Core i5-6600K vs Core i5-760 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6600K is faster than the Core i5-760. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. Also, the Core i5-6600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6600K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-760 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-760 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-6600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
