i7 5820K vs 5930K differences?

[pinksnowmanshandle]

So besides the 5820K having less PCIe lanes and a lower base clock is there any major performance differences between them? Or would simply overclocking make the 5820K come out about the same in something like Passmark. I wonder because on Passmark's website it shows the 5820K preforming quite a bit worse than the 5930K (Almost a whole 1,000 points worth. (752 to be exact)). https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2336&cmp[]=2340

 

So, would simply overclocking the 5820K make it on par with the 5930K or is there something else that one has that the other has not (besides the aformentioned?)

the pci-e lanes is the only diffrence basicly.

 

For the rest they are totaly identical.

I dont see any reason why you should choose for the 5930k over the 5820k to be honnest.

Unless you realy need those extra 12 lanes.

more pcie lanes, get a 5820k unless your going to have 4 way SLI

[Suffokation]

The 5820K has 28 lanes.

And the 5930K has 40 supported PCE-I lanes.

Unless you need lots of Sata E and lots of Graphics Carrds, the 5820K is a more economical purchase.

Okay so really, overclocking the 5820K will make it preform the same as or better than the 5930K then.

Same architecture, same cores.

indeed overclocking is easy, 5820k should be capable of hitting 4.2 ghz without any issues.
