Intel Core i7 6700K  vs 5820K 

how can cpu support max 64gb ram when it on a motherboard that supports 128gb ram

those test bench never true performance

sadly aqgreed

i just got the cpu on combo deal at micro center and am now wondering about it if it was best deal

Just look at the chart and you guys will understand how shitty this comparision is. 5820K beat the shit out of 6700K lol. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7f1eb0e4f683ba5a27eb7984ec9d3de38c4ce27fddc460ae91cd5957ee97ccca.png

how can a quad core processor have a higher score than a hexa core one? Doesn't make any sense to me haha. When it come down to future proof it is no brainer to go for 5820k and it could last u for years. Furthermore, the 5820K is enthusiast level while the 4790k, 6700k still in mainstream line LMAO

That was exactly my point. Waiting for theoretical performance improvements at some time in the future is pointless. There will always be a "next best thing", there's no point delaying a purchase because there might be something a bit better some point later. Beau Sally was saying that a 6700k wouldn't be a good upgrade from a fx8350 because it would be "worthless in a year", that's not true. It would have been a worthwhile upgrade for many years and Intels decreasing performance improvements will probably mean it will be usable for many, many CPU generations.

Reading this at the end of 2016 proves you wrong. There is no Skylake Refresh, and Kaby Lake has no gains over Skylake it is worth to talk about. Sad.

They say those boards will support the cannonlake too.

Go back to your trannie girlfriend and stay out of places that require intelligence.

True. The 5820k at stock speed beat a 6700k@4.4 GHz in the CPU DAWBench test

"right now neither the 6700k nor its little brother is worth wasting money on." Said a poo-flinging monkey.

the x99 [platform is not old they just refreshed it the 5820k is honestly the better bang for the buck its cheaper than the 6700k and has more performance

Hello, im about to buy a cpu.. im not sure of it, 6700k or 5820k, I read and read about those two cpu, I would like to sli 1080 to gaming in 4k monitor, I see some games fram in 5820k have higher frams than 6700k in some sites, im afraid if I go for the 5820k because of the x99 which it is old, and z170 have better future.

Hello, gotta build a pc, i do not sure what to go with: 5820k or 6700k with gtx 1080 sli ?

Anyone thinking this AMD garbage, the fx 8350 is even in the same.... universe as the 6700k, 4790k, OR 5820k is on crack, man. Did anyone say that? How stupid. They probably are very eager gamers, and that's what they have. Desperately trying to make a case (in their own minds) for why they have the mad notes. I certainly disagree with some of this, I respect the 6700k, but overall.... I like the 5820k. I also think the 6700k > 4790k, but they ALL beat the freaking fx 8350. Man...... AMD is like... Lead paint shedding toys made in Bangladesh, Nvidia is like high quality American made toys.

so agreed. I honestly think the original scores, which have the 5820k above the 4790k, and the skylake slightly above that, were more accurate. I appreciate the Skylake's 4 cores, and gaming ability. It is NOT less than the 4790k, and it sure as hell isn't almost twice as good as the 5820k. Good observation. Yes, their credibility with this guy is shot.

O my god. You and Driven01 are intelligent! I'm amazed!! You are the only 2 I read, I bet there are other people who are not morons!! I am pleased. Did you guys know, that when the 5820k came OUT, it was 9.1, the 4790k was 9.3, and when the 6700k popped it was 8.9? Then they added in all the stupid onboard graphics and power bullshit, and BOGGED the hell out of the 5820k's score. It's just not as popular, and many, many people think the 4790k and 6700k just BLOW it out of the water, the quad cores sell better, and they're being biased. People cry about an AMD vs Nvidia Bias... I don't see that. I see a Bias towards the court of public opinion, which has many jurors who don't understand the hardware.

The fx 8 series has a way lower performance boost per clock compared to anything intel has had since sandybridge. Reasons people rocked the 2500k for so long. Plus we arent seeing many games useing more than 4 cores yet.

It may, but Broadwell-E is using the same X99 chipset as Haswell-E. And they say Kaby Lake will also support Z170, which according to me is great!!

Upgrade from? An FX 8350? Sure, you could wait for Kaby Lake NOW but upgrading to a Skylake over an FX 8350 is completely sensible (if you are willing to spend) OR even an i5 6600K is better than 8350 for current gen gaming

Exactly, that too using dang Celeron N1500 lol

lol

Against a 3000mhz ddr4? 6700k stock is 4.0-4.2ghz I have OCed mine to 4.6ghz
