THe question is in the title, it doesn't make sense.  Unless the 6700k is better for some reason that I'm not aware of.

I can help with programming and hardware.

It's newer. It's in higher demand. I got my 5820k for $299 in March  :)

Nothing is based on what the actual product is worth, if that was the case a $1000 PC would cost $300 to build.

It's newer, and subsequently in higher demand.

It's cheaper in my area, but the Z170 chipset does have many benefits over X99.

Mainly price for Mobos any good X99 board will run $230+ vs $130+.

5820K is Haswell E. 6700K is straight up Skylake.

 

One was released in August 2014 and one in August 2015.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Also, that is Sandy bridge—E. I'm sure Skylake-E will cost more than the 6700k does too.

I need to sell my 3930k and ROG board and get a skylake just for less power consumption. I dont need the extra cores xD

Since when single thread performance matter ? everything is multithreaded.

No, lol

Very few programs are multithreaded

about 99.99% of all games and programs in existence use 4 threads or less

 

The only things that can use more than 4 threads are

1) servers/virtual machines

2) rendering programs (video rendering, model rendering, fluid rendering, etc)

3) recent high end games (past decade or so)

4) benchmarks

5) miscellaneous stuff like an antivirus or google chrome or whatever

 

My point is that most of what you use on a daily basis uses 4 cores or less, and a CPU with higher core performance will perform better in any programs that uses 4 threads or less compared to a 5820k of the older ivy bridge generation
