Which cpu is better

[Deleted member 1300495]

Intel Core i7-4960X Extreme edition or Intel ore i7-4930K. Which one would be better forr gaming and video editing related tasks or would a i7-4770K beat them all?

The 4960x is better than the 4930k but it's not worth an extra $400-500 since you can overclock the 4930k. The 4770k has the strongest single core performance of all, but it only has 4 cores compared to the other two's 6.

what do you mean that a 4960X would not overclock? Would a 4930K beat a 4770K?

Yes the 4960x overclocks but it's not going to overclock THAT much more than the 4930k to justify it's price. Yes the 4930k beats the 4770k in a lot of things, but the 4770k, when overclocked, would win in anything that uses 4 threads or less.

Would games and video editing programs like sony vegas pro take advantage of 4 or 6 cores?
