CPU Clockspeed

[Tritorius]

Hey Com,

 

So Today i thought about building a new Computer for several use. I would like to use it for Gaming, Streaming and video editing.

At the moment I'm at the total start of planning but i thought a lot about the CPU. 

 

So my question is: Is there any recommended clock speed for gaming? I thought about the i7-6700k, an intel xeon e5-2623 v4 or an xeon e5-2620 v4.

The difference between the two xeons is the clock speed and the amount of cores. The 2623 got 2,6 Ghz(HT 3,2), 4 Cores. The 2620 got 2,1 Ghz(HT 3,0), 8 cores.

Is more clockspeed better or would more cores for a little less clock speed be more efficient?

 

Thanks for reading and answering

Sorry for my bad English

There are few games that benefit much from more than 4 cores. Higher clockspeed is preferred for gaming if you already have 4 or more cores.

Xeons cost way more.

 

Core clock speed doesn't matter after a certain point.

 

You want 4 cores preferably at 3.5GHz or so.

 

After that clockspeed doesn't matter.

Cores matter more at that point.
