it'll last until you turn caps lock off.

we dont know what you're doing with it, how those things will change in the future, and where your limit of "minimum performance" is.

1) get rid of the caps

2) it's impossible to know

3) buy what you need right now, don't overspend, and when the time to upgrade comes you'll be prepared.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

An eternity.

Until you say what are you going to use it for, we can't give you a proper answer.

And turn that caps lock off.

An i7 2600k still kicks ass and it's from 2011. There won't be any sudden breakthroughs so you can expect at least 4 years. :P

so... i have a 20 year old cpu that still works. so technically it has lasted 20 years.

and even if it dies, i can still use it as a paperweight, so it'll still "last" in some way.

 

get my point here?

I AM CHOOSING 6700K OVER 4790K BECAUSE DDR4 WILL SOON BE SOON BE MAINSTRAM AND I THINK IT IS BETTER ON IT PRICE PER PERFORMANCE RATIO

I'm still rocking my i7 875k... So I'd say at the very least 5 years. Unless something drastically change in the next few years. Which would be surprising considering its been stagnant for years now. (thanks to AMD for not having anything worth competing against for Intel)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro

The 4790Kis significantly better price to performance, DDR3 will be around for years. But the 6700k is better.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

That's the point where I should stop taking your seriously, but I'd still answer.

For gaming it 99% depends on what GPU are you going to get.

For video editing and streaming it will "last" a long time since it's a pretty capable chip, but investing into a LGA2011 platform seems like a better idea to me.

0.3 to 0.4 is not a lot. 

 

My i5-2500 is 4.5 years old now (give or take a few days, I bought it around mid april 2011) and is running a 0.5 GHz overclock.  It's still more than capable today and I see no reason why I wouldn't be able to use it for at least another year or two. 

I'd say any decent i5 or i7 CPU should suffice for at least 5 years after its initial release date.

 

Considering that CPUs really aren't getting that much more powerful anymore lately, the 6700k will last a loooong time ... unless there's a radical breakthrough anytime soon.  You never know.
