Core i7-6700K vs Xeon E-2276M specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2276M beats the Core i7-6700K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-6700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E-2276M has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-6700K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2276M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2276M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2276M 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E-2276M has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700K. The Xeon E-2276M 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.
