Core i5-6600K vs Core i5-4690 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6600K beats the Core i5-4690 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4690 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i5-6600K and Core i5-4690 have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-4690 outputs less heat than Core i5-6600K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-6600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
