So I've been doing a fair amount of research on these 2 cpus. I currently own a I7 920 @4.2ghz and am ready to upgrade my motherboard, ram and cpu.
I should note that I am not as tech savvy and educated on the current pc industry and what's best.
I understand that the 5930k is much older as the 6700k was just released. And that they are different sockets(1151/6700k vs 2011 v3/5930k) and with that comes different features of the motherboards and different amount of pci e lanes.
My question is for the hardcore gamers who want to get the most future proof and most performance from gaming.
Look at the below comparison of the 2 cpus.
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-5930K/3502vs2578
Can someone explain what makes single core performance so much better on the 6700k?
Basically my queation is;
I want the most future proof system and beat gaming rig. WI'll there be a newer socket 2011-v3 cpu coming out? I dont want to buy a socket 2011 cpu and have it be obsolete to a new HEDT cpu with a new socket. Thats a big deal for me so keep that in mind
Which cpu should I get considering the sockets of each. Why isn't there skylake with 6 cores If they made a K series? Is there no market or need for a 6 core skylake?
Better question is why isn't there an updated HEDT platform for gamers. Skylake is supposed to be mainstream and the performance gains over previous gen cpu is a marginal and at best a 10% increase. Haswell e is starting to age.
I want a 14nm successor to the Haswell-e 5930k that has better single core speeds than the 5930k.
What should I do? Since 2016 is around the corner, should I wait for kabylake or the q1 2016 cpu that's coming?(don't know the name of it)
TLDR: 6700k or 5930k? 6700k kills the 5930k in single core speeds and quad core speeds but the 5930k kills thw 6700k in everythING else inclubbing multi core speeds. Ch3ck the link above. I am mainly gaming at highest settings @ 2k and want a future proof rig.
Thank you for reading this.
