and it is still reasonable in terms of performance. Only the power draw is enough to keep you warm in cold winter nights.

BigMan7o0 so how did it go? Akash ShAh seriously? I upgraded from a 930 2 years ago, the cpu was so slow it legitimately worsened my experiences browsing and gaming.

Yup..got the i7 950 in my system. I could buy the Xeon X5670 and upgrade to a 6 core cpu for $53.

Dtr146 wow

Ryzen is the best choice if that's what you want to do. Better upgrade path and better single core performance as well as having as many cores to work with compared to server grade Cpu's in the same price range. The best use for a server Cpu is running a server. Ryzen 5 1600 6 core 12 thread (200€) would be good for that, and Ryzen 7 1700 8 core 16 thread (300€) would be excellent for that, if you're rich then Ryzen threadripper 1950x 16 core 32 thread (900€) or Intel i9 7980x 18 core 36 thread (2100€) would be the best at that. Intels 8700k would also do a good job at that but it's much more expensive (400€ atm), and whether it's better or worse than ryzen 7 at rendering depends on what software you're using. That's not to say a server grade cpu won't do that well, just that there are better options available.

lol I'm here with 2 actual severs (2 E5-2670's (v1) + 128GB RAM in one system and annother system with 2 E5-2697's (v2) + 64GB RAM)

Hello, people were looking strange at me at Toms Hardware when i told them that i Would do a Server PC. I want to know if it is true what they said: -Gaming with Dual CPU does not work 'good' -Ecc Ram is so slow -It would be better to build a normal System(even though it is more expensive) -My RX580 Would not work with my Motherboard, because My MoBo does have BIOS and not UEFI I have the feeling that people do not like Server PCs/are jealous/do not know anything about it

Hugo D Boi, you dumb

xx_sᴡᴀɢ_ᴏᴠᴇʀʟᴏʀᴅ_xx What.? Why 😂?

Hugo D dont you understand how pcs work?

Zeppy Brawl Stars the most underrated comment ever

Aye, but both should be taken into account. Some games do benefit from more cores, especially in the lows department. And some games won't even launch on a 2 core cpu. You also have to remember IPC. But once you get passed 6 cores (in some edge cases 8) in modern games you stop seeing huge benefits (2 or 4 cores in older titles). So basically, get a 6 core cpu and after you reach that core count compare different Cpu's based on cost, ipc and clock speed. Also remember that resolution matters, as this video demonstrated at 4k even a dual core will achieve similar averages to everyone else. The video didn't show lows (to see stuttering) or 1080p, but at lower resolutions you start to see more difference between Cpu's.

You can get +300fps on csgo with a 5Ghz dual core i3 but around 120fps with a 2.2Ghz quad core i5

Euronjuusto999 cs:go is hardly on a modern game engine. Quite an extreme example of a single core game because of its ancient engine.

No. Frequency, IPC, and core count all play an equal part. All I need to do is point you to the FX CPU line that focuses on core count and frequency. A 5.2Ghz dual core is not going to be better than a 4.2Ghz quad core.

Battloid.kouji I hope that will be change it the future. Running at high clockspeed isn't too good for the long run. Spread things out across multiple cores helps longevity m stuff

I think those Xeon E5-1600s are unlocked. If you have a X79 board just get an AIO and overclock the living daylights out of it.

Same, got a X5670 @4.6Ghz, almost all the games I play scale pretty nicely across all the cores at least, even if they don't all use hyperthreading as well. Games like GTA V work beautifully with it.

Dtr146 haha that 5650 is the old version of a 8700k... lol Are you gonna buy the 8700k 2.0?

z Captain nope 2.0 is for conformists

alex1986lunatic I found a x5670 for $30 and a refurbished ATX sized x58 mobo for $43, and 4x4GB ddr3 ecc dimms for $36

Hey I'm new to this whole server thing, was just curous how the ECC DIMMS compare to regular DDR3 memory? What's the difference? Is it just what they call value RAM?

It also doesn't require them to run. Regular memory works just fine.

I know this is old, but it depends on what type of ECC memory you use, UDIMM can still be quite expensive (it's a little bit cheaper than regular memory), RDIMM is quite cheap, LRDIMM can have even more memory per module, but these can be even more expensive. You don't necessarily need RAM with Error Correcting Code though, it is safer/necessary though if you use it as a server with some software RAID and you don't want Any corruption in the filesystem. I recommend just gaming on a desktop CPU though, Ryzen is a good choice, since it's much easier to get pretty good single core performance (along with multi core nowdays), were server CPU's are more focused on multi core performance and excellent reliability.

Kahlo kahlow some gamers go for the Intel core i7 7th gen Maybe that's better then the Intel xeon server processor coz it's a 2017 Intel core i7 it maybe the newer processors are better and faster then older ones

Then you have malware or a really old CPU.

Open task manager and see what uses the cpu, if you cant see it there it is malware
