Hello. I am planning to upgrade to one of these CPUs from my old i5-2500. I play games although not very intensive (Terraria, Combat Arms, Minecraft) but mostly I do work on Premier Pro and After Effects CS5. The question is, I was looking up processor rankings when I saw the i7-4820k for 340 USD. At the top of the page it said a newer version has been released. My question is, is a 4 core at 3.7GHz gonna outperform a 6 core at 3GHz? Would it differ for gaming and video editing?

I would go with the haswell-e cpu (i7-5820K) due to the fact that it has a more modern platform and the fact that it will be faster in games as well because it is only slightly less Mhz in turbo mode but is a more efficient design so it gets more work done with less Mhz. It will be much faster in video editing due to 2 more cores.. You can always overclock either cpu if you wanted.. The X99 platform (what you need for the I7-5820K) will be getting a new line of cpu's based off the broadwell core by next spring allowing you to by a 10 core i7 if you wanted (you could always put a 18 core xeon in the board but who has that type of money to spend). The i7-4820K is only 4 cores and easily beaten by newer mainstream cpu's like the i5-6600K...

The i7-4820K is only 4 cores and easily beaten by newer mainstream cpu's like the i5-6600K or i7-6700K which also have much newer platforms.. Hope this helps.. If not you can always google and search specific benchmarks ect...

My thoughts exactly.. I think you will be quite impressed by the speed at which you can process video compared to a computer from even 3 years ago..
