Yes, but not many apps take advantage of more than 4 cores. Intel should have figured out a way by now to take advantage of full TDP headroom for only the cores which are loaded. If anything it is these chips that should have the most aggressive Turbo since they have way more TDP headroom than Z97 chips. I think the reason Intel isn't enabling this is because if your 3930K could Turbo to 5Ghz on 2 cores, 4.5Ghz on 3, 4.2Ghz on 4, then people would buy that and not upgrade for 7-10 years. With weak Turbo today, they can claim that 5820K is faster than 3 year old 3960X.

well that shows Xplane being faster on 4770k than 4670k so at least not worse. and in F1 2013 the difference is .8 fps at 90 fps which is margin of error.Actualy Xplane 10, Anno 2070 and to a lesser extent F1 2013 are all running better without HT according to Hardware.fr review (excellent as usual, with tests that goes beyond the usual benches).

The 28 lanes of the i7-5820K has almost no effect on SLI gaming at 1080p. One question that will come from all sides is if the 28 lanes effects gaming. The CPU will cause an x16/x8 SLI configuration in two-way and x8/x8/x8 in three-way SLI, rather than the x16/x16 or x16/x16/x8. We tested at 1080p maximum settings with two GTX 770 Lightning GPUs, and found that the only benchmark that any significant difference was the average frame rates in Battlefield 4, which dropped from 110 FPS with the 5930K to 105 FPS with the 5820K. It makes sense that we should test this with 4K in the future.

Doesn't HandBrake use AVX?It's not prime95 it's AVX/AVX2 instructions that increase CPU voltage so any software that use those instructions will also have the same effect on the CPU. Right now I don't know of any useful software that uses AVX much less AVX2 with FMA like newest revisions of IBT or prime95.

You're still thinking about it as a end user perspective, and not from a server perspective. Servers can use all the threads you can give them as load increases.
Can you imagine 2 cores pulling 140Watts? Imagine how high the Vcore would have to be and that Intel would have to guarantee that such a high Vcore is safe for at least the warranty period.
Can someone actually compute the how high the Vcore would have to be for 2 HW cores at 4.7-5GHz to pull 140W?

It seemed six cores for under $400 would be exactly what every enthusiast wanted (including many in this thread who've already purchased the 5820), and the lack of PCIe lanes has never hurt Haswell, at least for dual-card setups.
Thoughts on AMD R9 290/X Crossfire and PCIe bandwidth limitations?
Already got a Microcenter ad in my inbox:
5820K is $299
5930K is $499
5960K is $899
The relatively affordable price of the 6 core/12T version (5820X @ $389) is an interesting option. Especially in the coming future, when cheaper (but still probably a fair bit more than socket 1150) motherboards and more affordable DDR4 prices come into play.
but at the end of the day some people are buying $200 MBs for 1150, so why not just go with 2011 v3?
