Jankstation CPU confusion (E5-1660-v3 vs E5-1660-v4)

[amadii]

The Lenovo P500 supports both the E5-1660-v3 and the E5-1660-v4, the E5-1660-v3 is overclockable however the E5-1660-v4 has slightly higher base clocks and runs on a much smaller lithography (14 nm compared to the E5-1660-v3's 22 nm) which I heard can help reduce power draw and heat generated (which I figured may decrease throttling), both are 8 cores and have the same TDP, so theoretically, which CPU would be most ideal for a Gaming/Developing system?

The v4 is a better chip across the board.

Unless you're doing it for fun, don't worry too much about oc on this setup
