Are you hard core?

[Bubbleawsome]

I've been wishing for a 12 core machine for a while. Running a quad though.

 

[Lonbjerg]

i7 990X - 6 Cores / 12 Threads...voted 6 cores.

 

[PPB]

8 Cores (FX 8320, main pc)

At my family's work:

1 Core = 2 comps ( Athlon XP 2800+ soldered to a [Redacted] PCChips mobo and some [Redacted] sempron I cant even remember).
2 Cores = 2 Comps (A laptop rocking a Core Duo Pentium T2080 and a desktop with a Athlon X2 5200).

 

[Leyawiin]

yay for necro's.

Pfft... who cares? Subject like this could get necro'd every nine months forever and it wouldn't hurt anything.

How many CPU cores are you running in your main rig?

A couple of fast cores is all, that I need these days.

What poll are we going to have next, "how many capacitors are on your motherboard"? Pointless poll.

Yeah, it's basic but it works and gives food for thought

 

[Rdmkr]

more cores on my phone than my "main rig".

 

[mohit9206]

I use Sandy Bridge Pentium Dual Core.Its pretty hardcore ya know..

 

[DigDog]

this thread is hurting my e-peen

 

[xSneak]

I was getting 9 fps transcoding with my 8320 @ 4.5Ghz. Wish I had a 12 thread intel or proper gpu support for that situation.

 

[Carfax83]

Got a 3930K so I voted 6 cores. Interesting that at this particular time, there are more hex core users than dual core. Gotta love progress :biggrin:

 

[crashtech]

Average number of cores as of 1535, 04 Jan 2014 is 4.44, excluding those who voted "More."

 

[DeathReborn]

Main Rig (Work, Internet etc): 8 (8350)
Gaming Rig: 4 (4770K)
LAN Rigs: 12x 6 Core (960T's unlocked)
HTPC: 4 (AII X4 620)
Server: 32 & 2 (Opteron 6220 x4 & Dual P3 1GHz)
Laptops: 2, 2, 4, 4 (C2D, i3, i7, A10)

Total: 134

Technically the LAN Rigs are in a converted double garage which doubles as a guest apartment sleeping up to 6). Come mid 2015 I probably won't have any AMD chips in Desktops/Servers at all.

 

[crazzy.heartz]

Still rockin core 2 duo e7400 @3.3Ghz :biggrin:

 

[Arkaign]

Hundreds of cores total here in the house I think Most of them are very very very very weak though lol. Only fairly stout cores are i7 desktop, FX 6350 HTPC, i5 laptop. Aside from that I have a few dozen consoles and old computers and smartphones and such.

 

[SKORPI0]

Q6600 - 4
i7 3930k - 6

 

[nemesismk2]

I would still rather trade my 4 cores in for two cores that perform twice as fast in single thread benchmarks and roughly the same in multithreaded benchmarks.

I like the power saving i get from my x2 regor compared to the vishera cpu although vishera was more power saving than zambezi.

I am going to consider using my x2 270 instead of my amd fx 8350 because i am just not using the cpu for anything useful lol

 

[nemesismk2]

i have a x2 270 regor but would love to own a x2 280 regor but have never seen them even on ebay lol

 

[DeathReborn]

i have a x2 270 regor but would love to own a x2 280 regor but have never seen them even on ebay lol

I'll be sure not to buy any of the few I've seen recently...

 

[nemesismk2]

I'll be sure not to buy any of the few I've seen recently...

i've not found an x2 280 but did buy another x2 270 because they are very quiet and give good office performance

I wish AMD had continued with the Regor with 32nm techmology for a great performing dual core cpu because not everyone wants a 4 quad core cpu for games.

 

[ozzy702]

3770k @4.4ghz. Only time my CPU is pushed is via encoding and playing BF4. Single core surprisingly gets maxed in a few games that are only take advantage of one core. For the most part I am very happy.

I find myself wanting to go with Haswell-E in the future simply because I need/want a motherboard with more sata ports and dual nics. More is always welcome. I'd love to be rocking six or eight physical cores.

I used to have a very under used amd fx 8350 vishera with 8 cores and after seeing some games barely using 2 cores made me feel i might as well had a dual core cpu lol

Yes i did ditch the amd fx 8350 and bought a cheap amd athlon ii x2 270 3.4ghz regor dual core cpu which has TDP of 65 so cheap to run, runs quiet and i am not missing the amd fx 8350.

 

[nemesismk2]

I just purchased my first amd x2 280 regor so i am happy

So would everyone else in the world, but it isn't technologically feasible at this point.

"Fast" is really relative. There are lots of ways to make a computer faster.
