6950x was Broadwell-E not Skylake.. usually the prosumer chips on the bigger socket are the last gen architecture (or a generation ahead branding wise, depending on how you look at it). So despite 6700k being Skylake, 6950x was not.
The 7900x is a 10c/20t Skylake part and would be a better comparison in this case.
- VHRanger 6y agoSame reason that 5775c, while being 14nm isn't Skylake either, and doesn't overclock past 4.2ghz and performs worse than a 6700k/7700k
- seabrookmx 6y agoRight. Same manufacturing node but different microarchitecture.
