Intel Core i7 5820K  vs 4790K 

You're funny dude. You talk about grammar yet you have made and error of tense - "Are you on drugs when you wrote this?" - and you didn't use a capital letter for "i". It's obvious that the kid writing the statement you responded to was talking crap, and made it so deliberately obvious that he was doing so. Even if Danny was being serious, your response makes you appear to be trying very hard to seem more educated, meanwhile you are guilty of the same grammatical crimes that you accuse Danny of. Why bully people here at cpuboss when you have reddit?

Reading all these stupid ass comments below about which is better. LMAO u guys are so dumb. 4790k has higher IPC per core and better quad core/8 thread performance which is obviously better for gaming and browsing, but 5820k will have a substantial edge (up to 35%) in software that uses those extra 2 cores/4 threads (Final cut on a hackintosh or blender for example). It really depends on your workload. Neither is better in every scenario, both have trade-offs. I would personally go for the 5820k if I was building a new pc because of ddr4 support and future upgradeability but if you already have a z97 of z87 board then the 4790k is the obvious choice. You just can't beat that exact value proposition in that scenario.

According to CPUBoss the Intel Core i7-4790K is a much better processor! (this despite it being the cheaper let me know they are not just full of it). They (CPUBoss) did the benchmarks! They did not just pull those number out of their you-know-what! I am looking to build a new rig, and I was gravitating towards the Intel Core i7-5820K. This has caused me to change my mind - and save some dough! Thank you guys.

This faggot

look at your language now f called you a fucking pussy ass just because my opinion is different from yours, would you get fucking angry?! Go troll yourself, you dick

Yeah, but cpuboss is now just bullshit because they count the igpu and then give cpus their scores. its completely fucked up

Sorry cpuboss but I use the both processor at the same time with two different computers with almost same hardware spefications. 5820k is much more better. Unquestionable.

The single-core performance is nearly identical at the same clock speeds. Unless you don't want to overclock, the 5820k is better, you just have to get sufficient cooling for it.

Did you read my comment? Read it again, because you just made my point, which you seem to have missed.

For a first time build, 4790k or 5820k? 4790k build is about $300 cheaper

Of course the Intel will be better. Intel CPU's are hyper-threaded; AMD's aren't. You can't compare an Intel quad core to an AMD because the Intel has 8 threads and the AMD only has 4. A 4790K is better if you're using your PC for applications like gaming, which is what most people who buy a 4790K will use it for. But there are many non-gaming applications that can make much better use of having the additional 2 cores of the 5820K, like video rendering and 3D applications. Both are excellent chips, it just depends on what your needs are.

I think it is specifically higher than i7 4790K

Wow aren't you mature... You're obviously a troll, a liar and several other things but I'll reply anyway. DDR4 is only an upgrade to your credit utilization, not to your computer. Unless you think it's worth building a new system for a 5% performance increase, I certainly don't. You keep talking about 16 year olds with mommies, men, adults, etc and you call anyone who doesn't agree with you an unevolved idiot. Sounds like you're the one with the childlike mentality. I just built a new system, I didn't go with a 6th or even a 5th gen CPU, I went with the 4790k because I know what I'm doing and I think for myself. The same can clearly not be said for you.

Your opinion is irrelevant, we're talking about facts. The fact is, the 4790k has better real world performance because it has better single-core performance. I just built a new system and I didn't go with Skylake, I went with a 4th gen 4790k because it's the better choice.

old post dont reply

XD, "I write the checks, not cash them", "Statistically.... most of you are poor to upper middle class at best. I bet you're all jealous, unable to afford EITHER processor." You think that burning 5 grand in overpriced tvs and pcs that you don't need makes you better? It makes you a fool, dude. I can get the same stuff for 1/3 of the price right now, just because I didn't rush to burn my cash in overpriced stuff that I don't even need. And what do you do with all that overpriced stuff that you bought anyway? I doubt you are doing anything productive with it. If you are really like this (and you aren't trolling), then you have serious problems of self-esteem, anger and ignorance. You are able to survive in this world because those "losers" that you are so fond of mentioning, work to put food on your table, shoes on your feet, clothes on your body, etc. It's called society. If those "losers" decided to treat you like the trash it appears you are, they'd grab a gun, shoot you in the head and be done with it. Fortunately, most people know better and tolerate that shitty and ridiculous attitude that you have, for the greater good. Btw, what good is money if you are alone? What good is money when you have no friends, nobody that gives a shit about you because you are such a dick? So, you found a way to earn big money, but for how long will this situation last? Are you fighting for that money? If so, what happens when you get seriously injured, unable to keep fighting? What happens when your fighting days are over? Have you thought about that? Who'll feel like a loser then? At that point, the little money you have left after years of burning it in superfluous stuff, won't matter... don't you see?

No dude, 6 cores doesn't mean faster data transfer. That depends on bandwidth, architecture, etc. People are still assuming that more cores and a higher clock speed necessarily mean better performance. That's just dumb, if that were the case, then AMD would've been ruling the cpu kingdom for the last decade, and experience shows us that the opposite is true. I have two builds at home, one based on Intel quad-core, the other based on AMD quad-core... One rapes the other, I'll let you guess which one.

Yes, that is right. I think 5820K is better than 4790K by 20-30% (my opinion). Though i7 5960X is still the best. It has extreme prices however

Funny How people who buy gaming PC Think They know everything. Grow up. Just got Done building 2nd Gam pc Saved myself good 1000 bucks. Went with 4790k water cooled, no stupid fan. Not much diff between 4790k and 5th gen or even 6th. That why went with 4790k Devils canyon. plus you can overclock hell out of it. Quad core better then hexicore for gamming. CPU Boss right. Other Computer sites results same 4790k actually out performs 5820k in some areas. anybody buy pc stupid Go new egg get parts build. That's it

If we told you the 4790 was now a number over 9000 would you buy it? And are you saying that you have been a pussy till last year?

ther he goes ... now STFU and go beat up your wife

hi Alex. I think no, if you have a serious 4790k system, with a good sample cpu with nice OC capabilities OR if you don't want to OC at all. I had the 4790k, but was disapppointed with that, can't oc higher than 4,6ghz stable with decent cooling (Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro3) so i decided to return and invest a bit more to X99 platform (4 channel faster & more memory support, 6or+ cores, more pci lanes, dont have to delid and so on...). Now, my 5820k is running on 4,6ghz (3x4,5ghz and 3x4,7ghz actually) with Noctua NHD15 rock-solid & stable, Just finished a couple of skylake build, only 6600k (so i5) but im a bit disappointed on the OC capabilities, both ended up on 4,5ghz - 4,6ghz stable :( (w. dark rock pro 3) which is not bad, but its far behind the previously hyped & announced "5ghz or more on air cooling".... Verdict: i wont change this system (5820k + Asus X99-A) its killer for sure. Will skipp broadwell-e, but maybe later on if skylake-e will be released but i guess there wont be a huge stepp forward (...but we'll see).

After a search or two I found your gem of a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/FUCKYOURFACEINTHEMOU/videos BTW, I really liked this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rAk9LcSP1A it really shows the luscious lifestyle of a famous person

Each has their application. 4790k has much better single core performance. The 5820k has much better multithreaded performance. I wouldnt state one is better than the the other as each have their strengths and it comes down to the question what are you doing with the computer? Seriously everyone needs to relax.

Is there any good reason for the common consumer (like me), to upgrade from 4790K ? I guess not...
