Posted October 25, 2016 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. I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
