[PConline talk] "Capitalize" has become a popular word for this year's literary taste. It means the emphasis on meaning. It is generally used for ignorance. For example, Xiao Bian used it when chatting and praising a design department's sister at leisure. "Capitalize bold beauty." Oh, back to today's theme, although IT products, especially DIY hardware, are one of the fastest depreciation products, after all, the value of use value is far higher than the value of the product itself, but due to system performance excess, competition scales heavily tilted, etc. The reason has caused a strange phenomenon in recent years.
That is, the high-end CPU has brought a hedging BUFF. In recent years, the price has been extremely stable, and it has refreshed our values ​​for DIY hardware. Well, when the times are making heroes, let's take a look at some of the CPUs that have a strong price and high value.
CPU Model: Core i7-2600K
Time to market: Reason for 2011: Three years and another three years?
Current price: 1380 yuan
"Three years later, three years later and three years, three years later and three years, almost ten years."
Core i7-2600K
This classic line, used in the historical position of Core i7-2600K, does not seem to have any sense of violation. Core i7-2600K, as the high-end product of the Sandy Bridge era in 2011, has brought a number of highlights to bring epoch-making performance changes. Just 2011 was the year when AMD bulldozers were released, and it was also the beginning of the decline of the high-end CPU market. With this shift, the Core i7-2600K was no match for the high-end market at the time.
Current Price: 1380 yuan / piece
Perhaps it was not thought that the impact of the Core i7-2600K was so far-reaching. It was the CPU that brought the next generation of performance changes to the last generation of Intel's toothpaste strategy. Since then, Intel's high-end CPU has entered the era of tinkering with another year. So, whenever the new generation of Core i7 release evaluation, users will always lament that my home Core i7-2600K can fight another three years and three years.
No pressure for N years?
Under the guidance of public opinion, the price of the Core i7-2600K remained strong for five years. Core i7-2600K's five-year price change is a microcosm of the five-year CPU market competition.
CPU Model: Core i7-3770K
Time to market: List reason for 2012: The originator of toothpaste is currently available Price: 1720 yuan
Core i7-3770K
Reference price: 1720 yuan / piece
The epoch-making i7-2600K brings an earth-shaking change in today's eyes. People naturally expect the power of Intel's high-end CPU Ivy Bridge in 2012. As the hope is that the bigger the disappointment is, the Core i7-3770K handed over an answer that made the demanding DIY player very dissatisfied: squeeze toothpaste. Less than 10% performance improvement, this result let us disappointment, perhaps this is "Tick" 22nm process brought about 77W TDP and other advances, so it can only be considered pass.
Three generations of Core i7 first CPU specifications
The Core i7-3770K is more like a 2600K energy-saving and low-cost improvement version. In addition to the lack of competition, the Core i7-3770K is more popular in the high-end market at that time. At that time, our wishful thinking was that Tock's 4770K would be able to reproduce the glory of the 2600K, but unfortunately it turned out to be counterproductive. Similarly, less than 10% increase, plus the change of slots, makes Core i7-3770K, which can achieve seamless upgrade, a very strong price. Until 2016, its price basically caught up with 4770K. Obviously, not only the 2600K stick was accepted, but also because it can support the upgrade of the old platform of the two generations of LGA1155. Naturally there is a demand.
CPU Model: Core i5-3570K
Time to market: Reason for 2012: Can you get a share with K?
Current price: 1080 yuan/disc
Core i5-3570K
Big brother is strong, and the younger brother is also arrogant. He is talking about the Core i5-3570K. Perhaps the control of the business, perhaps the last generation of the LGA 1155 for the third-generation Core, perhaps the scarcity and high popularity of the K-series CPU that is freely overclockable. In the next three or four years, the price of the Core i5-3570K is still firm at thousands. Above, the price drop is not obvious.
Reference price: 1080 yuan / piece
Taking into account the second, third and fourth generation architecture of the CPU part is not obvious, plus the third generation of the most powerful Core i5, 3570K specifications are not outdated today: 3.4GHz, the maximum core frequency of 3.8GHz, the core number of four core, 6MB three-level cache, using 22-nanometer manufacturing process, the highest TDP is 77W. Undoubtedly, in addition to the specifications, these few generations of the lowest 77W TDP have a great addition, so that the Core i5-3570K has been in the hearts of many old platform users, especially the overclocked DIY players wish list.
CPU Model: Xeon E3-1230 v1
Time to market: Reason for 2011: follow me, left hand, right hand, E3 God is good!
Current price: 1090 yuan
Xeon E3-1230 v1
Core i7-2600K too expensive? Thousand dollars in the beginning of E3 God to rescue! Core i5 without faith? E3 gods forced high! Want performance and price? E3 gods jump! The rhetoric of exaggeration just shows the status of Xeon E3 series CPU in the hearts of DIY players.
