990x(slightly higher turbo) vs 6800k.
Very roughly 20-30% increase performance @ same clocks and c/t + potensial for increase ram speed and future instructions. And reduced launch price. Thats what it seems like to me.
I do see how the average cpu has increase both in cores and clock speed while price/power useage has dropped.
And i would think the newer cpu's are snappier? Start processing faster? or am i total retard atm? Got very limited knowledge in this field, which is why i ask
Ordered a x5680 to replace my i7 920 to hopefully achieve 60fps stable @ ultra 1080p gaming for some years more. Trying to figure out when my cpu will become an obvious bottleneck. And also try to find a good cpu comparison to an overclocked x5680 across the sockets.
