In theory, yes. I was looking to build a new rig, I do a lot of video. I'm running a 2697v2 and 3930k in another (both built around the same time, around ~5-6 years ago). To be honest, I can't really tell much of a difference in using those for those heavy video editing and fx work vs threadripper and newer Xeons I'm using at other places. I'm not saying they're not faster, but there's not much of a noticable, if at all, difference in using those machines.
