Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Core i5-4670K

Core i7-6700 vs Core i5-4670K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700 is faster than the Core i5-4670K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4670K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6700 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4670K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. Despite this, the Core i7-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4670K 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 i7-6700 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
