Intel Core i7-6950X Benchmarked Against i7-5960X
If you check out our forums, you'll notice that Silicon Lottery has posted benchmark results of the Intel Core i7-6950X Tested Against a Core i7-5960X.
Overclocked it reached 4.50 GHz and got a Cinebench R15 score of 2327 points. At 4.00 GHz, it scored 1904 points, 19.5 percent higher than the i7-5960X at the same clocks (the i7-6950X features two extra cores). The 6950X is a ten-core chip with HyperThreading and a 25MB L3 cache / quad-channel DDR4 memory controller.
The memory read speeds were nearly the same, but the memory write speeds were found to be a staggering 35% percent higher on the i7-6950X.
Check out the post from our buddy at Silicon Lottery here.

Oh my freaking god-MUST HAVE! I dont think I will be able to afford something like that tough.At those prices I would need to work all month in order to buy just the Cpu.
But wow 10 cores,20 threads!!! I would have guessed $1000 max, I dont see who is going to drop that kinda $ on a cpu.
In countries like mine, you will have to work a whole year, year and a half. If you dont spend a dime that is

where do you live? in Canada it is going to cost over 2000$ easily with our bad economy right now. I cant believe I payed only 1000$ Canadian at the time for the 5960x because right now it costs like 1400$ or more.

I've heard it will be ~$2500 in Canada.
Not a huge fan of changing processors because of the LGA pins and the price/performance here is particularly underwhelming.
NCIX already has an SKU for it:

With tax and shipping, $2500 CAD seems about right.

There is no basis for trying to figure out how much it will cost. Intel has never even hinted at the pricing. Everything is pure speculation, but it will probably be closer the $1000 mark.

I get 1647 score with my 5960x, it is going to feel weird and unfamiliar when I no longer have the most powerful consumer chip in the solar system.
