Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

So it's quick, then. The question is, do you really need all of those extra cores? If it's the very best performance that you want, and damn the cost, the answer has to be yes.Broadwell-E, at least in the form of the ten-core Core i7-6950X I've looked at...
If you're clued up about the current state of affairs as you leave the realms of quad-core CPUs then you'll no doubt realise that in some ways there are diminishing returns as you add more cores. In fact, some performance benchmarks get slower as the effe...
