What a magnificent gaming king it was! So good in fact that Intel rushed Skylake out just a couple months later, and then Kaby Lake quickly as well. Why you ask? Well...<br /> <br /> Broadwell was late to market. I think some issues with 14nm (foreshadowing 10nm in fact). It's main feature was a much better iGPU that was fed with a massive Crystalwell 128mb L4 cache.<br /> [note: all from memory, correct me if i botched a detail]<br /> The cache was whatever for the iGPU, I never tried it and I dont think more than maybe some hundreds did. But, boy howdy was that cache ever great when you disabled the iGPU as it then worked with dGPU as a last level L4 and boosted certain games WELL past even Kaby Lake performance (one example was Assetto Corsa) provided the games assets fit in cache (or more technically the eDRAM die).<br /> <br /> Intel buried Broadwell for a couple reasons; and by buried i mean almost zero promotion, very few chips fabbed, and iirc it was literally like 2-3 months later when Skylake dropped- with a ton of marketing hype. Turns out they didnt even intend for the L4 cache to boost games in that way and didnt want competition for Skylake from much-pricier-to-fab Broadwell (mostly bc of the Crystalwell cache). It wasnt until Coffee Lake that I moved on, and in those special titles that loved cache i had to tune my 8700k to 5Ghz+ and it's ram to 4000c15 just to match it, and it actually was a few % short even. But in other titles the 6 cores screamed ahead of the lowly 4-core Broadwell @ a mere 4.2Ghz tuned/oc'd and I was happy, while maintaining a great love for that strange but amazing little chip the 5775-c. Even the naming was weird.<br /> <br /> Since then I had a super bin 10900k that I'll give honorable mention to- I was able to tune that same ddr4 kit to 4400c17 and 5.3Ghz on all 10 cores. Noice. My son still rocks it to this day, on a 4080super & is still mostly not cpu-bound.<br /> 13700k came next, nothing special but a beast when tuned. Only left the 10900k bc my son wanted it and bc i wanted to play with ddr5 ram (ram tuning is fun to me). Still would call Broadwell my favorite nostalgically.<br /> <br /> But, FINALLY, I have returned to my roots and picked up a 9800x3d from Microcenter on Black Friday. I guess I have a new favorite finally.<br /> <br /> Appreciate the post and chance to reminisce on a by-gone era that just popped back up with 3d cache. And if you think about Intel's currently horrible situation with 3 straight gens of the same spinning-of-tires in the mud, and now a performance regression with Arrow Lake one has to wonder if instead of killing off their Gaming Cache discovery they had at least kept that in their back pocket for future use how things might have turned out a bit better for them, at least in the gaming space. I find it incredibly ironic that AMD is now using gaming cache (a better solution, too, and faster with L3 vs L4, yet still a massive pool for cache) to beat the brakes off of Intel in gaming.<br /> <br /> I still have that little devil, my daughter uses it in her gaming PC. Turns out The Sims and Fortnight both fit in cache and she gets pretty damn good performance out of it (and my old 1080ti).</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> <div

That was a cpu i was really happy about.<br /> <br /> Next will be core i7 980X. Overclock it to 4.75 GHz on air for benchmark but ran really hot. Normal day was more lige 4.5 GHz all core. Also a great cpu i abused alot with voltage up to 1.55 volt while running hot. It took the beating like a champ.<br /> <br /> These will be the greatest cpu's for my part. Cause of there oc capacity and stability throw i abused them, specially the 980X. I was on x58 for 12 years before moving to amd zen 3.

It's recent, but hear me out.<br /> <br /> This is the end of 2020 for a release. It's 6 cores, and 12 threads. It comes in in the value segment, is stomped in gaming performance, but only when you compare it to similarly slotted CPUs. If you look at this from the perspective of longevity, value, and efficiency the thing is an absolute titan....even if not the best. It had a well established platform, multiple generations of motherboard compatibility, and in 2024 it was still a viable option for those budget conscious but wanting solid performance.<br /> <br /> It's easy to love the x3d chips for pure gaming. It's easier to lover threadripper for core count. It's even easy to love Intel for raw performance in gaming without being dedicated to it. I love the 5600x because it redefined what an entry level processor with 6 cores could and should be...and a decade after Intel's launch of them in the enthusiast block it made 6 cores a standard

Gone are days when overclocking the chip at 4.5GHz and then 4.8GHz...4.9GHz...5.0GHz ON AIR were the goals of every PC enthusiasts/Overclocker. There is nothing like that after Sandybridge.

botched a detail]<br /> The cache was whatever for the iGPU, I never tried it and I dont think more than maybe some hundreds did. But, boy howdy was that cache ever great when you disabled the iGPU as it then worked with dGPU as a last level L4 and boosted certain games WELL past even Kaby Lake performance (one example was Assetto Corsa) provided the games assets fit in cache (or more technically the eDRAM die). </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a>Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote>Do you have any reference for that? I can't imagine any way eDRAM on the CPU package was used as some kind of cache by a discrete GPU.<br /> From what I can see, disabling the iGPU would allow all the eDRAM to be used by the CPU.</div>
