It doesn't get much love, but I fail to understand why. I am a bit biased since my first real computer was a tiny ThinkCentre that I put a 45-watt Xeon in.>22nm node w/microarchitecture revision (tock)>AVX2 support>extremely good value for money in used computers a few years ago, though admittedly 8th/9th gen have taken its place now
>but I fail to understand whybecause most people don't form strong opinions about specific generations of cpussome might be remembered fondly if they were noticably better than predecessors for a good price
surely there's a better thing to obsess over than a 12 year old cpu
>>108559288The price per performance isn't that good. The high end Haswells are pretty expensive and you can get newer better CPUs for that price
>>108559288how about i tell you to fuck off and stop making retard faggot low quality bait threads instead
haswell was so fucking hot during avx2 loads, my cheap ass tower couldn't handle cooling it properly back thenthe performance was good though
>>108559288who is telling you not to like it? the voices in your head?
its good with floating point numbers and i do not know what is floating point numbers
>>108559288Uhh, any post-2009 CPU is capable of insane things if the programs are written well. You should love them all.
>>108559288Haswell ran so hot, Krauts called it Heizwell. Otherwise, it was fine. If you had mainstream desktop Haswell, there wasn't much incentive to upgrade until Coffee Lake, when Intel finally started offering moar coars.
>>108562795not all of them
>>108559288I thought this was a Haskell thread desu
>>108559288Owner of 3 Xeon E5 CPUs. It's Haswell. Once insanely expensive, now as cheap as scrap metal. Cold, reliable, will crunch ones and zeroes for 10 or 20 more years easy. Got hundreds of gigs of DDR4 ECC memory back when it was cheapest in history.MB is your only problem. They will die, they will never be reliable. PSUs are the same, but easy to replace. Unlike MBs for old CPUs.
