Real world difference 6700K vs 5820K

[vectorx5000]

What would the single threaded performance be very different between the two? I plan on playing games like Civ V, BF4, BS:I, and other similar games. Would there be any major difference in single threaded games with the 5820K?

the 6700k will kill the 5820k in gaming

[vectorx5000]

the 6700k will kill the 5820k in gaming

By how much?

this basicly sums it up.

 

single core the 6700k will win by about 34%

quad core the 6700k will win by about 19%

multi-core (using all cores) the 5820k will win by about 21%

if you have a GPU to back it up offcourse.

*kill* is not the right word

 

you may have 5% better performance with a 6700k over a 5802k but any task that uses more than 4 cores, the 5820k wins out

that could be 5-10 frames

No. It'll still win. The 6700K should beat it in everything up to 4 cores of usage due to much higher single core performance.

"more than 4 cores"

[The Official Czex]

"more than 4 cores"

 

It said 4 cores originally. I guess I quoted it at the wrong time...

Not again. Why everyone compares 5820K and 6700K using stock clock??

 

In stock clock speed, 6700K with beat 6600K in single thread test as well. Are you saying 6700K's single thread performance is better than 6600K? Come on, buying a "K" processor and not overclocking it?

This is what I think every time I see one of these threads, why at stock, all the X99 motherboards have easy OC profiles which generally get the 5820k to 3.8Ghz with a click of a button.

I don't mean 3.3Ghz then boost to 3.8Ghz, I mean it runs at 3.8Ghz under load.

Heck I'm running at 4.3Ghz and I don't even break 65c, and it was EASY to do, this is beating the 6700k in benchmarks, and if you look at CPU loads during gaming it NEVER uses 1 core, you'll see the load distributed over all 12 cores/threads (Thank you Windows 10).

 

The gaming benchmarks can be seen as "margin of error" between the 6700k and 5820k, heck GPU boost could be causing the FPS differences.

Honestly they are both the same price, I actually paid less for my x99 setup than I would of for the a 6700k setup.

 

Plus the X99 is fun to tinker with, more so than my old (now wife's) 4790k system.

I think it's the "oh its newer" factor with the 6700k that sends people that way.

 

STOP TESTING AT STOCK.

:lol:

surprise: if you'd have given your scrollwheel one extra click, you'd have seen that just below the stock comparisons theres an "overclocked" comparison.

 

also, yes, you can overclock them, but you can overclock both of them, and its not a guarantee of how much.

6700K is 34% faster than 5820K in single thread after overclocking. 4790K is 19% faster than 5820K. Yeah, I'd believe that.

 

Oh, 6700K is faster than 6600K in single thread too, according to that site.

reading is so hard...

 

34% is stock...

Still doesn't explain how can 6700K is faster than 6600K or 4790K faster than 4690K in single thread.

 

Comparing stock clock for "K" processors is close to meaningless.

 

You may just compare a stock clock 980Ti to Fury X. Everyone knows 980 Ti beats Fury X but not before overclocking. Because Maxwell has so much overclocking headroom.

so is overclocked performance, because nothing will promise your chip will do as well as the one reviewed.

 

logan had a 4790k hit 4.9GHz on air. is that a promise mine will as well? no.

 

the reason i use userbenchmark as a source is they base themselves on community benchmarks, so they have more than one reference point.

they seem to lign up with most of the sources i've seen.

 

if you insist on proving userbenchmark wrong, please provide an alternate source.

Obviously we look the same thing from different stand points. Let's call it a day.

If u buy a 5820k and don't overclock it you don't deserve the performance it has to offer

U can clock just 4 courses on the 5820 even higher than all 6,

It's a monster cpu and is in a different league
