QuincyOwusu-Abeyie Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Is there a benefit for FM specifically in running with an i7 processor over an i5? Especially in regards to hyper threading and increased processing speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yes but only when processing full detail match data which has been discussed in yugo23's benchmark thread - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/421603-Football-Manager-15-Benchmark-Thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 For me it does as I use the full match engine for all competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuincyOwusu-Abeyie Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 For me it does as I use the full match engine for all competitions. Ok, I saw your benchmarks in the thread, how many leagues and players do you run in your game and how roughly does an end of season or matchday processing last (to me these are the two longest processing 'times' in game) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECAP Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 well, no, HT is splitting 4 real cores into 8, when you have more tasks running you have more options for dedication of tasks across more cpus, when you pull 100% load they are still 4 cores. i5-4670 is same speed as I7-4770 non K(except for +0,1Ghz on turbo), what really gives a bit of edge is more cache 8Mb vs. 6Mb, but it's not worth the price you pay(this is FM only, other applications is another story) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N^G Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Is there a benefit for FM specifically in running with an i7 processor over an i5? Especially in regards to hyper threading and increased processing speed. Not really, last time I checked (it was either Fm2015 or 2014) - if I remember correctly FM barely used any Ram, and only about 14% at most of my quad core i7's abilities.

Guest Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 As I & others have shown there is a benefit to having a high end/extreme family cpu, they allow the user to get more realism out of FM through the use of more detailed match processing.

Xavessi Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There has been threads with detailed benchmarking for previous versions and the i7 is a fair bit faster. Personally, I found a top end i7 to be somewhere around 25-35% quicker than an i5 for fm. If you are on a budget, I would recommend the i5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It might be actually more interesting to see the difference between an i5 and i7 versus the difference between a hard drive and a solid state drive. I would say you would be better spending your money on a SSD if you don't already use one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavessi Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Loading the game up and saving is faster with an SSD. It won't make much difference during gameplay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't think that is right tbh, FM is always using the hard drive, maybe someone from SI can comment on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
