new cpu

[Snowwolfboi]

hey forum is a i7-6700k cpu better then a i5 6500 as cpu to game with, i have seen on web the i7-6700k just have 4 cores 8 threads and base clock on 4ghz and boost click at 4.2ghz. and a i5-6500 just have 4 cores 4 threads 3.2ghz base clock and 3.6ghz on boost clock, so which of these cpu's is the best cpu to game with

The i7-6700K is unequivocally better than the i5-6500.

so if i get that in my system i will get lower cpu usage and more fps??

i7-6700k is incomparably better than i5-6500.

Not exactly. It depends on what you do. The single core speeds are higher but it's the same architecture, so you might only see very small fps increases. if your i5 6500 is being used over 90%, then you might see a bigger increase in fps.

You will get lower CPU usage than i5-6500 percentage wise speaking, but overall, more of the CPU will be utilized. You gain fps by having higher CPU usage.

Yes, you will get more fps. CPU usage would depend on how the game was written in terms of code. That depends on the game in question but the single threaded performance on the 6700k is miles ahead of the 6500. Meaning even if the game does not utilize all cores, it would still be a much better experience than with the core i5 part.

is 4 cores 8 threads best or is 4 cores 4 threads best to have and i know there generation different

If you have an application (games won't benefit much from it) that can utilize more than 4 cores, the extra threads will improve upon latency in processing data and thus speeding up the process overall. The benefit depends on the application and task in question. In general, more physical cores are better but having the extra 4 virtual cores can be useful at times. 

If you want to know more about hyper threading, there are plenty of videos explaining it in detail.

ok thx for the help but a last thing my big brother said he maybe had a i7-6500k does a i7-6500k even exist or does he talk a bout a i7-6700k

6500k does not exist. He might be talking bout a 6700k.

okay but idk about building pc's the thing i only know is u need a cpu with many cores and a lot of ram, a lot of ram on your gpu and a speedy nvme or ssd with high capacity anything else i dont know about

but when i enter my pc specs with the new cpu in userbenchmark it say HDD (beta) at motherboard
