Core i7 6950X / 6900K / 6850K & 6800K Processor Review

We review the Core i7 6950X Extreme Edition (Broadwell-E) 10 core processor and check the performance of the 6900K / 6850K & 6800K processors as well. The new Broadwell-E type processors can be used on the existing X99 motherboards after a BIOS update. Intel's most high-end processor SKUs just got updated with four new models, the top dog being the enthusiast class ten-core processor!

Damn man, to see the 8370 up there like that in gaming. My CPU is right around that mark too. Basically little gain for high price. And new CPUs requiring Win 10 lol. I will be upgrading to Skylake or something at some point I guess, because I don't want Win 10 right now.

Anyway, my CPU just needs a 1080. CPU power is so overrated for gaming sometimes.

Hey what can I say .. at least I achieved 4.4 GHz on all cores, it just required many volts with our sample. Perhaps with few BIOS updates temps will stabilize a bit better.
