![]() Unsurprisingly, the six- and eight-core Haswell-E chips top the performance chart, however Skylake's modern architecture and support for fast DDR4 memory allow the stock-clocked 6700K to leapfrog the overclocked 4790K in our archival test. Remove the frequency shackles from Haswell-E's lowest-cost, six-core chip and the beast opens up a comfortable performance lead of 22%.ħ-Zip loves fast cores and functions well with hyper-threading. ![]() Switching the reference point to pricing similarities, it takes a 1.1GHz operating speed benefit for the almost identically-priced 6700K to match the performance of a stock-clocked Haswell-E 5820K. Pushed forward by its newer micro-architecture, the overclocked four-core i5-6600K is nipping at the heels of a stock-clocked, hyper-threading 4790K. Our Handbrake conversion test registers the Skylake i7 with a distinctive performance lead over Devil's Canyon's 4790K. A high operating frequency wins the game with Super Pi, but Skylake manages to open a clock-for-clock lead over the Haswell architecture. Super Pi's single-threaded workload continues to shine a positive light on the Skylake architecture. Skylake's architectural benefits are indicated by the 3.9GHz i5-6600K nearing the performance of an £800 4.4GHz 5960X and the 6700K almost matching the overclocked 4790K while sporting a 500MHz speed deficit. The highly-overclocked 6600K and 6700K chips take assertive performance leads with only a 4.7GHz 4790K left to split them from the stock-clocked 6700K. The i5 puts in positive numbers, although Cinebench shows off the benefit that extra cache and hyper-threading cores deliver to rendering workloads.Ĭinebench's single-core rendering test is perhaps one of the best ways to show Skylake's IPC improvements. With the Skylake and Devil's Canyon i7 CPUs both overclocked to 4.7GHz, Intel's new 14nm part outperforms yesteryear's LGA 1150 fan favourite by just over 9%. Despite its 200MHz speed deficit, the stock-clocked 6700K manages to outperform the Devil's Canyon 4790K by 4%. The Skylake CPUs make a positive start in Cinebench's multi-core rendering test. We used the built in benchmark to indicate theoretical 7-Zip performance and we also manually archive a 1.23GB MP4 game recording. We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 1.23GB 1080P game recording using the High Profile setting and MP4 container. We used the 32M test in Super Pi to analyse single-threaded performance. The best processors are selected according to popularity and speed in benchmarks as well as the price-performance ratio.We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 to test single and multi-core performance. The leaderboards are always up to date and are regularly updated by us. ![]() ![]() In our leaderboards, we have clearly compiled the best processors for specific categories for you. The 14-nanometer Intel Core i5-6600K was released in the third quarter of 2015 and is based on Intels "Skylake" architecture. PCI-Express is integrated in version 3.0. Which RAM can be installed depends on the selected mainboard. In the main memory, the processor supports DDR3 main memory modules with up to 1600 megahertz and DDR4 main memory modules with up to 2133 megahertz. With its 24 execution units, the graphics unit supports Microsofts DirectX version 12.0 and the open programming interface "OpenGL" version 4.5. The GPU of the Intel Core i5-6600K enables a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2304 60Hz via the DisplayPort and at least 4096 x 2304 24Hz via HDMI. This graphics unit has a base clock frequency of 350 megahertz and a maximum dynamic clock frequency (turbo mode) of up to 1.15 gigahertz. The processor has the "Intel HD Graphics 530" from the ninth generation of Intels graphics units. Intels hyperthreading technology is not supported by the Intel Core i5-6600K. Furthermore, the housing must also be designed in such a way that the resulting heat is optimally conducted out of the housing. For this, however, a special cooling is necessary, the standard cooler that Intel supplies in the "boxed" version is not sufficient for this. The “K” at the end of the processor name tells us that the processor can be overclocked. When a single core is fully utilized, the clock even rises to 3.90 gigahertz. If all cores are fully utilized, the turbo mode is activated, which increases the clock frequency to up to 3.60 gigahertz. The processor has 5 physical cores with a base clock of 3.50 gigahertz each. The Intel Core i5-6600K is a sixth generation Intel Core i5 processor.
