9700k in my Z370 desktop. My son is rocking my old i7 3770 for his gaming machine. That's about to be upgraded to a X99 with a 6850k pulled from a workstation I got free from work. Fortunate circumstances! He'll have that with a GTX 980 and a 512GB 950 Pro drive, plus an 850 Pro I've got lying here. More machine than any 12 year old deserves lol.
If I were building a new desktop today, I'd probably go with a 3900x.
The GPU is a GTX 1080 Ti. I could run a few CPU benchmarks though.
Need more? Just sayin'...Oh, and around the house I have maybe 50-60 other PCs,
Ah perfect! I have my old 1080ti I can put in it. When the CPU arrives, I'll drop you a line PCIe adapter cables arrived today. Basically I'm trying to see how the T5810 fares as a mid-range/cheap gaming rig (obviously not with a 1080ti in it permanently, but will be useful to basically eliminate GPU bottleneck for any gaming benchmarks).
For $266 shipped, I got :
E5-1620 v3 (replacing this with $60 E5-1650 v3 6C/12T unlocked)
Dell Proprietary X99 Mobo (if it works like the Lenovo S30 and HP Z400/420/440, I should be able to use XTU to boost multiplier a little)
360GB Intel SATA SSD
32GB Quad Channel DDR4 ECC 2133
625W PSU (meh)
Super Solid toolless case w/handles
DVDRW, Windows 7 COA for W10 Pro
Little more expensive than what I normally shoot for as cheap gaming rig bones, but was curious about the model.
My 855+ is in a phone that is more powerful than any Qualcomm-based tablet ever released. I'm beginning to think it might even be more powerful than the 8cx since it can be overclocked. Asus is wacky like that. Until 8cx-based lappies start showing up in force, it will be impossible to know for sure.
My Surface ProX runs 3GHz all-core (the little cores slower of course). Doubt you will get that performance out of a 855 in a phone with standard cooling.
In addition The SQ1 has at least 2xGPU performance and 2x memory bandwidth.
Now that may be a deciding factor. ROG Phone II only has an overclocked Adreno 640. The memory is pretty good though . . . 12GB LPDDR4x 3733. Not 4266, bleh. I would definitely like to see the SQ1 running Linux though!
Thing is 8CX/SQ1 has 8 memory channels instead of 4 like the Snapdragon 855+ for double the bandwidth.
Running Linux? No Problem, thats what we have WSL2 for
I wonder how much of an issue that is performance-wise? Obviously having more bandwidth is generally better.
I would rather run it bare metal, but that is a plus. Technically you get to run it bare metal on an Android phone, if you don't mind giving up 3+ GB of RAM constantly to the Android subsystem. Bleh. Also, having to VNC into your own Linux system kind of stinks. Command line stuff works fine but graphical applications? That's where the "fun" begins.
Thats not VNC but a native ARM64 XServer running on the Windows side on the Surface Pro X, did you check the attached picture?
Yes, and your old 1950x is happily crunching 24/7/365 on linux.I’ve been using AMD exclusively In my primary rigs up until 2016 (K6-2, k6-III+, Athlon XP-M 2500+, Opteron 165, Phenom x4 945, Phenom x6 1035, FX 8350).
The FX debacle bummed me enough that I switched to Intel with a 6900k just before Ryzen dropped. I felt super burned by the lack of refinement and issues with x99 so I tried to jump back over to AMD with Threadripper 1950x, but Linux just wasn’t having it at the time.
Sold the Threadripper here and picked up a 7980XE. I’ll ride this system for a few years before jumping back over to whatever AMD has on offer, Zen 3 presumably.
