5960x vs 6700k

[Bajantechnician]

What should I get between a 6700k and a 6700k

I have dual 390x cards. 

 

Thanks

5960X is double the performance ._.

not in gaming...

it has lower clock speed, worse core performance, worse overclocking, more heat, and more power consumption
of course there are a couple games that can use more than 8 threads, but thats less than 0.01% of games that exist

Between the 6700k and the 6700k I would choose the 6700k.

 

If you meant the 5960x, it is the big daddy of Intel consumer processors and it's price reflects it.

 

Truthfully unless you're doing things that require the 5960x's power, then it's not wise to spend the extra money on it.

[branden_lucero]

a fairer comparison is the 5820k vs 6700k, due to how little performance gains (or loss) you'd get in gaming for a processor that costs 3x as much.

u better take care of senpai 6700k or i will com to ur hoouse and smash your fucking face

tell it bed time storys too

feed it

do everything to it

its...senpai

Not sure if I should sell my 5960x and mono and move to skylake

i already have it.

how about waiting for broadwell-e so that you can just swap CPUs and keep your motherboard

If you have the 5960x why in god's name would you even consider a 6700k?

if you have it, keep it... more is always better

honestly, it would be a waste of money with performance loss

You're asking if Intel's fastest consumer CPU ever (16 threads!) is as fast as the new 4-core Skylake CPU.

 

Answer: yes, yes it is faster. But if you want to sell your 5960X and get some cash for it, the 5820k would be a better choice, since you would be able to keep your motherboard. Also, the 5820k is better than the 6700k in general.

Need to rma mobo

Newer architecture with nothing newer to offer.

is that a reason to switch cpus?!? I guess you'll get a new mobo for free

Oh. Ouch.

Okay: Idea!

RMA your motherboard. I recommend waiting for it to come back. If you don't use the AWESOME POWER of your 5960x, then sell it and buy a 5820k. Later, there's Broadwell-E and Skylake-E CPU's coming out on the X99 platform. So, you'd already be ready to upgrade to new i7's later.

Ah. Maybe sell my 5960x for a 6900k

alright.

 

I don't use the FULL power of the 5960x. I use it for daily computing and school + gaming

Yeah. I think it would be a better idea to keep your X99 platform, just switch the CPU for something cheaper.

Where'd you hear that Skylake-E was coming to X99?

  The internet. Google broadwell-e

Oh, that was old rumors.. It's Broadwell-E that's official.

Damn, I was gonna say how have I not heard this yet.

6700K offers nothing over the 5960X.

What ever Skylake brings, Haswell-E already has it.

Both supports nvme, sata express, and m.2

Skylake's chipset has been updated to run at gen 3, while x99 is still stuck at gen 2. But on the x99 the cpu itself handles majority of the lanes and it runs at gen 3 too. The chipset just handles stuffs that don't need gen 3, like sata ports or ethernet. A 5960X has more pcie lanes than 6700K+Z170 combined. 40 gen 3 lanes in a 5960X vs 36 gen 3 lanes in 6700K+Z170.
