Intel Core i7-6700K & i5-6600K “Skylake” Processors Review
Core i7-6700K OpenCL Benchmarks – Compubench and Luxmark
Compubench CL
CompuBench is a unified performance benchmarking tool that gives realistic feedback on the performance of various compute API implementations used for parallel programming of heterogeneous systems. Based on CLBenchmark, the first professional OpenCL benchmark on the market, it compares CPUs, GPUs and accelerators of desktop and mobile devices by their compute performance characteristics.

Luxmark
LuxMark is a OpenCL benchmark tool. The idea for the program was conceived in 2009 by Jean-Francois ‘Jromang’ Romang. The idea was quite simple, wrap SLG inside an easy to use graphical user interface and use it as a benchmark for OpenCL. 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?
