[SOLVED] E5-1650 v2 vs E5-4627 v2

[Matthughes576]

Coming from a 2670, which one of these would be the best for gaming with a lot of backgrounds processes and applications? I generally did not want to step down in core count but the frequency kinda seems worth it. However, the 4627 still has a much better base and boost speed over my 2670. Any thoughts?

It really depends on how much the lack of cores/threads will do and how much of that you can sacrifice for single thread performance. Looking at the following, it seems your 2670 is on the end of more cores vs core performance, and the 1650 is on the other end of that with more performance but less cores, and the 4627 is in the middle:

One thing to note is that the two choices do have a higher tdp than your 2670.

Whats your guess on the gaming performance between the 1650 v2 and the 4627 v2? (keep in mind I have a 1070ti which is out of their league already, and I'm unable to overclock on z420)

For straight gaming performance, the higher frequency will be most important if you have 4 cores or more. Few games can take advantage of more than 4 cores. AFAIK. You mentioned background apps. That's where things get tricky. Without knowing what sort of load those place on the system, it's really impossible to tell how the systems will respond.

4 cores are fine if you don't play heavy online games like BFV 64 player.

Many motherobards may not support the E5-4xxx series CPUs. They were designed for four socket motherboards. Although they use the same socket as an E5-1xxx series CPU, the motherboard won't support it. E5-1xxx series CPUs will only work in single socket motherboards. E5-2xxx CPUs will work in some single socket and dual socket motherboards. E5-4xxx CPUs did not get much support outside of quad socket motherboards.
