Rendering and gaming CPU upgrade

[Francesco94]

Hello, I need your opinion guys, I have an i7 920 @4 Ghz, I need to upgrade, because the poor fella (or the mobo, Asus P6T SE) is dying, the overclock, once stable, is shaky and doesn't pass a prime stress test anymore

So, now it's time to upgrade, do you guys think i should get a Haswell / Devil's Canyon CPU or wait a bit, save a little more and upgrade to Haswell-e? I have a Youtube gaming channel, I produce one video per day, so i need the extra juice for the rendering part, but I also don't have that many money to spend in the near future...

So, I want to hear your opinions, should I wait for the money or should I buy a cheaper Haswell now?

Thank you

You should save up money to wait for Broadwell.

4690k or 4790k

 

Or wait for Broadwell

Is Broadwell gonna have a 6 core CPU in the line-up? The extra cores would save a lot of time...

Or do you think the ipc will be so much higher that even a 4 core would beat a 6 core Haswell-e?

the 5820k (think thats the name) is rumoured to be 6 core

only quad cores for the broadwell

 

the 5930K will be much more powerful than the Broadwell and the current 4790K

I know, that's why i was thinking of waiting for Haswell-e..

Great, but I think i'll go for the 5820k, I don't think the 5930k is worth the extra 200 for some very minor performance improvement and some more PCI-e lanes that i won't use as I'm on a single GPU..

if it happens that the 5820K turns out to be a quad core like the 4820K

 

the 200 dollars for the extra 2 cores and 4 treads will help with CPU rendering

That would be infuriating, crushing all the plans I made with Haswell-e

If that's the case i would go for the 5930k of course, but i'd have to wait a loooong time
