I’m rocking an 8400, waiting for an 8700K to be available.

This summer was the tipping point for major multiprocessor gains and first generation is a bitch to buy into. That said, since the Coffee Lake seems so efficient in power usage and whatnot, compared to the Skylake-X ones, if Intel came out with Coffee Lake-X CPUs that became more reasonable in power usage and maybe a sped-up mesh to compensate for latency (the ringbus is clocked way higher than the mesh, after all), that'd be nice, too.

At the start of the year I assumed next Summer would be a good time to buy since 10nm would be on the market but since it'll be mobile only initially, it could be a good while longer before we get a proper second gen of reasonably priced >4 core desktop chips.

After all the hints dropped by the usuals suspects I'm certain that we'll see 8C Coffee Lake on Z370 next summer. Ice Lake on 10nm probably won't clock as well as 14nm++ so CFL at >=5 Ghz looks pretty tempting at the moment, I don't think Ryzen will be able to match its singlethread performance anytime soon.

I don't really need to upgrade my 5820K at the moment so I'm going to bet that you're right  If not I guess by that point it'll be the usual $70 boards and $270 processors at Microcenter so I win either way. I really wish you could get 10 GbE on mITX boards though. If I'm gonna give up the PCIe lanes then I've already given up most of my expandability anyway.

I'm on a 4770k and Coffee Lake 8C is likely to be the last big release before a child begins to siphon away all the money, so that'll be my next upgrade. And the last for a looooooong time.

Suddendly my 8700K arrived. Now i have no other parts... Ordered maximus x hero, 3600c15 2x8gb g.skill, 250gb 960 evo (for OS), thermalright hr02 macho. Memory and cooler are not available in Finland. I don't know where I should order those to get them sooner :/ Many European shops don't ship to Finland anymore. I thought I'd never get the cpu, so I wasn't in any rush ordering the other parts.. well poo poo happens!

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus-pc-requirements.html Kind of interesting that the minimum and maximum requirements both list an i7 - I think I'll be waiting to see how someone else with an overclocked i5-2500K fares before buying in.

Some of the newer Wolfenstein games were optimized completely awfully. I had to get a refund for them when I downloaded them a while back. Well, I would if Valve cared about customer service.

BIG HEADLINE posted:http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus-pc-requirements.html This is a Bethesda thing. I remember a couple of previous games that just said "core i7" and didn't list any other qualifiers. They ran A-OK on any sandy bridge i3 or newer. If wolfenstein 2 will run on a goddamn FX-8350, it'll probably run fine on the faster Core 2 Quads anyway.

Well, I would if Valve cared about customer service. Wolfenstein TNO/TOB were built on Id Tech 5, which kind of sucked. Wolfenstein 2 is using Id Tech 6 like Doom2016, except with Vulkan included from day 1 this time, so performance ought to be fine.

The first time I restarted off of an M.2 drive I literally turned my head and missed it. Pretty sure it takes longer to POST than to load Windows.

LASER BEAM DREAM posted:The first time I restarted off of an M.2 drive I literally turned my head and missed it. Pretty sure it takes longer to POST than to load Windows. Yeah, things like POST and enumerating USB devices start to constitute a serious chunk of your boot time. Many UEFIs nowadays have a "fast boot" mode that skips enumerating some USB devices. These are a mixed bag, it gets you to the loin screen quicker but then Windows has to enumerate them and that's more time before your system is actually usable. They can also cause problems getting into UEFI to troubleshoot an issue (since your mouse/keyboard may not be enumerated).

BIG HEADLINE posted:http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus-pc-requirements.html Dragon Ball FighterZ for PC requires an i7-3770 and 16GB RAM but it's only a 2.5D cel-shaded anime fighting game. I'm thinking those requirements are either bullshit or it's going to be a really lovely console port.
