/g/ i am in middle of choosing cpu for my work station pc i

>>57170172
yeah go ahead

>>57170172
get a 5820k / 6800k instead

>>57170172
yes

An i5-6600K at stock clocks has the same performance as an i7-6700 as it comes at a higher default clock.
Even if you're not overclocking, the 6600 is a better buy.

>>57170208
but it does not support hyper-threading for good multi-threading performance.

>>57170231
It still has significantly better Quad core and single core performance

>>57170231
If you really cared about squeezing extra performance, you should go for the 6700K as it turbo's higher than the 6700 as long as you cool it well.
You'll end up paying only slightly more, with a much better performing and quieter PC.

Or, if you want real multicore, go for a 5820K or a Xeon.

>less threads to pin to your VM/use to compile stuff

it's shit.

>>57170263
>muh threads
go with a 6-core

>>57170261
> 6700K
i looked into it, in the end you pay $20 to 30$ extra for cpu and around $45+ for cpu cooler.

i am not sure if $80+ worth it when you are not gonna overclock 6700k .

>>57170268
> 6 cores
do i really need 6 cores ? no idea, but it will be cool.
i will look into 6800k if local dealer had better deal.

depends on the applications that you want to run in your vm.

>i want to run virtual machines and compile
I max out my 8350 regularly.
