Reply to comment by Danjour in Intel’s new desktop processor reaches 6GHz without overclocking by disfigured_mishap

First off, it's a processor that nobody in their right mind would pay for.

Secondly, clock speed isn't the most important thing when it comes to actual processor speed, or the work it does.

Autocad is still single core process.

We have simulation environments at work which are single core. The next state requires knowledge of the previous one. Can’t pipeline. This might work for us.

Having the right tool is so much more important than having the best tool.

depends on what tool you are using and if that tool is for the purpose intended

I still question if this is a better option than the non-S version. You’re spending a ton of power and likely running into thermal problems without excellent cooling for a very small improvement in single core performance

You should see the cost of what we did otherwise. We water cooled a bunch of gaming machines and that worked well until the ac broke and the machines got soaked. Still cheaper than time.
