Intel 3930K vs 3960X

[5T34LTH]

whats different between these two beasts?..... 3930K vs 3960X, 2011 socket CPUs, i now the 60X is cool but is it worth $500 buks more? i know both are overpowered for most pple, but why is one worth 500$ more?......(in canada it is)

am i the only one wondering? or not..... cuss it tickles me inside the head, i cant seem to find some one testing both side by side on the same motherboard stock speed(most are OC, so its more about how much good pple are at it)

the 3960X is only worth it if you have a heap of money to burn as the difference is 100mhz and 3mb Cache. the actual performance increase is not worth the extra $500
I went through this decision myself and ended up with the 3930k and couldn't be happier
