CPU Performance
Cinebench

Straight into the testing and it’s definitely an improvement, 12% improvement across all cores but a huge 19% on the single core.
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.
10% faster again thanks to utilising all of the cores. When overclocked it is almost as fast as the i7-5820K.
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.
The core performance really shines through here, absolutely dominating both the i7-4770K and i7-5820K.
