Hey guys,
I'm looking at making the upgrade to Coffee Lake, as I'll essentially be jumping 4 generations. Reason being, I'd like to get better performance on CPU heavy tasks (such as chunk generation (NOT LOADING) in minecraft).
Now, minecraft generally uses 1-2 cores, so I'm mainly interested in single core performance. I was looking at the i3 8350k as it overclocks to a minimum of 4.5 GHz easily from what I've seen. A significant majority seem to hit 4.7-4.8, and a somewhat rare few have hit 5 GHz or slightly higher.
I've currently got an i5 4460. I do a fair amount of programming during university semesters, though the majority of my PC's workload is either heavy browsing or gaming. My GPU is a GTX 1070, so I have no issues there, and I have a Samsung 850 EVO for storage, so no issues there either. Almost everything important on this build is recent, except for my CPU.
So feel free to make some recommendations. Prices should be listed in AUD, and of course making the upgrade to Coffee Lake or Ryzen will require a new mobo, CPU, and DDR4 RAM. 16GB is required.
Cheers,
Luke
