i7 and i7

Anyone know the difference between

i7 860 2,8Ghz and i7 930 2,8 ghz?

Well its different socket and motherboard, RAM and all that but i mean the CPU, whats the difference?

Well it would be good if u bought the 930, then u can upgrade to another CUP with the same socket.

930 is a lot better, faster and more expensive.

is there a big dif betw i7 and i9?

Well if you are playing games or day to day tasks there isn't much difference between the 2 CPU's. But when you start rendering (making) videos or 3D modelling (game making) its almost twice as better.

The Core i9 is new and probably costs a shit load, so no point in buying one. Core i7 is something I have and is still more then enough for me. I don't exactly make videos or games so I doubt anyone else would need the higher end CPU that would probably cost 700$+.

I'll stick with getting i5's. :/

is the i3 or i5 good for gaming? i prob will get a pc with one of those

Get an i7 if you cant then get an i5 at the least. i3 just sucks, they are pretty bad to be honest.

Google is your friend in this sort of matters:

Cuz i was to lazy to copy past all of that to here
Just wanted to give u those answers
Basicly the 930 is newer, a little bit faster and more expensive like Creamy said.

not a big price difference...like 75$

I think thats alot of money... Can do much different shit with that money
Can get a nice massage or something together with my gf

The difference between a i7 860 and a 920 or 930 whatsoever is the socket and front side busses and all that shit.. i don't want to get in too much details.. Now the reason why the Socket 1156 (i3,5,7s) are cheap is because they got less amount pins on the processor itself but thats not the only thing. Processors have their prices on Cores threads and clock speed. Ofcourse you could go with a core 2 quad or a core 2 duo and Overcloack it and get the same performance but you might as well get a better cooler but thats extra cash but also saving you money from buying a i5 or a i7. As i said before the biggest difference between 860 and 920 is the socket which 860 got the socket 1156 for the i3 i5 and i7 while the 920 and the next generations have the socket 1366 which is the latest processor socket on the market. Now those numbers on the socket types stays for how many pins the actually got so the 860 and other i5s got 1156 pins and the 920 and after got 1366 pins. Now there is no difference between the cores or threads though both 860 and 920 got 4 cores and 8 threads which is 2 threads for each core with Hyper-Threading technology making them run a lot faster than AMD processors with socket AM3 out there. I hope this information have helped you and ask me if there is something you need help with.

Theres nothing called "i9" yet. They released the Six core 12 thread codenamed Gulftown the i7 980X Extreme CPU which is the newest technology on the socket 1366 based motherboards so your older 1366 X58 chipset motherbords will support it but its not called a i9 yet. They will release the i9 family soon i think but the newest six core processor is the i7 980X EXTREME.

oh well i got a Q6600 and that's enough for me

To long, did not read. well i already knew that, i've got my answers so the topic could be locked

Yeah Pretender the Core 2 Quad Q6600 which is stock 2.66 GHz is more than enough for games today. It goes crazy if you overcloak it which means you get lots of more bang for the buck.
