Core i7-6700K CPU Benchmarks – Cinebench, Handbrake and WPrime
Cinebench R15
Cinebench is a widely respected benchmark for testing the performance of x86 CPUs. The program allows you to test single and multi-threaded performance as well as GPU performance by rendering with Open GL. Download here.
Handbrake
HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. Download here.
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.
the 6700 and 6600 aren’t on the bioshock chart.
the memory controller has been moved off the skylake cpu’s, so in return you have a much cooler cpu with slightly faster performance than haswell,i was surprised that 1.4v was safe for daily use.i am using the 6600k only because the 6700k i can’t get my hands on yet.
I find that for new gaming builds, Haswell is still the way to go to save money. However, we still haven’t seen the locked processors, so who knows how that will pan out?