Current price: 1090 yuan
As the first ambassador of E3, the Xeon E3-1230 v1 of the Sandy Bridge architecture launched in 2011 demonstrated the perfect Tianji horse racing with the performance of the Core i7 and an unbeatable price/performance ratio, plus the faithful recharge of the Xeon CPU. The hot Xeon E3-1230 v1 became a matter of course. Like the Core i7-2600K, the Neon E3-1230 v1's performance has never been outdated. Naturally, its price has been strong. E3 gods are good!
CPU Model: Xeon E3-1230 v2
Time to market: Reason for 2012: right-handed, left-handed, slow-motion, good E3 religion!
Current price: 1183 yuan
Xeon E3-1230 v2
As the second leader of the E3 religion, the Xeon E3-1230 v2 based on the Ivy Bridge architecture inherited the spirit and glory of the E3 religion, and carried forward. The frequency increases more than 100MHz from v1, but it also reduces the TDP to 69W! It is the lowest quad-core, eight-thread CPU of the E3 Prophet and even all Core i7 CPUs. Although TDP does not determine the final actual power consumption, the theoretical value alone can bring a first-class feeling!
Current reference price: 1183 yuan
As the last LGA 1155 product of E3 Prophet, with the out-of-print version of the Xeon E3-1230 v2 of the BUFF, it was a rare opportunity to settle home on the old board of the H61 generation. It further brought a hedging effect, which makes the current price of the Xeon E3-1230 v2 still not low. No way, E3 God, who does not love? E3 gods are good!
CPU Model: Xeon E3-1230 v3/v5
Listing time: 2013/2015 list reasons: slow-motion replay, E3 gods are good!
Current price: 1376/1650 yuan
Xeon E3-1230 v3
Current reference price: 1376 yuan
Intel does not want E3 to invade the desktop CPU market. How else will the Core i7 and i5 live? In particular, how to live ordinary products with non-K suffixes? So think that manipulated the pit parameters of the Xeon E3-1230 v3: frequency and v2 unchanged, TDP jumped to 80W, giving a feeling of no return. However, the Xeon E3-1230 v3 is not a force, and the 4770K is even less powerful. Under the obvious price difference, the Xeon E3-1230 v3 still sells!
Comparison of v1, v2, v3, v5 specifications
Although Haswell began to make a fortune today, due to lack of competition, the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has not seen any significant price cuts, and even has seen a partial upward trend in the market. No way, who told Intel to squeeze their toothpaste into their feet, and finally let our consumers wipe clean Intel.
Xeon E3-1230 v5
Reference Price: 1650 yuan, compared to six generations of Core Duo, this price has been considered "conscience"
By the time of Skylake's Xeon E3-1230 v5, Intel wouldn’t stay out of the box, simply limiting motherboard support to the server board. However, smart motherboard makers will not give up any opportunity to serve DIY players. Regardless of the motherboard's blockade and breakthrough in overclocking restrictions, the Xeon E3-1230 v5 will follow Skylake's big-time flow to become the field of DIY and overclocking. In addition to the mystical bonus of E3 God, so needless to say, E3 is good!
CPU Model: Core i7-6700K
Time to market: List reason for 2015: Long-term hedging guaranteed by Intel's current price: SKU 2098 yuan
Core i7-6700K
As the tilt competition of high-end CPUs developed into the fifth year, Intel reluctantly launched the Skylake family to respond to questions from shareholders, markets, and consumers. In fact, after seeing the price of the Core i7-6700K conversely, we suddenly felt that we couldn't make it better! Once the price of 3,000 yuan was exceeded, the value and highlights of LGA 2011 were given to the motherboard chipset and GPU, and the CPU became a green leaf, leaving CPU players disappointed.
The current bulk reference price: 2098 yuan
I believe that even more disappointing is that the fate of the Core i7-6700K was given to AMD's Zen architecture. If AMD's "savior" Zen architecture can not be saved, then the N-generation Intel high-end CPU is more valuable than the collectibles, it is simply too good-looking.
PConline concludes:
The long-term improvement in performance, coupled with the lack of competition in the high-end sector, has resulted in either a collective price cut (think not possible) or an insured collective price. The latter is what the capitalists want to see. Get maximum profit.
Sorry, it is time for AMD high-end CPU
Although we feel that the CPU in our hands is very valuable, we will be fighting N years again. But this is all within the capitalists' mind, and it is not the wishful thinking of a monopolist. Once you have more follow-up requirements for replacing high-end CPUs, I'm sorry, our consumers will lose out sooner or later. So, we still hope that competitive scales can be leveled!
