Nearly as powerful as the 10-core Extreme Edition, at a much lower price, Will work with most existing X99 Socket 2011 v3 motherboards (after a BIOS update)
Still quite expensive, Comparatively low clock speed means much cheaper chips will outrun it on some mainstream tasks
For content creators and enthusiasts who don't need the absolute best performance, Intel's eight-core Broadwell-E chip makes more sense than the $600-pricier Extreme Edition alternative. But those looking for the best bang for their silicon buck should s...

Abstract: What would you do with more CPU cores? This is a question I see posted from an Intel employee on a yearly basis, and it actually is a difficult question to answer depending on your computing background. A gamer might not need more than four or six, and a...
Abstract: The 10 Tentacle Core i7 6950X, Core i7 6900K / 6850K & 6800K Processors Hey - It's All About Mega-Tasking!Hey y'all! The moment has arrived, Intel is stepping up the game by offering a new series of flagship (for consumers) processors, these are the new 1...
Abstract: We always knew we'd be seeing Broadwell again, though. There's a fairly predictable lag between when Intel rolls out a new architecture and when the design is adapted for server/workstation use. So, when we got our hands on Xeon E5-2600 v4 , based on Broa...
Abstract: These days there are basically two different groups of customers who demand lots of processing power: content creators and gamers, while this 2D performance comparison is targeting content creators. After having had a look at the following pages you'll ha...
As we noted in the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU Review, gaming is a mixed bag for AMD. Some titles respond well to the new architecture, while most others still require optimization of some sort. Where those optimizations will focus remains a question mark...
DefaultFirst of all we're going to have a closer look at performance differences with standard clock speeds From our overall performance rating we see that the Core i76900K is on average 796 % quicker than the Core i75960X If we start searching for the be...
Looking at the 6900K in comparison to the best CPU of the last generation, the i7-5960X it is hard not to be impressed. The new Broadwell-E range slots into existing socket 2011-3 systems, as well as all the boards we have seen launched over the last few...

Extreme Performance, Mature Motherboard Platform, DDR4 is now a mainstream memory standard, Simple, flexible overclocking via BCLK and/or Multiplier, Will reward enthusiast overclockers, Flagship model pushes the boundaries of the High End Desktop capabil
Nonflagship models are only small improvements over HaswellE, More expensive than HaswellE at launch, >$1500 Flagship breaks new ground in consumer CPU pricing.
