Intel Core i7-6700K vs Intel Core i7-6700T

Core i7-6700K vs Core i7-6700T benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700K beats the Core i7-6700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700K has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700T. Also, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-6700T 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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. Indeed, the Core i7-6700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
