Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Intel Core i7 6800k vs Intel Core i7 6700k”.
What’S up everyone how’s it going! This is watch hope you guys are all doing well, and this is going to be a fella video for our 6800 k review that we did a couple of weeks ago. I promised that we would actually do a comparison between the 6800 K and the Intel 6700 K, because I’m sure for most people these are the two processors that they’re going to be kind of interested in because the price Becket is kind of similar and they’re. Going to be really powerful when it comes to gaming and some productivity based applications now, essentially we’re comparing at the high end spectrum of the skylake architecture, with the 6700 K and at the bottom end of the spectrum when it comes to me unu abroad. Well, each ships with the 6800 K, obviously there’s going to be a different chipset for each of these.
So we want to give it a big. Thank you for gigabyte for supplying the motherboards for all of our testing, we’re using the x99 designer e^x for the 6800 K and the z1 70 X design our board for our 6700 K. Both of these motherboards are pretty darn remarkable when it comes to build quality and features, including things like full USB 3.1 and USB type-c integration, as well as PCIe gen3 at 4 X, 4. All of your u2 and m2 SSDs, as well as having full, led RGB lighting integration all around the board. So you can custom configure a color scheme that would match with your rig or PC configuration.
So pretty darn remarkable motherboards check out the links in the description for more detail. Now we’re going to be testing out the processors in their overclock configuration so we’re going to be using the CM master liquid pro 240 millimeter radiator configuration. So this is a nice all-in-one. Liquid cooling solution: that’s going to give us the performance.
We need to really push the processors to their max while maintaining a pretty stable temperatures. Now in terms of the overclock, the 6700 K is set to 4.7 gigahertz and we’ve upped the voltage to 1.3 volts. The 6800 K we can overclock quite as much being a 6 core CPU, so we’re going to set it to 4.5 gigahertz and in order to maintain a stability, we’re going to set the voltage to around a 1 point 4 volts.
Now, after about 40 minutes of prime95 at a hundred percent load, here are temperature readouts again we’re using the same exact cooler on both platforms. So, as you can see, the thermal performance is a decently good on both platforms, but because we have the 6800 K set. A little bit higher in terms of voltage, it’s definitely going to result in higher overall temperatures and for a long-term stability.
We need to keep the voltage at this if we want to maintain that 4.5 gigahertz overclock now keep in mind that the thermal performance and the overclocking capabilities will those fluctuate and vary. So this is all based on the current chip samples that I have right now. Now, in terms of wattage same thing at max a CPU load with no GPU load, the entire system draws about a hundred and sixty eight watts on the 6700 K and the system for the 6800 K draws about a hundred and seventy-three watts.
So not a big difference in terms of overall wattage and power consumption over here now in terms, the raw CPU benchmark results are based on our overclock settings on the Cinebench r15 benchmark, we’re getting about 10 55 on the 6700 K and a 13 61 points on Our 6800 K, so definitely with more threads and more cores. You are going to get better overall performance. That’S pretty obvious.
There same a result. Kind of goes for the Geekbench 3 result when you take a look at the multi-core performance, but from a single core perspective. The 6700 K is definitely quite a bit faster, as you see from the results over here now in terms of productivity and media creation, related tasks based on our After Effects a render test. We got quite a bit a big difference between these two processors.
As you can see, our project rendered out quite a bit faster at around 49. Second, only 6800 K versus it took about one minute. Eight seconds on the 6700 K same thing when going to exporting a 4k video on a Premiere Pro, so it only took about two minutes 18 seconds on our six core verses on the quad core. It took about two minutes 52 seconds now in terms of gaming, based on our performance with the gtx 980ti on 3dmark firestrike extreme.
We got a slight difference in terms of overall score. We’Ve got about eighty three hundred points on our 6800 k versus about just under a thousand points, with our 6700 K. Of course, our graphics score is very similar. It really comes down to the physics core that makes the difference between the six and the quad core.
Moving on taking a look at the synthetic benchmark results for grand theft, auto 5 – you can see that there’s really not a big difference between these two processors when it comes to gaming, both at 1080p and even at 4k 4k you’re. Getting a couple more frames per second on average and a little bit extra with the 6800 K, but nothing really to brag about same thing, kind of goes without playing a Crysis 3. You can see that there’s a barely any a difference between these two processor when it comes to this particular title and again, the results are further mirrored by at the grid. Autosports are pretty much maxed out settings you’re only getting about 2 or 3 more FPS on our 6800 K compared to the 6700 K on average. Generally speaking, a lot of cases they’re going to be pretty much around the same performance level when it comes to gaming. So if you’re going to be buying the 6800 K for gaming, it’s definitely not worth it, probably save your money and get the 6700 K or perhaps even a lower end processor, because in a lot of cases you don’t need that many cores because of the games. Currently, right now are not going to utilize the full potential of all those cores. That being said, if you, of course, you’re going to do a lot more productivity related tasks, the more cores that you have the generally faster performance that you’re going to get as you witness from our particular performance results, but really either Matic guys, and that’s really it. Hopefully, this gives you kind of a good idea in terms of what the core differences are between these two processors when it comes to the overclocking perspective and performance.

Thanks for watching we’ll see, you later take care. .
