How much faster is the 4930K? 2x? 4x? 10x? Would a Pentium EE 965 bottleneck a 580 in games? Would it bottleneck a Titan Black? How severe would bottlenecks be?

What? Is that in GenMay?

Yup.

And to respond to the OP - A lot. Numbers? Good luck finding something that measures between the two. There is such a large gap there that it would be difficult to find any comparisons. CPU would be a huge bottleneck. And the difference in speed would be huge. Don't have a number, but it'd be instantly noticeable in any application.
 
This should give you an idea

Topics like this one make me smile. To respond to the OP, in heavily multi-threaded scenarios like video encoding you should expect around 10 times better performance from an i7 4930K. And yes, Pentium would bottleneck a GTX580 so badly that I even find it hard to describe. It would even bottleneck an 8800GTX which came out nearly 8 years ago. :)
 
There is a lot more than just raw CPU performance here, too. New chipset, faster RAM, faster PCI-E, possibly a faster drive and interface (SSD on newer SATA interface). If you do a new build with all new components, you will shit your pants at how fast it is compared to the older one.
 
You should consider yourself lucky:

1. I disregarded your recent promotion to my ignore list, so don't ignore this.

2. Someone actually tested CPU models VERY CLOSE to what you are asking for in this review here:

http://techreport.com/review/24879/intel-core-i7-4770k-and-4950hq-haswell-processors-reviewed/15

The Pentium EE 840 is a stone's throw away from the EE 965, and the Core i7 3960X Sandy Bridge 6-core is also very close to the Ivy Bridge 6-core. This makes the review a VERY CLOSE comparison, and there are tons of benchmarks to get a good feel of performance increase.

Enjoy...or get high on Crystal Meth and atack me with a suitcase full of toothpicks,. I don't fucking care :D
 
When Nehalem first came out, I had a Pentium Extreme Edition 965 system, overclocked to a rather conservative 4.0 GHz (case didn't have great cooling.)

I replaced it with a Pentium Dual-Core E2180.

The Pentium Dual Core was faster for everything. Not by much, but measurably so.

I replaced a $1000, 4.0 GHz processor with an $85 2.0 GHz processor, and didn't think twice about the upgrade.
