Core i7-5820K 6-Core 3.3GHz is an extreme processor based on the 22nm, Haswell architecture.
It offers 6 Physical Cores (12 Logical), initially clocked at 3.3GHz, which may go up to 3.6GHz and 15MB of L3 Cache.
Among its many features, HyperThreading, Turbo Boost and Virtualization are activated and the processor has multiplier unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked easily.
The processor DOES NOT integrate any graphics. and has a rated board TDP of 140W.
Its performance is overall identical to Core i7-4930K and is thus exceptionally good and enough for even the most demanding applications.
[Please be aware that GD data is constantly refined as more information and reports are made available.]
No its not.
Getting this made a big difference with live streaming vs my 4690k the performance was a lot better in more demanding games and now I can stream on slower settings on obs for a better quality.
I read our local computer stuff magazine,
this CPU ladies and gentlemen is the #1 for price/performance ratio of ALL cpus currently available
Thats not that weird, considering its cheaper than the I7 6700K :P
Best Cpu investment ever imo. :D
I hope the 32GB DDR4 investment will prove worthy - it appears to be already, but still xD
Unfortunately the added cost of x99 kinda tarnishes that ratio.
I hear you keep saying that. No it`s not really. I might go for a third 980 soon, if i had your Z97 system i would have to sell that and buy myself x99 due lanes ;)
Z170/I76700K cost more than X99/5820K, So why pay more for less?
(Though, your system was not that cheaper, for me it was about 200USD, which is nothing when you think over the added life)
that is true, but don't forget all the additional features X99 chipset offers (especially compared to previous X79)
and also 2011-V3 socket is superior, having screws directly - no need for stupid backplates when mounting aftermarket cpu coolers, it's really one class higher above 1150 socket and its successors
Should I change from my fx6300 to this because its bottlenecking my GPU or get an 8350? I just want to upgrade for new games and VR stuff coming out next year
I would recommend the i7-4790K for your GPU. Or wait until the i7-6700K is out and get it ^^
DX12 will take better use of multi-treads, and since future games will support DX12 the 5820k will be supperior compared to 4790k and 6700k's 8 threads in those games. So if you have the money I would go for the 5820k, no doubt ;)
Well I would just get the cheapest of these CPUs ^^ cause there all very good for extreme gaming.
True, the most expensive here are the 6700k, and 4790k might end up slightly cheaper than 5820k because of DDR4 RAM. But the "cheapest" if you compare price-performance cost the 5820k would definitly be the most benefitical buy ;) But as Gustav say they are all amazing gaming CPUs, and far better than the FX-8350 :)
5820K or the i5 4690K. I7 4790K and the I7 6700K is waste imo :)
seriously, this one's a beast,
quality of the socket is really pro-grade, cpu itself is huge, heat dissipation is superior compared to consumer Core i5 and i7, got it running stable at 4.3-4.4GHz on air cooler at 1.275V is just great!
hmm let's start discussion,
which is most suitable mobo for this cpu?
MSI X99S SLI PLUS seems to be really optimized for 5820K…
yeah and what about asus rampage v extreme?
5820K gives only up to 28 lanes so those 5 PCIex slots wouldn't be usable
If the mobo has a PLX chip it could handle a 4way sli…
that's true :)
but that also applies for 1150 mobos
From what I've seen the Asus boards will get you lower voltage overclocks. I got the msi X99S (as it was less expensive) and am happy with it. However I was having a lot of weird USB issues until I updated the USB 3.0 drivers.
Dont get my mobo gigabyte x99 ud4 it has a lot of issues.Get an asus maximus edition.I dont know if i spell it right.But do not underestimate mobo for OC potential future upgrades.Either way you are going to spend a lot of cash on x99 rig…mobo is IMPORTANT.Good luck!
