Is a 2013 6-Core still worth buying? | i7 4930k

Testing the Intel i7-4930K Socket 2011 six core CPU from 2013 in 9 popular and demanding games in 2022.

The i7-3960X review:    • The Ultimate CPU (of 2011) | i7 3960X  

The Achilles Heel of the first generation X79 chips is efficiency; the good CPUs can drink 150W or more power. Ivy Bridge went a way to remedying this, with more instructions per clock and lower power usage. Does this mean you should actually buy an i7-4930K for modern gaming?
