5820k vs 6800k?

[militant83]

For video editing full hd and 4k videos purposes. When comparing the 5820k to the 6800k. Is there going to be a noticable difference in the performance of the 6800k over the 5820k. Or should I just save some money and go with the 5820k?

You can get the 6800k for $380 on Jet.

I was originally going to get the 5820k too, but I decided to get the 6800k because despite costing very slightly more, its skylake and gets slightly better multi core performance

Wouldnt be a bad deal if I can pick one up that cheap when it comes time for me to purchase one.

There are a few $50-60 max discount codes floating around just add that in the cart and it puts it into the $380s.

is it broadwell?  Huh, didn't notice that

Both similar chips.

The 6800K is just Broadwell-E and performance slightly better out of the box.

But not realy that much better.

Still if the prices are similar then i would go with the 6800K anyways.

 

But if you do 4K video editing and rendering allot.

Then the 6 core parts are a bare minimum depending on the software used.

The 8 core parts 5960X / 6900K would be more suitable if you realy do allot of render workloads in 4K.

But yeah those 8 core parts are rediculous expensive.

Would anyone hesitate picking up used cpus? Ive seen some decent deals on 8 core i7s compared to their cost new. Just a bit cautious of buying something like that used.

Well if i could find a good deal on a used 5960X for example.

Then i would grab it over a new 5820K or 6800K any day of the week.

 

Paypal has buyers protection i think.

It won't shave a huge amount of time off a render, 6800k is by far the best bang for the buck unless you literally pump out a video like every single day. Then by all means you might jump all the way up to the 6950X or something but that is $1650, even the 8 core is $1000..

6800k has a better IPC and is more power efficient, 5820k usually gets a higher overclock. I'd say it depends on the price difference. If it's <~$75 get the 6800k, it's more get the 5820k.

 

For the vast majority of video editing and rendering, anything above a 6800k is overkill and not worth the money.

No this is a hobby putting out 1-2 videos a week.

I kinda disagree with that.

Maybe if you talk about 1080p footage.

But not if we speak about 4K render footage.

 

But for just hobby render 2 video´s a week.

Then anything above the 6 core parts are indeed overkill.

I mess with 4k drone footage and love gaming and do a little video but nothing more than a few videos a month for me I opted for the 6800k and spent that extra $1200 on a watercooling loop vs. a cheap cooler and a 6950X. You could optionally spend the extra money on a new monitor or desk and chair, the wife and kids, a trip to the dentist, pizza for the poor downtown, lol.....
