How many cores power your primary machine?

[abysal]

(4 core) 4790K @ 4.2GHz on my main machine.
(6 core) 1090T @ 3.2GHz for ESXi box, soon to be upgraded to a (4 core) Xeon 1230 v2 @ 3.3Ghz.

I kind of wanted to go with a 5930k (6 core) for the 40 PCIe lanes it provides, but it was a bit out of my budget.

Just building a new rig, going from AMD Phenom ii X6 1045T 2.7GHz (hex-core) to the Intel i5-4690K (quad-core).

LOOKING FORWARD TO 'DA POWAH'!

I7(4 core)4790K@4.6GHz on this machine.
Building 8 core I7 5960X Haswell-E3 will be water cooled and over clocked as much as possible.

Mine has been bumped from 2 to 4 now.

I went from a c2d e6400 to that 4690K.

Well my laptop is i7 so thats 4 cores there, my new main desktop I build this week is now a 8 core (fx-8320) and the workstation I am building atm is going to be 16 core ( dual Opteron 4284). The funny thing is the workstation will prob just take over as my main computer since the 16 cores is overkill for what I needed.

I'm sure you know what you have, but there are 2 core i7's in the mobile lineup.

I spend at least 20 min every day explaining why "this" particular i7 is nothing more then a glorified i5 on one of the laptops we carry. I had a dual core i7 620m a few years ago but that was gen one and the 620m and 640m could actually out perform some of there quad core counterparts back then . Anyways the new system is a 4700mq so 4 glorious cores with 8 threads running total got her undervolted and turbo clocked up.
