>nothing that uses the new instruction sets There are no new instructions in Boardwell-E. It doesn't support AVX512, and AVX2/1 are both part of stock Boardwell and Haskell. The new MPX extensions are only in Skylake as well. Furthermore MPX isn't designed to increase compute, but help make bounds checking faster. |

The benchmarks for the 6950X show 2 times or higher the performance in winrar and various encoding benchmarks. almost 2 times the performance boost in ray tracing, and about the same one in blender.
This review is some what flawed they've selected all the wrong benchmarks, very few real world workstation / professional applications and their gaming benchmarks were completely wrong.
A gamer doesn't buy a 6+ core CPU to get better FPS they buy it to CPU encode on OBS or other streaming surface while gaming so a benchmark for any E series CPU should include that if you want to focus on gaming. If not there is no reason to post any gaming benchmarks Mainstream Core i7/i5 would always be better because even the best multi-threaded games out there don't scale with anything more than 3-4 cores and higher single core performance is king as far as gaming goes even in DX/Vulcan benchmarks.
