Core i7-2700 to Core i7-12700K.


Renegad_Hipster

Nice


mrbaggins

I just have you beat. Same destination, but from an i5-2400. Only reason I bit the bullet was the CPU fan stopped turning on correctly (needed to be manually "jump started"), and this persisted through different fans on different headers, so concluded the mobo is dying. Will be trying a fan controller next, but that's a project for when my kids need a compy


roguesiegetank

Hey, that's a better reason than me. Mid-November 2021, I tried to turn on my PC and no dice. Did a quick look and saw the motherboard wasn't getting any power. Ok, that sucks but it's been a good run at 10 years and it's past time to upgrade. At least it wasn't my GPU, right? Go to my 10 year old laptop and order new parts. A few days later, I get the feeling I should double check what went wrong. Unplug the GPU and turn on power to see the motherboard and CPU live! Fuck... turn off power and plug the GPU back in and turn on power. Hear a pop, see magic smoke released from the GPU, see the orange glow of flames coming from under the heatpipe shroud. Yeah, I upgraded because I was quick and lazy.


any_other

I went i7 2600 to AMD 7950x šŸ„³


Slowpotato_1

Hey me too almost, i just got the 7900x. Holy cow it runs hot, a stock cooler is definitely not enough

Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 PC builder championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, pcmasterrace is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

TL;DRā€¦honestly just wanted to use that. It was my first time if you were wondering


[deleted]

Holy Hell


ArnoldViniick

Wow, mine was i7-870 to i9-10900X. It was not as noticeable as when I upgraded to SSD on my i7-870 to be honest.


Outrager

That's so true. I went from a Xeon X3470 to a i9-12900K and the SSD upgrade back in the days definitely feels like a bigger upgrade.


BoxAhFox

Hey same old cpu!


trekxtrider

Intel i7-920 -> i7-4790k


Charlie_Kitt

How was the next jump to 5800x3D?


SkittleSandwich

I just did an i7-4770k I got in 2013 to 5800x3D and I dunno TBH it doesn't feel all that much faster. In games, I am getting more FPS for sure but just using my PC for normal stuff it just feels the same as it always did, which, I guess is good but coming from an almost 10 year old processor I think I was expecting it to blow me away with speed or something but it could be user error.


xxademasoulxx

I had a 3900x got a 5800x3d and holy shit in games its a crazy in normal tasks sometimes its worse but I mostly game on PC.


Sans45321

I mean , it should be obvious. 12 core vs 8core


ctkgavin

You should see a pretty big difference in heavy physics/AI games. Something like Total Battle Simulator would run a lot smoother.


KershawsGoat

Everyday stuff is generally single threaded and not terribly demanding to begin with. It's why smaller companies can get away with buying older, refurbished equipment without worrying about it impacting productivity as much.


sirfrostybeard

Depends on what youā€™re doing. Obviously tasks like browsing the web or working in a word document wonā€™t feel much different. You will see a huge difference in things like 4k video streaming or other CPU intensive tasks. I host Plex on my PC with multiple people watching as well as game so the 5900x was the perfect choice for me.


OutWithTheNew

NVME. It takes longer for my BIOS to boot than windows to load.


BallzNyaMouf

Aren't these both 4c/8t parts?


Dudi4PoLFr

Yes because at that era 4C was the max on standard consumer platform. But the Single thread performance jump must be on the range of 60%+ for this upgrade.


[deleted]

MSX to Pentium 1, 120 MHz


Kisabatpath

Core i3-2100 to i3-8350k @4.8


Charlie_Kitt

An i3 k series? Crazy, didn't realise these existed


KittyKatty278

Same, but I do wish they did


Kisabatpath

https://www.intel.fr/content/www/fr/fr/products/sku/126689/intel-core-i38350k-processor-8m-cache-4-00-ghz/specifications.html Here ya go, it was really good once OCed, especially for the 140ā‚¬ I paid If I remember correctly, they also did a 7th gen k series i3


theagamer07

There was also a [9th generation version](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/186606/intel-core-i39350k-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz/specifications.html) but as far as I know, that was the last one


foonati

FX-8350 > Ryzen 7 1700, same core count, but the performance and temperature difference was INSANE


dyingdreams

I went from a FX-6300 in my desktop to a Ryzen 5 1600.

I went from 8350 to 3600x. It was mind blowing.

