Broadwell-E vs. Skylake i7s?

canadianvice · Dec 13, 2016

So, I wanna build a new really really nice computer.

The trouble is, I have two options:
i7-6700K
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX58496 which I got via Intel for $229 CAD

OR
i7-6800K
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX62100 priced as you see.

Is it worth for the difference? Should I splurge and get this one?

i7-6850K
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX62101

I'm hoping to put it into an mATX build, but that's still a toss up.

Hi Sir . The i7 6700k Is a 6th Generation Intel Processor (Skylake) Which Can Respond For All Of Needings In The World. Of Course I Dont Think U Need 15 mb Cache!!!! So Dont Waste Ur Money And Afford The i7 6700k

Also :

1. As U Know U Can Overclock It To 4.8 Ghz - 5 Ghz And It Can Be Reliably Work Better . But Even 4Ghz Is Still Powerful !

2. Remember For Using A K Series Cpu And If U Want To Oc It U Need A Z Series Mobo Which Got The BEst Oc Capability ( Just For Informing U . Maybe U Knew This One )

Good Luck

Best Regards

Honestly, it really depends what you want it for. If gaming, the 6700K is about as good as you need, the clock speed wins out.
If you're editing/rendering then the added cores of the 6800K may help a bit.

I really see no justification for the 6850K at all, especially at the price.

Fair enough. Unfortunately the processors I get this way are NFR... If you work at an electronics retailer, look up Intel RetailEdge. Good rewards and 2x a year they offer supremely discounted processors or other intel stuff.
