Intel Core i7-3930K

When advising people on buying most performance-oriented components, we usually recommend taking a single step back from the top of the line: There's frequently a bigger difference in price than in capability between the bleeding edge and the next best. That's unquestionably the case with the Intel Core i7-3930K, the second most powerful CPU in Intel's Sandy Bridge–Extreme line. No, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles and shoot-the-moon speed characteristics of the line's flagship model, the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition. But coming in at almost half the price ($583 list versus $999 list), it will prove for all but the most hard-core die-hards to be The Chip You Want if you're committed to Intel's knock-'em-dead X79 Express platform. Even on paper, the differences between the two CPUs look ridiculously slight. The Core i7-3930K has 12MB of cache to the faster chip's 15MB, and a clock rate of 3.2GHz instead of 3.3GHz that can rise to a maximum of 3.8GHz instead of 3.9GHz when Turbo Boost is enabled. But that's about it. Both chips use Intel's 32nm production process, both have six CPU cores that can manage up to 12 processing threads at a time thanks to Hyper-Threading, and both have TDPs of 130 watts.

Intel Core i7 3930K review

The Intel Core i7 3930K is the cheaper alternative to the top-end Sandy Bridge E processor. But then many second hand cars are cheaper than the top-end Sandy Bridge E processor. At nearly £500 it's still an expensive CPU, but currently it's the only LGA 2011 processor worth a look. The Intel Core i7 3960X, that top-end Sandy Bridge E, is a positively preposterous processor. For in excess of £800, you get a chip that's not substantially quicker than Intel's own Core i7 980X of two years ago. Not at stock clocks, at least. Admittedly, the Core i7 3960X does overclock very nicely indeed and in doing so opens up a gap from ye olde 980X.But we've reviewed the 3960X elsewhere and deemed it disappointing, moderately sinister (it's prima facie evidence of Intel carpet bagging in response to AMD's failure to bring out a really quick chip) and largely irrelevant to human existence. This then is the Intel Core i7 3930K and it's not the same chip. Not precisely, anyway. You can see below just how small a gap, in performance terms, there is between the i7 3960X and the i7 3930K.
