Based purely on performance and not cost which of the following do you think is the best CPU and why?

• Intel Core i7-6700K
• Intel Core i7-6850K
• Intel Core i7-6900K
• Intel Core i7-6950X

It's the most expensive, therefore it's "Best" until I know exactly what you want to do with it.

for what application?  also why not conciser xeons if cost doesnt matter?

the 6950x is the best if programs can use all the power.

6700 isn't same architecture so then 6850k

i know this . The 6700k has higher clocks AND IPC , therefor it has the highest single core performance

nvm i see now he put 6700k in his post too.

It depends on the task. Running a larger server or a render farm? The i7-6950X. Running notepad or Firefox? The i7-6700K

 

It's like asking if a Ford F-350 or a Ford GT is a better vehicle. If you want to set record times on the Nurburgring, you go with the Ford GT. If you want to haul a bunch of stuff, you go with the F-350.

Best for gaming? 6700k hands down
Best Consumer chip ever made
