6700K vs 4790K ( For CAD )

[OrangeCoffee]

I know this topic has already been beaten to death but I had a question. I'm building a computer as a design workstation, so Solidworks, photoshop, inventor, possibly Autocad etc. Most of these programs are single threaded, SW only multithreads on simulations and renderings which I will use a fair amount too.

Should I go for;
The new Skylake 6700K I7 with the more expensive new motherboards (The DDR3 ones though as I can't afford the upgrade to DDR4).

Or last year's Haswell 4790K I7 bearing in mind the clock speeds are the same I believe ? With the Older I would be able to afford a better Quadro Card so I'm unsure of what is a better idea.

Any thoughts are welcome, thanks in advance

For what he's planning on doing Skylake is about 5% better overall and thats with ddr4.

and lets not even get into gaming where skylake is typically worse and even SB becomes a challenger

Here is a video of GTA V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDo-j00vUtw where Skylake improves gaming performance quite significantly.

6700K is better...

if i as u and i'm used grapich card, i think Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 socket 1150 is best choice, Support ECC, High Max Memory and save money... u can see ark.intel.com..
(just my opinions from newbie.. )

He's not playing games... And ONE game does not make it a great CPU otherwise I could says its a complete failure and post the one game where an i7-2600k beats it.

IMO, its only on par with what we already have. Except for the benefits of the more modern motherbds its not worth the extra monies if you cant afford to use them. $200+ for a 256mb Sm951 m.2 vs $100 for an 250gb 850evo sata3 for example.
