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.

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.

My first thought seeing 6950X was an HD Radeon 6950.

I wouldn't have thought what someone paid on ebay for an ES is indicative of Intels pricing for it when it comes out.

I wouldn't expect more than $1500
