Intel Core i7: CGpinoy user feedback

ask ko lang kung may user na ng i7 dito sa CGPinoy? excited lang sa bagong build.. feedback naman kung worthy every cents sa rendering performance nito..

hindi ako corei7 user pero may plan din... eto na ba ung sinasabi na nehalem bro? alam ko kasi 8 buckets to pag render e.

@kietsmark
eto nga yun , naisip ko kasi compare yung i7 setup sa mga gamit namin dito na dual xeon, mas mura kasi yung i7 than to buy dual socket board and 2 dual xeon.. investment na din and gaming station ko for 2009.

i know medyo magastos yung ddr3 and "decent" x58 board, pero kating-kati na yung kamay ko dito, wala kasi akong pc pa din dito sa area ko, first build ko sa labas ng pinas, kaya excited.

calling rig noobies: necrolyte,
for sure nag price check ka na din sa sg, magkano na dyan?

bro ang sagap ko kay boy abunda sa pinas nasa 14-15k lang yang corei7 hehehe if i remember it right 14,600PHP kaya yakang-yaka mo yan un nga lang mayayari ka nga sa memory nyan kasi mahal.

astig na gaming rig nga yan. wait ka muna 4 months baka sakali bumaba hehehe

medyo premium nga pricing, pero normal na yan compare sa mga last release ng 2006 and 2007 na overprice.. remember nakakalula noon ang 7800gtx and amd x2, the best talaga release ng Core2Quad.

Dominator na ddr3 triple channel na target ko mas mahal pa sa proc, and twice sa mobo, prepare na budget kaso wala nga dito sa bahrain matinong memory and board, may x58 dito kaso stock intel lang..

gusto ko sana makita yung realtime performance against my favorite Q6600.. hehe

un nga palang 14.6k is ung corei7 920 lang hehehe ung high-end na corei7 umaabot daw ng 50k bro whew!
the best talaga ung core2quad bro na release medyo mainit nga lang... yan nga ang mahirap pag walang source ng parts tsk tsk tsk kahit ba gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME (UD5) wala dyan bro? ano ba mobo choice mo sana? para magka-idea din ako hehehe

Asus Rampage 2 or kahit P6T deluxe, medyo sanay na ako mag asus. hehe.. or kung available dito na gigabyte or foxcon bloodrage same quality din naman yun..

great mobo. goodluck on your build bro. hope to see it soon on SYR thread

MY OPINION, WHY DONT YOU STAY PUT ON YOUR CORE 2 QUAD, THEN ADD ANOTHER 1 AND ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE, 4 CPU'S EQUIVALENT TO 16 BUCKETS. WALAAAAH RENDER FARM HEHEHE. THAT WILL COST AROUND ONLY 1 INTELI7.

bro hanep naman ang post mo... all caps pa talaga... parang galit na galit hehehe good point pero kapag kasi bro nawili ka sa pag-upgrade talagang parang necessity na magkaron ng kung ano ung latest hardwares ng pc... it's like you are using 3dsmax old version pero pag may lumabas na mas latest hindi pwedeng hindi ka rin bibili at gagamit.

YAP YOU HAVE THE POINT SIR, NA KAILANGAN MAG UPGRADE AND I agree with you. MY POINT LANG if ala masyadong budget, sa core to quad muna, hanggang sa bumaba na ang presyo ng intel corei7.
I have research yung sa intel core i7 parang isang kotseng bagong model na ang sarap patakbuhin dahil sa sobrang tulin, masyadong mahal lang ang mga hardware parts katulad ng mga, ram, and motherboard besides sa processor, hindi lang yun kailangan ng magandang power supply na nagkakahalaga ng 10,000php and above to insure the board and processor.

IMHO opinion, hindi naman mahal yung Corei7. ang mahal ay yung motherboard at memory na compatible dito. magkapresyo nga lang ang bagong Core2quad at Corei7 na processor eh.

i7 smoked my phenomII x4 3.0 demnnn

im using this beast too.... corei7 2.67ghz x 6gig ram ddr3.... so far im satisfied sa speed nya...

well... kaya nga bro... sinasabi na "upgrade itch" meaning... kamutin na lang muna kung walang mola hehehe kung meron naman aba e bilhin ang gamot

oh wow! based from what i read here, that thing (pentium corei7) is really one hell of a beast.

Siguro, hanggang sa next generation ng intel processor, di pa rin ako makakabili...hirap na buhay.....

xacto ito for my upgrade once lumabas ito sa market
replacing my core2dual 2.0, 2-gig ddr2, 1gb v card and for upgrade on mboard,
processor & ddr3 nalang & much cheaper lalabas...

i'll save my existing trendsonic black casing with 650watts HEC power supply...

matching my ultimate renderer & quad2core buddy with same setup...

sarap nito for deadline purposes...

bro malupit nga yang corei7 pero i guess kung mag upgrade ka kelangan mo rin palitan yang 650watts mo ng 1000 to 1200watts para safe ung rig mo.

sna wag na nilang itaas ang pwer supply requirement para indi problema sa kuryente bills heheheheh
para yung ginawa sa mga v card to avoid from to much heats causing the fans... i guess magawaan nila ng solution...
finger crossed...

agree, murang mura na yan.. pwede naman softmode i7, yung stock na Intel BLKDX58SO nasa 12kphp lang sa pinas, then Kingston na ddr3 na 2gb nasa 6kphp lang.. kaya wala na nga reason to upgrade to 45nm quad skt. 775, pwede na din direct to i7 imho..

@sundance and i7 user..
screenies naman ng real time sa rendering.. benchmark details naman dyan..

i guess your are not an ATi user.. never heard of powerplay, ayt?

tingin ko mas applicable ang mag buo ng Corei7 rig if you are building it from scratch and don't have the current one, rather than upgrading your current Quadcore rigs to Corei7. unless you have the money to burn.

in the real world performance, hindi mo naman din talaga mararamdaman ang kinaibahan ng old, new quadcores vs. corei7, aside from hardcore benchmarking. lalo na kung ang ginagamit mo din na program/application ay pare-pareho lang din.

Hi Guys, We have Corei7 sa office, i compared it to our quad6600 its only 20-30% faster. The Mac Pro 8 core is more than 50% faster than the quad6600.

IMHO. If you have q6600 not a big difference to upgrade. it still cannot beat a true 8core, maybe if u get the top of the line Corei7 and OC

say ko lang core i7 rocks..

hindi ba bro mainit ang corei7? or mas mainit pa kesa sa Q6600?

ganda nmn ang topic dito wish k lang po sana magkaroon din ako for personal only,GODBLESS sa inyong laht mga master's and members...
