QOTW: Which CPU are you using?

[OilSheikh]

i7 6600 stock

[Lord Midas]

9700k. Powerful and future proofed

[AndyM2012]

I updated, in February, from an i7-920 to an i5-9600K.

There's no point in being hasty about these things.

9700k. Powerful and future proofed

Please tell me how it's future proof. It's susceptible to Meltdown, Spectre and the new flaw just released and it's about to become a dead platform as Intel's next cpu's need a new motherboard again. I've abandoned Intel for AMD and have given my son my 7700K and I've got a new 2700 o/c to 4.1 on all cores and in games I can't tell the difference. By doing this I can buy a Zen 2 when I want (my Asus X470 prime Pro already has a bios for Zen 2) and if Zen 3 is released in 2020 that will most likely, but not confirmed, AM4 compatible as well. If not I've still got an upgrade path where you'll shortly have none.

i7 4790k @4.0ghz stock. It keeps up with any task I want for now. Gaming at 1080p with a gtx 1080. Music DAW, learning Blender, and web apps. I do have a 24" 1440p 144hz monitor which isn't getting it's full usage.

Phenom II 960T, and sorely in need of an upgrade.
Got an AM4 motherboard, just need the rest of it now.

6 Core Xeon E5 1660 v2 @ 4.7GHz on a Rampage IV Gene with Corsair Dominator GT 1866 C9 4x8GB
8 Core Xeon E5 1680 v2 @ 4.5GHz on a Rampage IV Extreme with Corsair Dominator 2133 C9 8x8GB
Both setups lets me play PUBG in 4K 120% Screen Scale, Max AA & Draw Distance with ther rest on medium powered by 2080 Ti's and hit 110-120fps, stays at 120fps 90% of the time. I'm good as it is, but I'm tempted to get a 9700k, Rampage XI Gene and 2xGB sticks of 4800 G.Skill Royal to see if there's a lot to go gain but I'm in not immediate rush and can wait to see what Zen2 offers.

Good to see I'm not the only one here using a Xeon, albeit for different reasons.

Still rocking the 2700K.

Main desktop (my gaming PC): Xeon E3-1231 v3
Personal laptop: i5-4258U
Work laptop: i7-8750H

[Boon72]

Intel i5-8500, purchased just before the big cost increase :-)

[LSG501]

i7 4790k... currently working out how quickly I save for an amd chip (ryzen 3 ideally), ram etc because the amount of 'flaws' in intel cpu's and the amount of lost performance are getting 'excessive' now...

[Fingers66]

Main rig: i5 8400, does everything I need it to do.
Gaming rig: i5 6600K @ stock, does everything I need it to do.

Threadripper 1920X @3900Mhz 1.3coreV 32G-Samsung DDR4

[coljonsquall1]

Currently using an AMD FX 8320, probably upgrading to a Threadripper next.

[tonkei]

Q6600, stock.
No idea if it's coping, as a win 10 update has left it in an unrecoverable boot-loop for months.
But I've got an SSD for a clean install of the hopefully less junky OS.

[iVoka]

i5-3570K. Used to do a lot of gaming but less so recently. Don't need upgrades for the time being.
