CPU Performance
Cinebench
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s CPU performance. Cinebench R15 is a totally free utility and is available for download here.
The first test we see if the single and multicore performance of the CPU’s tested. At stock, the 6700K is about half way between the 4770K and 5820K. Multicore performance is around 12% stronger and single core is around 20% stronger. When overclocked, it just tops the 5820K.
WPrime
wPrime is a leading multithreaded benchmark for x86 processors that tests your processor performance by calculating square roots with a recursive call of Newton’s method for estimating functions. wPrime is a free utility that is available for download here.
Both of the WPrime tests utilise multicore performance; the overall performance is around 12% better than the 4770K.
SiSoft Sandra
The SiSoft Sandra Dhrystone and Whetstone benchmarks are widely used measures of compute power and performance for a wide array of real-world usage scenarios. You can find out more details on these tests here or download SiSoft Sandra here.
SiSoft really like the new architecture, allowing the i7 6700K to top the chart.
