What is the point of buying a new cpu? I73770k-i76700k

[Bective]

Hi ive had a I7 3770k oc to 4.2 for years now, and i am just now looking at some of the newer cpus, they seem to all be the same as 5 years ago, ie nothing going over 4.2

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3770K

even http://www.pcgamer.com/intel-kaby-lake-core-i7-7700k-cpu-specs-leaked/

so really whats the point of getting one of these? unless i could just slap on a 5-6 oc on it

I have a 4790K @ 4.6 stable @ 1.35v

I'm currently testing 4.6 @ 1.25v

 

EDIT:

If you went 6700K, you have the benifit of DDR4 ram. BUT, that means you'd need different ram, different mobo.

The ipcc is better tho

So still better performance 

Not really worth it for gaming tho

hmm what would be the point if i wasent overclocking then say if i had a i7 3700 vs the new i7 6700

You don't get new cpus for higher clocks,you the them for higher ipc the, average max over clock has actually gone down since the 3770K, newer CPU's also have support for extra features such as ddr4 and M.2.

I would recommend an upgrade if you have the money and want better performance. This is because your old CPU is pretty old if you have been using it for 5 years. And the i7 6700K can be overclocked further.

Not really off topic... You asked the point of it. The point is, DDR4 & higher IPC. You can also get a much better OC from the 6700K.

 

and no. I would not use DDR3 with the 6000's. That's one of the main reasons you use 6000 for DDR4.
