5820K is worth it for future proof?
That's not a question.
>>55022827
why
Future proofing is never worth it, you get severely diminishing returns the more money you spend.

The complete build , 6700K vs 5820K is around 150€ more for the X99 platform.
You think , for 150€ it's worth it the 5820k for future proof or not?
>>55022817
you are attempting to justify a kenworth transport truck because you need to tow a boat once a month.
either you need the haswell, or you dont.

Future proofing is not possible, that overall small difference won't mean shit 5 years from now

What are you even doing?

What the fuck¿??¿ Why?
>>55022871
I like how you just got a second chance to prove you are literate and you fucking blew it, again.
Go for the 5820k
>>55022988
Cause there are so many apps and games that will use those cores. Any day now.

True, but it was only a waste of money when it was expected that in a year your hardware would become obsolete, CPUs aren't going to get any faster any time soon. People who bought X99 in late 2014 are still using some of the fastest consumer CPUs available today, Broadwell-E is barely an improvement.
>>55022883
In 5 years the 2500K is still going to be a viable gaming CPU and people will still be happily doing productivity work on 6700K/5820K. Whatever new that will come out will merely be more energy-efficient.
>>55022817
Wait for Broadwell-E.
>>55023062
The OP said future proof , the X99 it's the way
>>55023081
By the time things are using hexa cores properly, X99 will be junk, just as a Phenom II X6 is today.

And what about use the 6-core now with VM's ¿?¿
5820K is equal to the 6500 in applications that can't take advantage of more than 4 threads which are the majority.
It's not worth the money.
>>55023378
You can overclock the 5820K and you have a "improved 6700K" + 2 cores
Oh What , virtual machines can't take advantage of more than 4 threads ¿?
>>55023428
>overclock the 5820K
Do you want to start a housefire?
>>55023472
Sgut the fuck up.
5820K runs at 4.5GHz on air easy.
>>55023472
kill yourself the housefire meme needs to die, the 5960x is a housefire. The 5820k is the same silicon running a bit faster and 2 less cores than the 5960x. My 5820k when overclocked to 4.5GHz hits around 310w at full load, the CPU is ~170w of that. Only ~30w more than stock, while running 1.1GHz over stock speeds.
How the fuck could that be considered a housefire? Sure, it uses a lot of power but it has 2 more cores than the 6700k and is 22nm not 14nm.
Not to mention it has 1 BILLION more transistors than the 6700k.
Here is my 5820k at 4.7GHz, stock is 3.3GHz
Isn't Skylake the end? What's to future proof?
>>55023660
Nice!
You recommend the 5820K¿?
Don't ever try to future proof, just get something with solid performance and count yourself lucky if you fall into a 2500K situation.
>>55023970
If you can use the extra cores in your day to day workload now, the 5820k is an easy choice, the price difference from the 6700k is negligible.
If you're just buying it in the hopes eventually some day you will use those extra 2 cores, ehhhh. It could be worth it but it really depends how well 6 core CPUs scale in gaming and other applications going forward.
DX12 and Vulcan should allow for greater utilization of CPU cores, but only time will tell the whole picture.