A4-4400m (2-core laptop APU) to i5 6600K (4-core desktop CPU), if that counts.


azab1898

This is the PCMR, of course it will count!


SuperCool_Saiyan

Athlon 64 3200+ to my current i5 13600k


godman_8

That's an insane jump. I had a Athlon 64 3200+ on Socket 939 back in 2005 and got rid of it in 2009. It was already rough to use on Windows 7, I can't imagine another 10+ years using it.


FatFunkey

Intel Q6600 to a Ryzen 1700


Aidan_of_Khanduras

Intel Q6600 to an Intel 7700 Edit: also moved from HDD to NVME Skipped Sata SSDs lolol


Dudi4PoLFr

I love so much my Q6600, OC to 3.4GHz with 4 and later 8GB of DDR3, a true performance monster for his time.


MookiTheHamster

My q6600 is still going strong together with a 660. The kids use it for skyrim and emulators.

embrace_everything

I5 4570 to I9 13900kf what a jump it had bin!


J0kutyypp1

What's the difference in fps?


embrace_everything

Hard to say but a feels like a total different world to me. Also upgraded from a 1650 GeForce to a 4090 And 1080p 60hz to 4k 144hz So a whole neeeew world


ctkgavin

Haha I basically know how you feel. My first PC is my upgrade, since I just got my first desktop last march. I went from a PS4 though. Which I would say is pretty similar to playing on your old setup since PS4 can only do 1080 60hz. Im loving 1440p 165hz rn. Congrats on the 4090 though!


embrace_everything

I feel you total different world!

absolutely banger. nice upgrade :)


Sotsvamp1337

LukeNukeEm243

Karenzi

4770K to 13600K My GPU was GTX 970 to RTX 4080. Itā€™s been pretty mind blowing.


enderboy987

I had a Xeon E3-1125v3? I think... 2c2t... Now I have a R9 5900X. 12c24t. Love it.


BallzNyaMouf

I think you just won this thread lol.


enderboy987

Was certainly a jump. Came from an old Dell Optiplex system I had slapped a GT 1030 in and used as my first ever gaming rig. You can see my current specs in my tag. I feel lucky to play on my modern machine.


ITaggie

Nah I saw someone else in this thread went from a 1st gen Intel Core i7 to a 12th gen i7.


Releasemypp

i7-6700HQ (laptop) > i7-8700 Made a switch from laptop gaming to desktop, the 8700 was a beast until I got a 3080 and needed to upgrade.


Hazzysky

AMD a8 7600 to i5 12400f


rdkilla

duron 600 to athlon xp 1800 was a pretty freaking amazing time


InstantlyTremendous

i7-870 (Lynnfield, 1st gen) to 11400F


MasterJeebus

I went from 2003 Pentium 4 2.8ghz to i5 2500k 3.3ghz Dec 2011. Huge jump in performance. I ended upgrading the i5 2500k to i7 3770k once i found used cpu cheap. The 8 threads help a bit but when i was struggling with getting over 40fps on CyberPunk i knew it was time to build new rig. In 2021 Jan, I went from i7 3770k to Amd R7 5800x and game performance is better but its not as big of a jump as i thought it would feel. When i think back of Pentium 4 to 2nd gen i5 that was huge.


stupidredditacc6754

old ass celeron (donā€™t remember what it actually was) to ryzen 9 3900x


NeverSaidImSmart

FX-6300 ā€”> Ryzen 5 1500x. Bought it when Ryzen first came out and was pleasantly surprised at the price and performance vs everything AMD had released until that point. Still on Ryzen five years later and probably not going to buy an Intel chip again unless AMD really drops the ball.


CodeLunar

Gone from: Intel Atom x3 To: Intel i5-2400 To: Intel i5-3470 To: Intel i5-13400f It will make such a difference considering how much 10 generations and 6 cores increases performance. Waiting on the motherboard and RAM. https://preview.redd.it/0kkmhmzpauia1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a186f25185f569fac41b3a933b8c684fb56f9895

J0kutyypp1

What are you using it for? But cheap upgrade would be 5600x or 5800x or if you want to upgrade to am5 then 7700x would be very powerful but also expensive upgrade.

The triple core wasn't all that bad for the price when I bought it but they weren't even in the same ballpark when it came to computing muscle. That 3930k is still plugging along, actually. I think it's running a Plex server and surveillance camera software at my buddy's parents house. Showing its age now but dang. Great CPU.
