i7-3820 or 3930?

I do not need this processor for gaming just raw power for a 3D workstation.

Is the 3930 worth the extra cost?

Thanks for the confirmation.

Yep I am putting in 64GB of ram. Rendering is my most important factor.

If you're running Windows then don't forget you need the 64 bit Professional or higher version to use that amount of RAM.
