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 CPU test we see and the i7 6700K is around 60% of the way between the i7 4770K and i7 5820K. The 6700k is 15% more powerful in multi-core and over 20% more powerful in single core than the 4770K.
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.
A more consistent percentage increase over the 4770K thanks to WPrime using all of the cores for both tests. Now the 6700K sits around 15% more powerful.
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.
Thanks to the better core architecture, SiSoft test results are simply amazing with some huge increases over both the i7 4770k and the i7 5820k
