Is this better than a i7 2700K?

 

EDIT: I meant the i7 3950/3960 sorry.-for the title.

Basic yes, clock for clock perf.

But FSX like high clocks fast rams.

It dont eat à 5Ghz I7 at 4.5Ghz

Thanks Hasse.

There's no i7 3950, I guess you mean i7 3930K i7 3960X, the 6 core Sandy Bridge for socket 2011.

Those are no better than the quad Sandy Bridge (I7 2600K, I7 2700K, I5 2500K) clock for clock and core for core, and slightly (5%) slower than Ivy bridge (I5 3750K, I7 3770K)

 

They all overclock more or less the same, so the main difference is the core count.

Does the amount of cores make any difference if you are running REX with FSX, for example?

Here's a web site I use to compare CPUs...

They compare graphics cards and other things too.
