Those clock speeds are kind of rare for Broadwell-e aren't they!? That is a high expectation imo.I'm expecting ~4.5Ghz on air with decent examples...
if you like to gamble for cheap performance the 6c/12t is the place to put your money. You might get a Golden Sample chip that had a faulty core or you might get a dud since they are all cut down chips. With the 8c/16t I really think you will get what you pay for, Cheapest model = one that has 8 functioning cores and that's about it, especially this early in the run.
But the 6 cores have different models as well. So, it's not like any chip with faulty cores is thrown a big random bag. They are likely binned as well.
