I was looking at the Intel Extreme CPUs for quite some time now, but when the time has come to decide which one I should buy, I can't.
What would you guys do? Buy 5820k or 6800k? Differences between them are very small only 22nm vs 16 nm; +100Mhz; +£80 basically.
I'm just curious if the newer CPU would be worthy of the extra price as those +100 Mhz could be easily reached by overcloking the older one. In some review I've also seen that it (6800k) doesn't really performane that much better in real-life situations.
Also, would it make any difference in a choice of a Motherboard as I'd like to go with the ASUS Strix Gaming, but it seems that both CPUs are running on the same 2011-v3, or is there actually any diffeeence?
