Intel Core i7-6700K vs Intel Core 7 150U

Core i7-6700K vs Core 7 150U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700K is faster than the Core 7 150U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 7 150U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-6700K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. In terms of cache, the Core 7 150U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-6700K. The Core 7 150U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
