In response to amd's salted fish stand up, intel launched a strong 8 generations of Core Duo, and for the first time increased the number of core design from i3 to i7 each series are increased by 2 core, we can see intel this toothpaste crowded a little more Faced with a 4-core Core i3-8100, the previous generation Core i5-7500 go from here?
Many people will say that Core i5-7500 can be combined with h110 and ddr3 memory to reduce installed costs, Core i3-8100 only with z370 and ddr4 memory, the price does not exist advantage.
Then the problem came, recently developed black technology users: By changing bios Core i3-8100 100 Series and 200 Series motherboards can be used , Completely broke the previous price theory.
Core i3-8100 and Core i5-7500 parameters comparison
First, let's take a look at the Core i5-7500 parameters 4 core , The largest Core frequency 3.8GHz, 4 core Turbo 3.6GHz The Core i3-8100 is the same 4 core , No Core frequency function, the maximum frequency is 3.6Ghz In the case of full core work, Core i5-7500 and Core i3-8100 frequency is the same.
Core i3-8100
Core i5-7500
And compared to chess run points, Core i3-8100 even Go-ahead The Core i5-7500, this score gap can be considered as the configuration error range, but also can take into account the Core i3-8100Architecture advantage Lead to the same frequency running points higher.
From the above cpu-z and chess runs point of view, Core i3-8100 and Core i5-7500 basic performance, that is, at Non-nuclear work In the case, Core i5-7500 through Core frequency, so that the core frequency exceed Core i3-8100.
Core i3-8100 advantages
Previously, due to the definition of Intel 8 generation Core Duo only installed z370 motherboard And use ddr4 memory , Resulting in 8 generations of Core Duo The overall configuration of high prices So Core i5-7500 still has a certain competitiveness.We know that the difference between the z370 and the previous generation 1151 motherboard is only Added pin definition for more cores , Resulting in 8 generations of Core can not be compatible with the previous generation motherboard.
However, i5 and i7 are 6 cores need more power right, i3 is still the core of 4 , Stands to reason that does not require additional power pins, and from the parameters of the Core i3-8100 basic is the Core i5-7500 vest.
So users will pass In microcode Way to modify bios, Core i3-8100 can be used in the 100 series and 200 series motherboard, and can Compatible ddr3 memory (You're right, 8 generations of Core Duo only with ddr4 memory is to lie to you).
And even some motherboard update to the latest bios, without any changes can be Directly lit. Core i3-8100, it is estimated that the motherboard is recognized as Core i3-8100 Previous i5 beta . Correspondingly, some network operators also launched Core i3-8100 with h110 package and pre-brush bios for consumers to use directly.
However, the use of the Core i3-8100 in previous generations of motherboards still has bugs, for example Nuclear showed unusable , The first memory slot can not be used Etc., but there is no daily use of the problem.
Odor masters also look forward to the motherboard manufacturers can update their bios perfect support Core i3-8100. A tossing friend can buy a back to play, cost-effective.
Of course, even without the black technology time, Core i5-7500 will be out of competition after the listing of the 300 series of civilian-class motherboard.According to the current situation, the smell master can only sing a "cool" to the Core i5-7500 All readers have to remind the white side, do not be the store i5 business flicker, the use of 6,7 on behalf of i5 configuration.
Write at the end of the words
However, the smell there are some personal ideas to talk about this black technology, a quad-core host the price dropped nearly 500, just use 1200 yuan You can collect a set of u board memory, cost is very high.
Although the vast majority of games at this stage are quad-core optimized, some of the latest stand-alone games on the Core i5-7500 near full load game frame will be lower than the Ryzen r5-1400, and quad-core processor in many games occupancy rate High, not enough resources to carry out other tasks. Not to mention for the work of design, in the popular game 'Jedi survival', i5 quad-core processor occupancy rates have to Reach 80%.
Odor Master Core i5-6600 used to open two pages to see the live play when playing lol have dropped the frame.If the assembly of everyday home or office machine, then the use of quad-core processors, but the cost of dual-core four threads G4560, Let alone this year ces intel will release a stronger Pentium cpu.
Core i3-8100 and Core i5-7500 The location of this foe will be very embarrassing, smell masters that even if the cost-effective Core i3-8100 still at this stage Tasteless.
Had already had h110 motherboard and the corresponding memory friends would like to upgrade it can buy a Core i3-8100. However, Xiao Bian still suggest that you wait for the civilians 300 series motherboard after the market Start with 8 generations i5 and stronger cpu.
