I7 5820k or a Xeon equivalent

[Marcus Torre DeProspero]

Are there any Xeon processors that are equivalent in performance to the I7 5820k? I am looking to build my cousin a computer because his birthday is coming up and I have extra money lying around I have every part or picked out but he isn't going to be doing too much gaming. By that I mean he is going to be playing some high end games but not all the time. He mostly does content creation and recently got into 3D modeling.

Not really. The 5820K is very good value for what it is. There's the 1231v3 that's a good alternative to the 4790, but not much to compete with 2011-3 CPUs. (At least, not the 5820K. There's probably better options than the 5960X)

Xeon E5-1650 V3

Xeon E5-1650 V3 

that's the i7-5930k , there is no i7-5820k xeon cpu

[Oshino Shinobu]

Xeon E5-1650 V3 

It's a good $200+ more than the 5820K. Other than ECC support, there's not much to put it above the 5820K.

40 lanes of pci-e, it's the i7-5930k

No, simply because the 5820k has a relatively high clock speed and can be overclocked.

actually the only cheaper 8 core is 600$ but it doesn't have HT and is clocked very low.

Yeah, at that point, you're getting into "proper" Xeons that don't handle single threaded applications too well. Designed for constant, heavily threaded workloads.

There is no Xeon equivalent to the 5820K. Closest ones are the 1620 v3 and 1630 v3, but they're quad cores, with less cache.

Xeon E5 1650 v3 is a 5930K, but with a higher turbo boost, and Xeon E5 1660 v3 is a 5960X

what's with the msi link?

[GarnetDevil]

I don't think there is any Xeon's equivalent of the 5820K, that i7 has higher P/P ratio than the 5930K so it is popular among those with non-expensive X99 rigs

 

It's a good choice

why is an AMD motherboard posted in an I7 and Xeon talk

just get the i7 5820k as there is no Xeon equivalent unfortunately.

you know those mentions don't work if you have a url tag?
