5820k vs 6700k - OverClocking and ingame performance

[jjohnthedon1]

I concur, my last post was October, though I regret the MSI x99a Gaming 7 choice and wished I did wait for the Sabertooth the platform is doing everything I want it to.

My overclock is 4.3Ghz@1.25v, but it will do 4.2Ghz@1.18v.

In gaming I compared the system to my old (no wifes) 4790k Firestrike results and honestly the 5820k@4.3Ghz vs 4790K@4.4Ghz (all cores), the 5820k actually beats it by 1000 points consistently.

Boot times are a little slower than the 4790k, but that's due to the x99 platforms overhead (memory training, clock speed test etc etc), but from the x99 completed BIOS checks to Windows boot times are the same.

that's because of the physics score

Haswell E is based on haswell's architecture, which has lower single thread than Skylake.

 

It's common sense lol

It's not that Easy... Haswell-E is NOT Haswell. It might be based on it, but its not the same.

 

The upcoming Broadwell-E will most likely have a good bunch higher IPC than Skylake, despite Broadwell beeing older than Skylake.^^
