thanks Hilbert for the awesome review!
Oh man, the rampage looks so badass and the new bios layout looks pretty cool too, tho im not overly impressed with the benchmarks, doesn't seem like big upgrade coming from a 4960x.
I do wonder how far these new chips can be overclocked tho!

i believe the rear usb2.0 ports are black where you've said red, sir.

great job on your 5x-combo Hilbert, thank you.
I'm already on track upgrading to 4790k and Maximus VII Formula, the last of last gen's processors, rams and boards. until I upgrade again only God knows what technology will be in offer.

Which article and page was that ?

nice gains over the ivy-e, amazing review.

So in threaded apps it is ~2x faster than a 4770k, awesome.
But in most games performance difference is not that great ~10-20 fps or so?
So for a WS this is a great platform, for gaming with 2 gpu's or less Z87/Z97 is probably the better option unless you want every last possible frame.

games in 2015 -2016 will wreak havoc on z87 /z97, with this you're more future-proof. (haswell-e)

Nice review by the way.

Fixed, thanks man.

thanks for the review,great cpu...:supercool

Holy crap... 8 cores 16 threads. First thing I looked up in the review was how the task manager would look. omfg, lol!

I don't believe this is true.

you buy a haswell-e and you don't have to worry so much about bottlenecks in upcoming games VS z87 /97.
imo.

Jeez boss, are you trying to kill us all with all those reviews!? 😉 Thanks!

.. so lame.
Thanks for the review Hilbert! Been waiting for this one, let me tell you.
Im surprised to see the pricing vs performance of the 5930k as I really thought that it would be the one to get, but seems like its not so.
Also, nice to see the performance increase with the OC..
I can now say though that I will skip this and wait until Skylake.. although this new chipset and cpu lineup would crush my 2600k, the gains are not enough to justify dropping 1k plus on a new chip and mobo.
And so, I will wait 🙂

Yikes! That's a lot of reading.

Now to decide which to get, that 389$ for the 6 core is cheap

I was not expect much gains for the 5930K over Ivybridge-E ( 6cores vs 6cores ), same for the 5820K ... but well its so negligible that i can pass over. ( in average, maybe 5% performance EDIT: after some check we are more in the 2% gain, it is even slower on some software ( winrar, H265 k4 encoding ) due to clockspeed.
The only gain could come from the 5960x and simply by the additional core. ( normal )
Finally, the only good thing, is the price of the 5820K, who will let peoples enter 6 cores system for way cheaper of the previous series. with some limitations anyway.
Well, for anyone with Sandybridge-E 6cores and Ivybridges-E 6cores, the only improvement in performance will be the 8cores.
All in all, for peoples who need high multithreading, as previously, this can let you build a workstation for home for way cheaper than with Xeon based cores..
For anyone with 4/8threads processor, it will be cheaper to move to 6cores/12threads.
