New gaming PC

Microsoft has quit their updatings to Windows 10 and I have to buy a new computer. I have decided it will be a gaming PC this time and this PC has caught my interest. When you click the link below the pic you come to the swedish INET homesite but you can translate the entire site to english too. This PC has 7 fans and also a liquid cooling system.3 fans in front, 3 fans on top that belongs to the liquid-cooling system and 1 fan in back. The towerbox itself is like an aquarium and has 3 transparent sides and RGB-light in it so you can have a good view inside the entire box and the fans, RGB-light, motherboard, graphic-card etc.

Damn, that's fancy! You need a good processor too for gaming. Some people tend to underestimate the CPU, especially when it comes to some games.

I dont know what it means when it stands Number of cores
20 pcs, 8 Performance-cores + 12 Efficient-cores
Number of threads
28 pcs
Speed
3.4 GHz, 5.6 GHz With turbo

Can anybody explain this to me?

@Mathias Sure!

Number of cores: modern CPUs basically consist of multiple smaller processors that are part of the physical chip, each one is like a separate processor but they work together very well in the silicon architecture of your physical processor chip. In general, the more cores, the better. In this case you have alltogether 20 cores, however your specific processor has hybrid architecture. It has 2 types of cores. It has performance cores which are good for high-performance tasks like gaming, and it has efficient cores which play more of a support role; they run less demanding apps and background processes. So your processor has 8 high-performance and 12 efficient cores.

Threads: Those in simple terms determine how many tasks your processor can do simutanoiusly. It's good to have many threads if you run a lot of different stuff at once, so in general, the more the better.


Speed (e.g. 3.4 Ghz, 5.6 Ghz with turbo): The bigger the number, the better. 3.4 Ghz is it's normal frequency, and 5.6 Ghz is with the "turbo mode" (basically a tuned, overclocked mode when you want to squeeze all the juice out of it in some resource-heavy game or program). These numbers are the frequency of each core, so you might as well multiply it by number of cores to have an idea of actual performance. Also, keep in mind that actual performance also depends on the level of technology used to make your chip, so for example if you found a much older processor with same amount of cores, but higher GHz number, it's most likely still way worse than yours, because it uses old architecture that is much less efficient.

@Nightwings Thank you so much for that detailed info...is this PC a good PC or would you choose another one. I will use it for not only heavy games but also for ordinary office work, scan and sign documents, web-searching etc.

@Mathias It's great for all that, go for it! (=

@Mathias I'd personally here go for the AMD Ryzen 9800X3D or 7800X3D

@Mathias 16GB is the video ram or the system ram? In the latter case you'd need at least 32G, but now it's expensive as hell so good luck.

Don't forget to thank Sam Altman
