6950x or 6900k?

[lancer420]

So, in a few months i'm building a new PC for gaming and video making. I'm gonna get broadwell-e rather than the very newest one because i don't think it's worth it. But i can't decide between the 6950x and the 6900k. Both have very similar clock speeds so the 6950x seems like the better choice but what do you guys think? Thanks!

well here problem is between a bit more per core power vs 2 more cores (4 threads). For the price I would go for 6900k (6850x its almost double the price)
are you sure you don't want threadripper build ?

for movie edit, additional cores would rock.

No I don't want threadripper. I have everything planned out and I'm not gonna revamp everything to change processors. Besides I've had nothing but trouble from amd products both cpu's a graphics cards

just a thought. with new tech coming out and whatnot you'd have no upgrade path. zen archetecture will expand for a long time. and intels cpu's will be better. how long do you want this to last? buying a broadwell based pc now is throwing money away. but hey, if you had a bad experience before :shrugs: its your money.

why is it money thorwing away
do you mean a new one or even a used one for good money is money thrown away?

The (somewhat) stupid 6950X still costs $1500+ compared to the 7900X at $999, and, is slightly slower to boot...at least the 6900K only has 2 less cores than the 7900X, and costs only $200 more than 7900X as well. Both options seem ludicrous, solely for gaming, IMO...

On the positive side, each of the above is still beaten in most games by the 8700K, but, at least you can say you have 8-10 cores doing it.

i think youre confusing core count with high fps. in new benchmarks a 4 core i3 is beating a 8 core threadripper cpu. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/game-performance-bottleneck-cpu-gpu,5503-6.html

Okay. But I meant the 6850k. I thought you meant this cpu.

I am looking for some advise for an offer I got

If I could get that thing for 1200 EUR - would a be a good choice for

Adobe

Lightroom
Premiere
Photoshop

Or would it be more intelligent to get
an workstation

with a

7900x
8700k

or another idea?

for around 2000 EUR?

I want to start a business and cant decide because I have to look for a budget thing.
But I want to work at least 2 years? with that machine.

And want good perfromance in my everyday work..

Maybe its not fit in here but I really looking for some qualified help
