Is the intel core i7 3820 good?

thx

 
The i7 3770k is faster but if I were you, I'd wait for the i7 4770k coming out June 4th. You're going to get an a least 10% better CPU for the same price.
 
is their every going to be a intel core i8 lol??

 


lol i don't think so, maybe i9 but it's very unlikely

 


Are you saying you can see the future? You are 100% sure there'll never be no i8 and i9?
 
i happily own an i7-3820 and its very good. overclocks well and its perfect for converting video files also for my gaming :)
 


Not way, theyre actually quite alike. 3820 preforms like other i7 sandys (bit better)but if anything I would go for 3820 beacuse you can upgrade to 3970X later (or 30k). But keep in mind that 2011 mobos are more expensive :)
 

thanks how do i close the convo?
 
the 2011 are indeed more expensive but by going with one 1155 socket you may need to get a new motherboard and a cpu afterwards for upgrade!actually i have made some benchmarks myself between these two cpus and the 3770k is more powerful in some fields like rendering its way faster!in gaming i really dont its an i7 totally not a gaming cpu so not a big deal!
