I order the cpu, and along with a new case for the next build IN WIN 101C White RGB. my brother has the black version and i fell in love with it, i like the white better so i got it.
i thought of of that of doing after my ryzen build, and or turning into a file server.



thanks, but already have an EVGA X79 SLI just gathering dust. so going to use it.




yeah no big deal really since not going to be using it that long anyways, but that would of been nice. lol



thank you good sir!
You seriously base your judgement on what is faster using dry spec numbers (cores/cache/frequency) ?
Ever heard of IPC ?
Just so you know, W3690 is a Core i7 980X under different name (it even has unlocked multiplier).
EDIT : OK... but I don't see anything in there that will help with OP's dilema tho.

To answer your comment look at the top 2 from the op @freakshow, his dilemma was resolved by his reasoning to go with a 40 dollar chip as a stop gap until he builds the ryzen. He got the chip because he knows the A10 is just too slow.

I DID NOT write anything about anyone.
I simply pointed out that @eidairaman1 makes a mistake judging what's faster based on site comparing "dry specs" of the CPUs in question.

If I did offended You, please quote my post in this thread directed at You.

So, you would buy a FX-9590 over Core i7 980X, because I clearly don't what I'm talking about ?
Why my "rank" has anything to do with anything ?

1% difference between the 2 chips, either way 40 dollars for a stopgap chip is better than 155.

It doesn't take much to figure out you were trying to be condescending (whether you realize it or not).

Neither one , they are both old as fuck and equally obsolete , that's through the scope of someone wanting to buy something today. Which is the whole point of this discussion.

Truth is both chips are slow (Frequency x IPC = Performance).
Xeon has more cores (and those are proper cores, not "modules"), so it will be better in most things (but those aren't important for OP).
I would either stay on A10 if patience permits, and switch - if it doesn't.
Either way, games OP want's to play and time he needs to get to this new ryzen build are crucial.

@Vya Domus I simply answered questions asked by @eidairaman1 and pointed out with what I don't agree (and why). Think of me what you want.

Don´t bother man it´s pointless.....as Leonardo De Vinci used to say:"There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see."

Someone at EVGA shouldn't be working there
