6700k vs 5820k

[Brace]

I just want to know which is better in general with both editing/rendering and gaming. I know most people say the 5820k is better but is that always gonna be true and is there something new that may be something to wait for. Any imput is greatly appreciated.

Oh boy.

 

Linus has a video on this. The 5820K is better.

[GER_T4IGA]

5820k

Only category the 6700k would be virctorious in: heat output is lower on the skylake chips.

[Atmos]

The 5820k is all around a better cpu.

[BobyTheDragon]

guess what?

 

5820k FTW

 

The 5820k is better all round 

[Brace]

5820k

Only category the 6700k would be victorious in: heat output is lower on the skylake chips.

So even as the skylake becomes more stable the 5820k will still be better?

[JebKerman]

5820K is more powerful, 6700K is better value (for gaming at least, the gap widens with more CPU intensive tasks)

[Clear17Mud]

OK this question gets posted 2 times everyday minimum.. The answer is always

The 5820k.

[Brace]

5820K is more powerful, 6700K is better value

But the 5820k is cheaper

5820K is more powerful, 6700K is better value

Not really, the 5820k is only like 10-30$ more expensive and you get 4 more logical cores as well as quad channel memory support, more pcie lanes, etc.

[JebKerman]

But the 5820k is cheaper  

It shouldn't be. US pricing of Skylake appaears to be a bit screwed up. Here's Australia for example:

5820K: 580AUD

6700K: 520AUD

 

not sure how the motherboards are done as well, but, another example using the MSI Kriat edition motherboards:

X99: 400AUD

Z170: 270 AUD

[azorahai]

Highly subjective.

1. Only 1 directx 12 game uses more than 4 cores.

2. Intel has confirmed that Thunderbolt 3 is exclusive to the Z170. This renders the x99 as "the past".

[BLCT]

Think about it this way, Do you want a Hexacore or a OCTACORE ?

In US-

6700k is around 410$ and 5820k is around 370$

[The Official Czex]

The 6700K is better for gaming (usually), but the 5820K smokes it in everything else.

[DarkSmith2]

Wait for Broadwell-E

er... its 4 core vs 6 core both with hyperthreading

[BLCT]

oh shit i ment QUAD CORE OR HEXACORE

[azorahai]

Do you ever want Thunderbolt 3? If so go for z170 as Intel is not bringing it to x99

[Brace]

Wait for Broadwell-E

What's that?

What is that?

[azorahai]

What's that?

A future flop

[azorahai]

The future

5820k

Only category the 6700k would be virctorious in: heat output is lower on the skylake chips.

And single core performance. And newness.

[grayperview]

6700k isn't good value for money at the moment, i would either wait for a significant price drop or get either a 5820k or 4790k, both are better value for money.
