There are whispers suggesting that 8-core chips might outshine 4-core ones with Direct X 12 when Windows 10 arrives soon. I recently swapped my 8-core unit for an Intel i7 4970K, so I’m curious if this is just speculation. Of course, rumors can be misleading.
No, not necessarily. Performance depends on the task and system configuration.
If the system used an 8350 with eight cores and DX12 supports eight threads, the 4790k remains the best choice.
These processors offer only four cores with eight threads, not the full eight cores advertised.
