CCA - Processors - Intel Chip [Performance]
Processors / Intel Chip [Performance]
Intel’s sitting pretty at the top of the desktop CPU performance index, with its midrange quad-cores routinely spanking AMD’s 8-core Bulldozer chips. If you need more power than those midrange offerings, you go to the big guns. Intel’s six-core Sandy Bridge-E processors offer quad-channel RAM, twelve processing threads, and massive cache. By a 53% to 47% margin, our community prefers the i7-3930K, which is nearly as powerful as the 3960X but $450 cheaper.
Intel Core i7-3930K
"3930k, better performance/value by a longshot! Even though this is a pure performance category you could buy your motherboard for the price difference between the two and you'll almost never see much difference outside of benchmarks."

"3960x all the way. Simply beast and glad I sprung for mine"
