5930K or wait for 6930K Anonymous 2016-04-07 06:33:45 Post No. 53911776 [Report]
Hi /g/rills, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a modern i7 for cpu-based rendering purposes.

I was tempted to go with a 5820K but the PCI lane limitation dissuaded me a bit, so I'm leaning towards the 5930K, in case I desire to go with dual GPUs at some point in its lifespan.

The question is, this shit is getting older every minute, around when should I expect to see a successor to this chip, a 6930K? Would you say it's worth waiting for or should I just pull the trigger on the 5930K?

why would the pcie lane limitation matter? unless you want 3 gpus it's useless, and if you want to load up on pcie ssds those just use the pch lanes, not the cpu lanes.

Use a Xeon instead. Could even do a dual socket system. Also gives you access to ECC memory.
