Its hard to tell which bits of my performance improvements are due to what, but everything seems faster (other than initial bootup) by quite some margin in comparison to my old i5. Apparently hit 600FPS in a loading screen in Arma3, although not sure how useful FPS is in a loading screen . When I get some free time, I'll be looking to do some overclocking, since a lot of gaming loads do better with fast cores as opposed to more cores. From what reading I've done regarding this CPU, I should probably be able to hit 4GHz fairly easily, with some chips having clocked up to 4.8GHz (although I imagine that would need a more elaborate cooling setup than I have.)

I upgraded my desktop with an EVGA GeForce 760GTX Superclocked 2GB end of last year. Also I added a 256GB SSD and switched from 8 to 16 GB RAM. I decided to make an clean install with the new SSD so I'm now dual booting with Windows 8.1 Pro N and Chakra Linux.

And I just baught a MacBook Pro 15.4" with an i7 2.5 GHz, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, and GeForce GT 750M 2GB.

I just purchased a low-end gaming laptop for travel and general laziness around the house in places that aren't my bedroom. It actually runs demanding applications like the Dolphin Emulator exceptionally well, so I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can throw at it.

Extremely, lol, a 940m is definitely better integrated but still bad, lol.

Vive? That's that virtual reality thing. I first heard of it today when I read about it on BBC News this morning.
