Question i7-880

[gicecora]

Greetings!

I'm waiting for AMD to release the new Zen architecture next week before I build an entirely new PC. Presently, I run a system from the Jurassic era - a Gigabyte P55a-UD3 with an i5-750, 12 GB RAM, an SSD, and Win10 Pro. I just can't bear this thing any longer, and you could say that I deserve a new system!

I believe the i7-880 supports hyperthreading, which the i5-750 does not. My question is, would an i7-880 provide any appreciable performance improvement that might "buy" me another month or two, so I can buy on Black Friday or Cyber-Monday? [Removed]

After I build my new system, this one will be relegated to running security software, most likely on Linux, so a minor "upgrade" is not completely senseless.

You shouldn't be wasting your time "upgrading" that system. The hyperthreading will make minimal difference. The smallish boost in frequency will help slightly but honestly that's like putting lipstick on a dead hooker at this point. Nothing is making that more attractive.

Why use such an old power-hungry system to run security software? If it's running 24/7 it's just going to run up your electricity bills, while being hot and noisy.
