worth upgrading from 3930k?

[Griffildur]

just checking, I've seen some benchmarks already and I did my own comparisons which indicate that there still is no point upgrading my system. I have been waiting for a while, have the money aside, but I don't feel like paying hundreds of pounds for a few measly %.

anyway, what do you guys think?

you can see my components in my signature and I did some benchmarks as well:

gaming and work, software development mainly hence why I have loads of memory.

I'm not sure what software uses CPU power and what software uses CPU. Post what you use and other will be able to help you out better

My current system is a 3930K and I was looking to upgrade but Intels prices are too crazy for a similar chip. I have pre-ordered the 1800x and will do a side-by-side comparison in the upcoming days.

I'm moving from 3930K @ 4.4GHz to Ryzen 1800X.
If you're mainly gaming, it's probably not worth it and would advise Kabylake. If your work includes heavy loads, compiling etc then maybe take a look at Ryzen.

Probably, I'm moving from a 4930K to a 1700X and looks good.

Generally speaking if you chose the 3930K over the 2700K and don't regret it then you won't regret taking Ryzen over Kaby.
