Hi all.
I'd like to minimize solution time in 3D components design in ANSYS software.
This program use all the available cores of any cpu.
Is it good to replace my i7-5930k with i7-7820k which have 8 cores and it easily go to 4.3Gh or stay using my current CPU until next year incoming the new extreme i7-8XXXE.

It is due to supply and demand. i7-5930K is Haswel 4th generation runs on socket 2011-v3 which may accept i7-6950X (10 cores 5th gen sell for $1700). I think 10 cores is max on socket 2011 and Intel probably already stop making them. Intel already released 18cores CPU on socket 2066 which sell for $2000, 10 cores cost only $1000. Socket 2066 is their future.

You can't do it. i7-5930k is desktop using socket LGA 2011-v3. There is no i7 7820K. i7-7820HK is laptop using socket FCBGA1440. If your mobo is 2011-v3, it may support 10 core CPU. There is i7-7820X but it uses LGA2066 socket.

Beyond 5930K, you can go for the 7000x series, which may help increase your performance. But you will need a new motherboard.

You can wait for the 8000X series if you wish, but it is dependent on whether you need the performance now or can hold off until next line comes for options.

sorry I must put x instead of k
yes , I mean i7-7820x and I know the MB must changed to socket 2066
But my question is it worth to change the CPU and I confused about that the price of new i7-5930k is high until now (above 500$) ? what the secret about that?

In future if the performance of 8000X series double the 5930k I will go go for it. But it depend on the price?
The i9-7000X have huge performance compared to 5000k series but their price more than 1000$
