Did someone catch the license # of that CPU?
-
It took me all day to get back where I started - a working development machine. Same chassis, all new innards, moved away from my brief tryst with AMD back to an Intel monster. In this case I went from a 65W Ryzen 7 4750G which I thought was plenty fast to a screaming 125W i5-13600K with a mobo to match it. My RAM went from budget rate DDR4 to top shelf DDR5-6000 CL 32 "Aggressive" is the word I'd use to describe this little i5. It clearly feels it has something to prove, because in single core performance it swings pretty close to what an i9-13900k does. Can recommend this CPU to the exclusion of others in the latest Intel lineup if you want top shelf performance on air cooled and without breaking the bank. My system drive went from middle of the road last gen NVMe to something about 3 times as fast, a Samsung 990 Pro. I still haven't overclocked the CPU. I can't find reliable benchmark software that I like, so I "benched" it by turning off vsync and launching Fallout 4. Prior to this upgrade, it would struggle at 4k to get 60FPS. It mostly did, but would often dip into the 50s. After the upgrade I get between 120fps and 150fps with no vsync. Same video card, mind you - a 2080TI I did this for compile speeds, so upgrading the GPU didn't matter. But reading and writing files at 7GB/s sure does. I love that new PC smell you know? Now just ignore that my old fans are dying and my HDD is physically rattling at this point. Move along, nothing to see here. My machine is NICE! pay no attention to the smoking parts. :-\

Thank you for this information.

Enjoy. I would ask how much of your development time is actually spent compiling (as opposed to writing code, tracing through the debugger, etc.)? Is the speedup really worth the money?

I mean, no? But that's not why I did it. It was a matter of this: I pay taxes on this money I don't really need to have, or I get a faster machine, give my sister a faster machine, and save myself the aggravation of waiting. Waiting in general I mean. For anything. This computer takes longer to post than to boot.

May I please inquire the boot time . I am also upgrading my 🐷 of a machine . From AMD A6-9225 to intel i7-6700 from HD to PCIe SSD both had/have DDR4 16GB . The new machine will arrive in a few days . If i it had originally i assume my current project would have been completed long ago as i find myself waiting waiting waiting for builds to complete which i am tired of doing . The boot time of my current 🐽 prior to a recent upgrade to from HD to SATA SSD was measured w/ a calendar .

It varies. The first time it took over a minute. I actually thought it wasn't posting. Now it takes long enough that my monitor (which is a large 4k TV) will go into "scan" mode because it's not getting a signal. Or at least it did until i hard set it to PC. I haven't timed it specifically, but my windows boot time is near instant. I'm on a Samsung 990 Pro NVMe stick, which is the fastest system drive i could find. I'm also on DDR5-6000 CL32 which is more than a standard Intel CPU can handle (you need an unlocked chip to go above 5600) That probably helps. =)
