4770k or 4820k?

[Air tree]

Well these cpus are almost the exact same price where i am and i was wondering what platform i should go for? lga 2011 or 1150? I mean close to the same price is it worth it just to go that route instead?

[Langdon]

The CPUs may be the same price but the 2011 motherboards cost much more. I'd go for the 4770k.

[Bluethulhu]

4820k because PCIe lanes.

[LonliestofAll]

Depends on your use case, if your just gaming then get the 4770k if your doing things that are very CPU intensive get the 4820k

[M-ursu]

4770k or save some money to 4930k, there is no point to buy 4820k, because it does not perform better than 4770k in any cases.

Only go LGA 2011 if you:

1. Kneed moar coarz

2. Kneed moar pee cee eye ee laynz

3. Kneed moar Dee Dee are Tree moh dooles

I had to slow down to like 1/4 of my normal reading speed just for this.

While the CPU's might be the same price, the motherboard for a 2011 socket is more expensive

[BYOGamingPC]

+1 for the Intel Core i7-4770K

[ttam]

The 4770k wins the best over all chip in my book and is what I would highly recommend. 

 

The only thing that really comes to mind as an advantage to include on what others said is the 4820k offers the highest base clock at 3.7ghz (beat out all other chips right now) and with the 4770k at 3.5ghz.

4770k

[Giggitygoebbels]

4820K,4770K comes with cheap TIM,4820K comes with good fluxless solder.

ask urself 2 questions:

 

1- do i need 64Gb of ram, today or even in the future while using new system?

2- will i be going for quad sli or cfx config? (cause those would be the only configs where the gpu lanes would be useful)

 

if the answer to any of these questions is NO, dump 4820K and get ur self a fast and power efficient i7 4770K!

[IgniteFX]

The 4820k woulld be good if you do need more PCie lanes, and more DIMMS. It also has the heatspreader soldered to the die rather than cheap TIM like the 4770k. 

Also, the 2011 motherboards are generally more expensive. However, they do leave more room to upgrade.

that was really hard to read

My brain imploded at DDR3 modules.

[needmorewood]

if u ahve moeny just get the 4820k. assuming u dont have to downgrade ur other hardware. like gpu

[WoodenMarker]

It depends on what the system is for.
