New gen, next gen games or whatever you want to call them. They are in many cases made for multi threading machines a. Would not HT be benificial in this near future?
Their "modules" is pretty much a HT core, sooo The answer may depend on how many threads the game is tuned for, and how well the OS can manage those threads. The intel hyperthreads, and to a lesser extent the companion threads of the FX chips are slower than the main core. If the game or the os dispatches critical tasks on the slower thread, game performance will suffer.
Here is an interesting set of benchmarks for BF4 multiplayer. Note that windows 8. W7 for whatever reason can have an impact in games, particularly the FX chips.

Actually this provides a more in depth look at the matter. Nicolae Andrei :. Oct 12, 1 0 4, 0. Pinhedd :. Running tougher games perfectly. CPUs 4 Apr 30, Question why do i get low cpu clock speeds like gaming Question My iu keeps downclocking while playing games.

Can anyone provide any benchmarks comparing HT on and off? And if there is a difference is it worth the price delta between i5 and i7? Been reading some contradicting opinions on this lately, so I thought it might be a fun topic to discuss. Vya Domus. Joined Jan 8, Messages 7, 3.
Well first of all you need to understand what HT does to understand what I am going to say about i5 vs i7 or whatnot. HT doubles some of the front end resources of a core , namely the bits that fetch , decode and decide what instruction is about to be executed.
Meanwhile the resources that do the actual computations still remain in the same quantity , in other words all HT does is maximize the usage of a core. Basically under normal circumstances a core remains not fully utilized most of the time , from that you may be able to see why HT would be more effective when there are less cores and less so when there are more in a game that typically manages a limited amount of multitasking.
So it kind of goes like this , something like a Pentium would be worthless without HT due to limited execution resources from the get go , a quad core with HT would generally be faster than one with out there are some games that will literally not run at 60fps if you don't have at least 8 threads such as AC:Origins.
Now that Intel finally upped the core count after a decade the importance of HT has been somewhat diminished , but that's only for the time being. At some point it will be more relevant such was the case with quad cores.

Some games perform the same some games perform worse some perform much worse. There is no reason to get pay money for this technology if all you do is play games. Vario said:. The other thread addressing encoding, not gaming. For purely gaming, it performs the same or worse. Thank you. My point is I have been thinking about this lately.
Obviously there are a lot more people who simply play games on their pcs than people who work with highly multithreaded applications. I am one of them. I will not encode anything on my pc, so why bother with the i7 k for example?
If I were to jump into the 8 series from intel and buy a processor my choice would be the k. The difference in price is better invested in the other components. Joined Mar 11, Messages 1, 0.

Depends if game developer implements it. It can help if used properly.

Depends on the games you want to play, per core performance trumps both thread and core count in a lot of cases basically all the time for older games , on the other hand most cases you are already running beyond fps on those games.
HT can play into the latter by reducing the impact of non game related background processes, but the effect is minimal in most cases. You need to evaluate your use case and whether it applies to you. If your question is whether to get the k or k, I would say wait until intel releases their 8 core CPUs and reevaluate, there will probably still be some price drops from both AMD and intel.
