As the title says, I'm looking to know what the real performance difference is between the three "enthusiast processors. I have a couple questions:

1. If I were just to be browsing the web and watching videos (not that I am, I'm not buying a 5960X just to watch LinusTechTips videos and browse the forums for three hours :p) but if I were, what is the difference between the 5820k and the 5960X? The big thing: WILL I NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE?
2. Is it different when it comes to rendering? Is it really worth spending the 1k on the 5960X, will it give me extremely boosted performance in render time/video editing? (What I will be using it for)
3. Am I really going to need a 5960X? I know its up to me, but if I'm video editing and rendering, is the difference going to be even noticeable?

1) No, unless you are watching maybe 30 videos at once?
2) Yes there is a difference, but you spend 300% more money on the 5960X for under 50% performance increase from a 5820K for multi-threaded applications.
3) Well, Broadwell-E CPUs are coming out, so you might want to wait for those. The I7-6800K (6 cores 12 threads), I7-6850K (6 cores 12 threads), I7-6900K (8 cores 16 threads), and I7-6950X (10 cores 20 threads)

Honestly, I'd just get a 5820K unless you render stuff all day and need the saved minutes with the 5960X.

Well I was just curious. I was going to get the 5820k anyways. Actually, I was gonna wait for broadwell-e. Is that a good idea?

Do you think that I7-6800/50K will be more efficient than a 5820k?
