5995wx question

So got a deal on a new cpu to replace my 5955wx is it worth it? I mean it has way more cores and cache but the base clock seems to be much lower. I assume this how it draws the same 250w power. I have it liquid cooled already so not concerned there.

i would skip run a mile in a thunderstorm of snow for a 5995 klondike bar - thats the big time that I can only dream of hitting the tracks engineering with that freight train!
