The experience of the novice to the winger - the choice of home ITX platform (CPU article)

I started to work on these two days. The efficiency of Xiaobian's audit was obviously much faster.

The last issue of the motherboard, then the protagonist of this issue is the heart of the computer - CPU. Attach a local friend to a town building

Well, this price is not suitable for civilians at all, or is it right? Some people here may say that the CPU's choice has nothing to do with the motherboard's board type... and the previous one also stated that the choice of CPU on the ITX platform is better than the motherboard's choice. It's a lot simpler, but the dwarf still needs to pull up the big one. Is it right? Please refer to the previous issue for the selection of the motherboard:


1. The choice of INTEL and AMD

There is not much room for brand choice in the CPU (accurately speaking, it should be the central processor), nothing more than the toothpaste factory (INTEL) and the agricultural enterprise (AMD). Although AMD's products look at all kinds of hanging up in the data, but in the market share is a toothpaste factory raiding agricultural enterprises ... but the toothpaste factory also should thank agricultural enterprises did not go bankrupt and let themselves carry a monopoly ( Can refer to the Microsoft of the year)

AMD is dubbed the origin of agricultural enterprises I am also not very clear, perhaps related to the low price of its products, and therefore has been regarded as the king of cost-effective many silk thread think of 8 core Turbo 4.2G CPU as long as less than 800, I7 III One-for-one price has twice the performance

Although the data looks so beautiful, but for unknown reasons (the specific reasons the landlord did not seriously investigate) is actually used in the "I3 silent seconds" ... ... but this statement is a bit exaggerated, although not as good as I7, and I5 The FX8300 can be a famous bulldozer series (is it because it is called a farmer?) and the E3 does not have nuclear, and AMD's other once praised advantage is the nuclear APU series. Now according to some unofficial evaluations, INTEL's current high-end nuclear display has exceeded APU.

So is this AMD all useless? The answer must be negative. Because the winter can be warm ... heating ... Of course, this is only a joke, but this series of discussions is the choice of ITX platform, while the AMD platform's ITX motherboard is pitifully, only one East own sales in only one price As close as the same processor, I would consider using M-ATX's A platform

Conclusion: AMD's high power consumption and lack of corresponding motherboard product lines are destined for AMD and ITX platforms.


2. Selection of CPU series

The above also stated that the APU is not suitable for a compact ITX platform. So where do we go in the INTEL series?

Today's CPUs (hereinafter referred to as INTEL products) are mainly divided into the following series: Celeron, Pentium, and I3/5/7 series. Celeron is not synonymous with low-end use. It is recommended to use it from the Pentium series even when it is used as an HTPC. In addition, a large-valued friend has seen a Pentium overclocking and the single-core performance is almost equal to I7. Not recommended for newbies )

In fact, I3, which is also dual-core, does not recommend everyone to use it. It is worth noting that there is no cost-effective price for the additional one-point clock that costs nearly twice as much.

Think of that time, the landlord's first computer is the Pentium III CPU, Pentium is a synonym for high-end ah

The topic is far-reaching... Then, I7, with its 4-core I7, is only four hyperthreads more than I5, which occupies a large advantage in multitasking. The extra threads are not very useful for everyday households, but they pay far more than a thousand dollars for Grandpa Mao (Pentium Tears), so I5 is better than other series in terms of cost performance. In view of the principle of buying new and not buying the old, only the 6th generation I5 is compared here.

Aside from the low-power series that can't be started with official channels, the 6-generation I5 has the following three options:

The previous motherboard article has said that the most cost-effective is the B series motherboard, so the 6600K and 6600K with 6600 with the same 6600K can be considered to be excluded, coupled with the ITX chassis the most sensitive and extremely unfriendly power consumption (130W), can Determined to be correct. Comparing the remaining 6500 and 6600, it was discovered that in the case of a 0.1GHz frequency and 0.3GHz more than the core frequency, the price was more than 20 US dollars (Mao Grandpa price difference is as follows):

Originally I did not recommend newcomers to join in all types of cults. I said here that I must mention another cult (others say that it is a religion):

That is the E3 cult


And the attitude of the believers for E3 is this  

In short, the user inadvertently discovered that a certain server platform CPU can be used on an ordinary personal desktop platform, and this processor has achieved I7 performance at the price of I5. In view of this processor is not an official starting channel, only deepwater treasure to buy, here will not send a link, interested beginners can be their own Baidu is worth mentioning is that INTEL on the 100 series motherboard has closed the loopholes, but each Big motherboard vendors have begun selling server motherboards

3. About the film

INTEL's original CPU is boxed and has a heatsink (although the original heat is very "fine") and the flake has only one CPU as its name implies. The contents of the box are as follows (do not spray the old figure), if you want to use the tablet, please refer to the following figure.

Before hesitated for a long time to write this paragraph, because the film can only be purchased through unofficial channels, for the new wingman is not guaranteed. However, the difference of several hundred yuan between boxed and scattered pieces is not a small number, enough to replace a top-level air-cooled cooling and careful study and found that the flake is still feasible. Reasons are as follows

1. The CPU is not so easily broken, as long as it is not overclocked and uncovered by violence.

2. CPU can't fake this stuff, but it's polished/changed cover (Escaped to the naked eye but can't escape CPU-Z)

3. Only the K-series CPUs need to consider the physical quality problem (a treasure water is too deep, there are many large thunder)

In short, non-K-series CPUs (such as I5-6500) can be considered for purchase, but be careful not to buy a beta version; although second-hand CPUs have no impact on performance, they try to buy new ones; if there are Ability to try to go to the store to mention


4. About nuclear display

It would be appropriate to verify that this piece should be placed on the graphics card, but since I don't need a graphics card, I don't have much research on the card, so I'll talk about it with the CPU.

Has been using the nuclear display for two years did not feel any pressure, because at most it sucks poisoned milk powder what, until one day after the chassis is connected to the 4K resolution TV, the picture ... with PPT, Ka Sung-hsin Described as no later changed for the small crow 2 (right cover picture) can support full-length graphics card, ready to buy 1050 (Ti) in the double 11 to the wish

However, for ITX platforms that are not pursuing small steel cannons, nuclear is the best match (poor savior). As a senior nuclear user, I think that nuclear is suitable for the following types of people:

1. Eat the earth party (poorly forced beauty)

2. Extreme Small Chassis Party

3. Light entertainment (do not play large games)

    Regarding nuclear performance, the landlord's 4590 drug abuser has a maximum of 200 frames + but it is the lowest special effect, but for this 2D game, the full effect can not see any difference. In terms of habit, this game does not have 4 Titans to play? In addition to the poisoned milk powder, I also tried a number of online games, at least under the default image quality, which is also a good idea for newcomers who plan to take the opportunity to attach a recent FPS data:

The above is my experience on CPU purchase, a word summary: low demand (such as HTPC) please Pentium G4500, the pursuit of cost on I5-6500, cult religion, please on the E3, not bad money, please I7, Tyrant please I am a friend
