Still, I neither fault Intel (rather do I laud the effort to offer as strange a product as this), and I would not argue the decision to purchase necessarily irrational. It DOES balance several competing 'needs' in a high-performance package and it does have its place. It is good at gaming, great at computation and if you can afford it, offers a great way to dump two grand on a hunk of metal about the size of a silver dollar.
This has been stated so many times but, most of us that are in the market for this chip, we have required workloads and this chip makes sense...but to anyone who's primary reason for owning this chip is something like gaming or just because you are an enthusiast that always upgrades, this is NOT a chip for any of that kind of stuff. I'm sure Intel would love to make that sale but you're probably not going to be very happy with your purchase. But if you're into editing, transcoding, streaming, scrubbing through tons of data, rendering, and still have power in reserve to play GTA V on your PG279Q ROG Swift (or similar) while Premier is running, and have plenty of horsepower to do both without a hiccup, then this is definitely a chip you should consider.
***Update*** Remember there is always the silicon lottery to consider when purchasing a processor. That's definitely going to come into play when you go and overclock these things. Will this Broadwell-E OC as well as the 5960x? NO!! But that shouldn't be news to anyone who actually needs and uses processors at this level. As the rule goes, the higher your core count, the slower your clock speed...because of the extra heat generated from having more cores.
With all of that being said, using my Rampage V Edition 10, Corsair ax1500i, 8dimms of Dominator Platinum DDR4 clocked at 2800MHz (gotta bring your RAM down when pushing your CPU or you will find instability, especially with this processor) I easily am sitting at 4.4GHz @ 1.29v on all 10 cores...but I'd say this one is a lottery winner and I wouldn't expect but a handful of these to get to 4.4 stable on this low voltage. I pushed for 4.5 but didn't want to go to 1.35, after all we're talking about $1700 here...but man this thing is smokin' fast. Cinebench15 scores 2225 on the OC (2 EVGA GTX 1080 FE's w/EVGA hybrid kits OC'd to 2139mhz each in SLI)

I didn't buy this chip for gaming but primarily for running a lot of VMware and Hyper-V labs at home for testing. It chews through anything I've thrown at it so far, and with stock voltage the Dark Rock Pro 3 from "be quiet!" (it's yuuuge) keeps it at a level 60C while under full load. Bumping all cores up to 3.2 begins to show some heat, and at 3.4 the cooling tower can't keep up with the temps beginning to run away, passing 80C in no time during stress tests. It's a given, but you'll want to liquid cool if overclocking.
The Xeon E5-2687W v4 would have been a more ideal chip since it has 12 cores at 3.0 GHz and I'm not overclocking, but 6950x works very well. Coupled with an X99 Taichi board, 128 GB RAM (initially was 64 GB), and some other bits. The Sammy 960 PRO was bought elsewhere, but it is incredible for storing VMs.

I didn't pay opening-day prices on this processor, but it wasn't cheap. I bought it with the idea that it's going to be helping me do some great work (and play) for a long time, and I think that's going to turn out to be true: it replaced a Core i7 980X Xtreme Edition that I'd used for 6 years, and still runs on a separate machine as a video rendering box.

Es una lastima que Intel una vez mas tenga fallas en sus productos, esto va a afectar a la larga la reputación de la marca.
I have to say that the first one I received was damaged in the box but thanks to Amazon, a quick replacement turned things right in record time.
Habe mir dann diese CPU zugelegt und erst mal "Ratio by Usage" von Standard 30 auf 40 festgelegt, sodass beanspruchte Cores direkt auf 4 GHz takten und nicht beanspruchte weiterhin auf min. 1,2 GHz idlen.
Es funktionierte ohne Probleme. Mit einer Corsair H115i Wasserkühlung kommt die CPU (Package) in synthetischen Benchmarks bei Volllast auf 57°C. Im Idle läuft sie auf knapp 40°C.
Die Xeon-CPU war etwas kühler (da diese nur 120W TDP anstelle der 140W TDP des 6950X hat), hat aber trotz der 2 weiteren Cores insgesamt weniger Leistung aus diese Extreme Edition.
Auch wenn die Preis/Leistung nicht gerade gut ist, ist diese CPU das schnellste was der Sockel 2011v3 bieten kann.
使用用途によりますがゲーム用に購入する方は過度な期待はしない方がいいです。
全コア4.2hzにocしてシングルコアが6700k定格と同程度でした。
私はエンコードも動画や写真の編集、加工などしないので完全に物欲を満たす為の買い物です。
ゲーム用で組むなら7700k辺りのCPUにグラボをgtx1060 1070 1080のどれかでいいと思います。
最後にメモリを無駄に128gb積めたので満足。
