Do You Prefer Higher Clocks Or More Cores?

 

[Daniel José]

I prefer more performance

 

[James Kimberling]

More cores

 

[James Kimberling]

Otherwise high clocks are worthless

 

[Ben James]

Both. Balanced with value for money and power draw. And strong IPC.

But if your question is would I prefer Kaby Lake or Ryzen at a given price point (say the highlighted r5 1500x) ... then I'll take the r5 1500x over an i5 7500 thanks.

 

[Ashwani Bhagat]

Never think about that, i am poor

 

[Parth Desai]

Higher IPC

 

[Pierce Hester]

honestly since neither directly related to smoother gameplay. who cares

 

[Yhut Mahm]

Efficiency in computes

 

[Dennis Eriksson]

More cores because I'm a multi-tasker/creator

 

[Mason Pearmain]

More cores with decent IPC/clocks. A Ryzen 5 1600 should be enough for what I do now but the 1700 will last longer so I'm leaning towards the 1700 to upgrade my i7 3770s

 

[Johnathan Marsh]

Quad core with decent clocks.

 

[Bear Cuevas]

It always depends on what you are doing... but most of the times more cores
