i7 2600k vs. i7 990x

I wanted to know, which one is better, Intel Core i7 2600k vs. i7 990x?

Definitely i7-990x is the winner.

Not in every area.

They are different, price wise & obviously performance wise. So its better now to compare them.
But obviously, 2600K is better value for money than 990x.

Guys can you please compare their specs!

For an example;

Cores/Threads - ???
Clock Speed/Turbo Boost Speed - ???GHz
etc.

You are right. Also, on comparing the specs, maybe 2 x i7 2600k will prove better than a single i7 990x, both in performence and value for money.

Doing comparions like these may lead to better configured PCs.

I am getting confused;

Bus/Core Ratio - 26 vs. 34
Bus Type - QPI vs. DMI
System Bus - 6.4 GT/s vs. 5 GT/s

Please reply! :evil:

but do you know both uses totally different architecture?

Yeah. Core to Core or Per MHz Performance of 2600K is better than 990X for the same reason. Thats why the 4 Core performs almost equally in many benches with the 6 Core 990x and costs one fourth

according to me 2600k is better.so go for it.

IF OP have created this thread because he wants to buy one of these two, then he must go for i7-2600K.

For Gaming Purpose I suggest 2600K is Better than 990x
So if you want it for hardcore gaming.......Go for 2600K

Addition: 995x beats all in everything. (not to mention in its price too.

)

those 990X,995X processors are just for show off.2600k is the real world winner.

intel always launches these kind of processors(like 990x) every time they launch a processor line
and these types of processors are solely to tell the world "Look guys..this the the real beast in the world"

I wont honestly recommend anyone to go for these types of products because the difference between the price is insanely large

and not to mention, the value for money and performance per watt matters most of the time....not the over-hyped benchmark results

agreed 100%

But there are some people who are interested in show off. Not to mention, the price.
