Alpha v7.1 hotfix released

[arcvs]

Thanks for clarification.

Yeah, I understand that i7's are faster but they also cost a lot more, so it's fine. You get what you pay for :>

You can clock an i5 to 4.5gHz quite happily, which makes it faster than a stock i7, although you lose hyperthreading. It is considerably cheaper, for those on a budget.

Not really true. Check the Cinebench part of the table. Even OC'd @ 4.6ghz, the most expensive i5 is still considerably slower then stock i7 from the same line.

We have one i5 2500K machine here in the office, clocked at 4.4Ghz, and it is still slower for about a minute and a half then its big brother i7 2600k @ stock frequencies - in a 6 min render in Corona. Similar differences are carried over to the new generations with even bigger difference gap.

I stand corrected! However, you are still getting more bang for your buck with an overclocked i5. I have an i5 and an i7, and in use, they feel pretty much the same. The i7 feels marginally quicker.

Those are the test environment results. In daily usage, you would probably see some marginal differences, depending on the task. Of course, if you render a scene that takes an hour on i7, 70-75min on i5 wouldn't feel that much of a problem.

But yeah, i5 works great for the money! Not to mention that i5 with 4/4 cores > AMD with 8 cores as well 3:)

XP64bit are missing some functions I would have to write on my own, and its market share is about 0.4%. Microsoft is also ending its support next year... so it does not make much sense to support them.
