Finally ordered - How does it stack up?

Wow. I would like to hand you the Darwin award.



... which depends on what you do with the PC.

Let's see, the 2600K is 15% faster in audio encoding, and 10% faster in mainstream 1920x1080 gaming. That's two applications, one of which you'll only see an improvement of 10-15 seconds, and one of which won't make it any more playable or will make the difference between turning on one feature. Then we have photo editing and 2560x1440+ gaming, where they're comparable. The 980 is 35% faster in video encoding, 3D rendering, and productivity. It's 20% faster in content creation, compiling, and file compression/decompression.

Let's see how they stack up: the 2600K wins against the 980 in two categories, with an average 12.5% higher speed. It also ties the 980 in two categories. The 980 wins against the 2600K in six categories, with an average 27.5% higher speed, and each of those applications it wins at are much more time-sensitive given they take more to complete, which makes the results even more relevant.

See what's in bold. On average the Core i7-980 is faster than the Core i7-2600K. You can't change the facts.

Nice "categories". Well done A++

Not bothering with arguing with you, it's pointless.
