COCKMOUTH.GIF posted:With regards to Haswell, I've thought about going the route of building the next system with a greater emphasis on virtualization. However, I would like a mix of gaming/virtualization. Does it make sense to stick to the non-K CPUs to get all of the virtualization features? Does VMWare Workstation even utilize all of them? My limited understanding comes down to, unless you're going to virtualize a lot of VM's at the same time, the vt-d doesn't start helping much. Though I guess it depends on what your target is. I run VM's on my current 2600k with no problems to test weird configuration issues of end users browser/os combo's. Never had major problems so far, though that is 1 vm at a time.

Bofast posted:My favorite was a Steam user review I saw a few days ago of a somewhat recent Spider-Man game where someone complained about performance. Their included hardware list just claimed their PC specs were way over recommended and then listed "Intel Core i7 @ 2.60GHz, 16,0GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, SSD 480GB." The only i7's that ran that slow (that are not a laptop) is like the first generation 2008-9 Nehalem processors. Sandy and Ivy bridge have nothing that clocks that low at the i7 level. They're totally on an old desktop, thats over a decade old. Ofc your processor is going to whimp out. I think there is like a 20-30% uplift in performance between the first gen i series and sandy bridge alone, not to mention ivy bridge and everything that comes after it.
