Hello I intend to buy a custom made computer with the GeForce GTX 570 for doing scientific computing with CUDA. Since I intend to run medium/heavy duty CUDA applications on it, can you recommend a good processor in the
i5 series.
What do you think of the following CPU’s (especially the flop throughput and sturdiness ) which seem to be fitting my budget well.
Intel Core i5 650 3.2GHz (Dual Core) 4000K
Intel Core i5-2300 Sandy Bridge 2.8GHz Quad Core 6000K
I intend to use 8 GB RAM for both.
