Intel Core i7-6700K vs Intel Core i7-1065G7

Core i7-6700K vs Core i7-1065G7 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700K performs better than the Core i7-1065G7. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1065G7 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6700K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1065G7. Also, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1065G7 outputs less heat than Core i7-6700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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.
