Posted February 2, 2016 I am currently building a new computer geared strictly for photography. I need to know on the X99 Chipset which CPU is better for the price per performance. The I7-5820k is MSRP 384.00 usd while the intel Xeon e5-1620 V3 priced at 300.98 USD MSRP.. Any advice on the trade off of each of a pro vs con would be appreciated. articles, links, personal experiences etc etc. Our budget is 1500 to 1700. I am trying not to break the bank of going above that on the desktop only. Link to the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rCxkFT if there are any suggestions on which Quad kit channel with decent looking heat spreaders and computer cases could be suggested that would be great as well.

Posted February 2, 2016 i7 has more cache, slower base clock speed, less PCIe lanes, no vPro support, no ECC memory support but can be overclocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 2, 2016 If you overclock the i7 is a lot better, if you don't oc the xeon is cheaper. Most 5820k can be overclocked between 4.2-4.6 Ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
