i see that the new cpu 6850 is closest to the 5930k in price

but if I upgrade to the 6850 will there be any advantages from the 5930, or is there anything new these new cpu's offer?

Pretty much nothing, IPC gains are minuscule and the first lot seem to be poor clockers just like the previous ones were on release.

i suppose there there is no reason to upgrade as the 5930k seems pretty much the same thing as the 6850k, apart from a new name right?

then a worthy CPU upgrade from a 5930 would be the 6900k or the 6950k yes? i mean its a huge amount of cash to drop on a cpu if its only for PC gaming?

Then it might be better to wait on the new cpu's next year, some guy mentioned that lga3647 will be launched next spring, this new cpu seems it will be better than the 5/6 series cpu's
