Anyone having experience in upgrading from a 4x4 CPU to a 4x8 CPU ? ( 4Core, 8 Threads )
My System is i5-4690s , 16GB DDR3 1600, SSD@Satta3
I prefer i7-4790s because of the energy consumption and I need the GPU.
Background is code development , office - no games.
In a few circumstances I would like a faster system.
20% would be great - I don´t want to buy a new PC.
Any Benchmark results are not important here because
I can only upgrade to a CPU that has the same speed but 8 instead of 4 threads @ 4 core.
What counts is the overall feeling when working with IDE like visual studio or android studio,
lots of chrome tabs and the chrome console ( inspector -> elements ).
In that environment the CPU is almost never at 100% . I don´t know if the 1600 ddr3 RAM is the bottleneck - or the limited number of cores.#
Any hints from real working environment I would be really thankful.