I checked prices today again, and I'm leaning back towards Z97, price difference between that MSI X99 5820K 16GB DDR4 and ASUS Z97 PRO 4790K 16GB DDR3 is around 165$ "for nothing" lol
For nothing? that wrong mate. The price i had to pay in between to get my setup vs the old one wa(mobo, cpu and ram) about 600Eur, and it was worth it, i gained some serious fps in bf4 and other cpu heavy games when using 980 sli. though i had not only got DDR4 (not a biggie really( but i went from 2x4Gb in dual channel, 1600 cl9, to 4x4Gb quad-channel, 2750Mhz cl 14. So i got more ram, and faster ram. also my cpu went from 4.5Ghz (4770K) to 4.75Ghz (5820K)
If i had to pick again, i would. :D Eps. since i changed my x99-s for a x99-e ws for free! :D
I don't know still, I mean, I just want a decent build, nothing beasty :D
Man iknow, but i would have done that. Nothing will be better on the X99 for 2-3 years, and you get 2 cores/4 threads extra, and when Haswell-E oc`s better than ordinary Haswell. Due haswell got the normal paste between the IHS and corem while the X99 cpus got direct contact if i can say it like that.
I dont remember the english word for it, the Norwegian though is `loddet` ^^ :D
I wasn't planning on getting this CPU but thanks to a small sale it was only like $30 more than the 4 core i7s. I don't understand why the 5930K is so expensive as it is just this process with a higher clock speed.
The 5930k has more PCIe lanes than the 5820k. Useful if you plan to have more than one graphics cards or other addons that require PCIe lanes.
Ahh got it. I imagine this is much more significant with 3 or 4 graphics cards.
How will this run dayz and arma ?:)
how well???? :))) this cpu should be enough for maxing games next 3-4 years for sure
3-4 years? more like 5-6 years… given that you update the gpu with it…
But how will it run arma ? :S
Ran arma 2 a couple of days ago with my rig and it went just fine… no dips in fps. So this should run it just fine too.
Nice, just thinking of that the game is VERY cpu heavy as i get low fps with this cpu :S
With DX12 this Cpu will be great for the next 5-10 years.DX12 will use all 6 cores/12 threads gaming will be amazing on it.
9% better with my overclock.
If you're only gaming, this CPU is not worth it and offers no extra performance over the 4790k and 4690k. Even in multithreaded and multitasking the difference is minor. Waste of money for gamers.
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/09/03/intel-core-i7-5930k-and-core-i7-5820k-revie/1
Lets compare results on Cinebench, firestrike etc^^
honestly, if so wrong of you saying that is wont offer any performance compared to the 4790K or 4690K, because, well it does, with my sli setup, a I5 4690K wouldent handle it as nice as my heavily overclocked 5820K does.
I either fold (only on my Gpu`s) or i play games, and this was a worthy upgrade from my 4770K 4.5Ghz Cpu i had.
minor difference in multithreaded programs?
If i was editing or something, i could def. tell a difference between your cpu and my cpu at the same clocks, as i got 50% more cores/threads than you.
hes point was only gaming and you now try to point where the 5820k really benefits from 4790k wich is obvious of 2cores more
I'm talking real world performance and not nebulous benchmarks like Cinebench. In gaming a 4670k or 4690k would present absolutely no bottleneck to 2 SLI 980s. Unless you are rendering and editing all day, everyday (and you're clearly not otherwise you would have more RAM) then 4770k to 5820k was a very unwise and costly "upgrade".
Well, i guess you and i got some different opinions…
So we can just leave it to that without a discussion?
Good :)
Price difference between 5820k and 4770k is very low here so i would take 5820k anyday. Personally it would mean chancing mobo which i should do anyway cause i cant sli with this shet. But i still think im going for new Nvidia 980 ti ? or AMD 300 when they release rather than pair of 980.
how in the world is my cpu 5% better than this?????
Overclockd maybe, i got mine runnning at 4.625Ghz and its 25% better than your (GD)
my OC'ed i7-3770K is 6% better than stock i7-4790K :))
GD rating is messed up^^
Not to be rude, but i belive in a multicore program, my Cpu wont be only 33% faster :P
I see mine as 50% worse than yours, which would make sense, coz you have 50% more cores at similar clock :)
Haha, Actully 0.25Ghz Faster (Evil laugh^^)
Too bad i only game bf really :P
But its my hobby soo… i got an excuse^^
Hmm. dislikes, well its ttank, i get dislikes everywere… -.-
people are jelly 'bout your beasty rig I guess xD
Haha, i guess so XD
I'm not jealous :) But I wouldn't mind if you pass me one of yours 980 xd
Haha, Sorry matey! ^^ I need it for a future (Not 100% sure if i am getting a third one though) Tri-Sli setup :D

is this cpu compatitable with my p9x79 motherboard?
