Who the actual fuck are they supposed to sell this to? Who is the target audience here?
It obviously not casual PC users, but it can't be gaymers either, as the 6700K mostly still beats the crap out of this chip while costing 1/5th of the price.
And even when it doesn't, the overpriced 10-core only gets about 5 more fps or so. But even if the margin was bigger, it's still waaay too expensive. Only the richest of rich kids can afford to spend so much money on a single component.
So is it meant for professionals? But they can buy a much cheaper Xeon 10 core if they would want one. Not to mention how Xeons are much better suited for professional work.
Also the whole X99 chipset is predominantly marketed towards gaming enthusiasts.
So who the hell is supposed to buy this thing /g/?

Even with a DX12 game that's optimised for multiple cores, the difference with the 6700K is only 2 fps at most.

And here the 6700K's minimum performance is actually higher than the 6950X's average. So clearly this thing couldn't have been designed for gaming.

Correction, it was minimum and average fps here

do you even twitch desu

its for twitch streamers

not him, but explain
>>
>>55901665
What's to explain
Allows for smoother streaming and gaming at the same time because the cpu allows tasks more room to breathe
>>
>>55901665
Real time encoding is very cpu intensive while also gaming
I'm not a streamer, but I tried streaming some GTA V which is already very cpu intensive, and it maxed out my 4770K and dropped my framerate from 60 down to about 40 because the cpu was bottlenecking the gpu
I'm sure with some tweaks in OBS I could fix it a little bit, but that was just using the normal settings

Go back to /v/ try something like FEA,CFD or even rendering for artyfags.
Nice of them to throw in a t-shirt in the knowledge you ain't spendin' cash on clothes after buying a system based around that.

Believe it or not there are lots of moderately rich people that wouldn't hesitate to buy a 1.5k cpu or a 1k gpu. Those are the same people that spends lots of money on virtual items in games. There are whole industries built around it.
If you really want to fell like shit then check out the rich kids of Instagram. Kids literally pouring several bottles of $800 champagne for fun while showing off their rich people stuff. It's never the same guys either. There are tons of them.

Fuck off and stop complaining, idiots.
Don't you see that it also comes with a FREE Intel tshirt? Then it's a great deal.

>>55902239
cheaper to build a dedicated PC for the encoding
>>55901233
I'd say its for servers but it's not a xeon so who knows

I built a 5960X build for an encoder once. He really needed the speed boost that comes with the 8 cores. He paired it with a 750 Ti, he isn't a gamer.
