Not to complicate things for gaming, it would go roughly so (i know there are margins +- 5 to 10% depends on game etc.):

 

1. i7 6700K =  i7 4790K = 4770k

2. i5 6600K = i5 4690K = 4670k

3. any other 3xxx , 4xxx and 6xxx i5 , AMD 8370, 8350, 8320,

4. AMD 81xx, i7 2600k, i5 2500k

5. i3

6. Pentium G3258

in regards to your list, how would an i5 4570 scale for gaming / other tasks?

Ok I'll actually reply to this. Finally someone competent. Thank you so much, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Specific situations call for specific CPUs. That's why it's arbitrary to make a list of CPUs because each situation (whether for gaming or work) is different. In short, there's no top ten.

 

Exactly.

 

Thats the whole point, there basicly is no top10.

Because for every choice i would make in a top10, there will be others who would argue about my choices.

In terms of bang for buck or whatever arguable reason.

Thats why i simply gave 2 options above that are currently the best chips for gaming and workstation.

You could also add the 6950X to the list of gaming + productivity workloads.

But again thats not what he specificly asked for.

So again his question simply lacks on additional information.

Workstation needs can be a wide veriaty of things realy.

 

For gaming its not that hard to make a list.

But workstation is, and thats my main point without additional information.

This thread is a fail, no one can make a simple list! I give up. I guess time to try different forum.

For (pro)consumers:

i7-6950k

i7-6900k

i7-6800k

i7-6700k

i5-6600k

i5-6500 (6400)

i5-4460

i3-6100 (4170)

X4 860k

X4 845

 

Honorable mentions:

 

FX-8320E (overclocked)

FX-6300

The majority of the Haswell lineup

It really depends on the use though.

the i5 4570 would rank between 2nd and 3rd place you could say. A very good gaming CPU, it can still handle any GPU out there no worries.

Cough the g3258 beats any current i3 when overclocked to 4.6ghz.

And yet, it strictly has two cores and threads. In which quite a few games won't like, causing unpleasant microstutter.

i have it and its very good, mine is 4.5 at 1.2v could do even more. Its paired with an gtx 680.

This is my guest friend PC, its nice at 1080p, but at games like Black Desert (MMORPG) and other CPU intensive scenario game it hickups very bad droping fps from near i7 levels to very low levels and back up... 

 

I admit the G3258 is a very good budget CPU but if you play racing games and other none intensive games is OK, with mmorpg's like you will lose your mind...

Yeah those dual cores dont make much sense to me indeed.
