6400 vs 4460

[Zilar]

I saw alot of vids that show that the 6400 better is but my question is... Performs the 6400 beter at its 2,7ghz or when its overclocked ?

[m0k]

can you show me where it shows the 6400 better than the 4460?

and no you can not overclock the 6400

4460 is the better option as its clocked at 3.2ghz out of the box

I almost bought the i5 6400, glad I didn't; got the 6500 instead

quickly searched around and it seems to edge out the 4460 

i agree with above and just spend a little more and get the 6500

Are you building a new PC or do you already have the haswell i5?

the 6400 is possible a bit faster because of 5% better IPC, but they should be about the same as the video shows, though the 6400 isn't really worth buying

[AresKrieger]

The 4460 isn't slower than the 6400 unless BLCK overclocking has taken place with certain motherboards, however you're better off getting the 6500 as zMeul said rather than either of those as BLCK overclocking isn't worth the hassle.  If you plan to overclock getting any non k i5 is foolish.

It can boost to 3.3 check Intel ark

Yes but with how many cores?

The benchmarks speak for themselves. Comparing clock speeds across different architectures is useless. 

Except some of the benches include BLCK overclocking which isn't a viable option without certain motherboards, for instance userbenchmark clearly has testers doing such given some of the lonesome higher benches.

I have a 6402P ( 6400 + 100MHz) and it can stay at 3.4 GHz(1/2 core), 3.3 GHz(3 core) and 3.2 GHz(all cores) for forever while maintaining a cool 50 degrees under AIDA64 with the stock intel cooler. And it can maintain the boost clock 24x7 without any issue.

 

The 6500 will just give 3.4 GHz with all cores. Hence it will mostly be not much of an upgrade ( <7%)

Even at stock speeds, the 6400 will be faster. 6400 boosts to 3.1 GHz on all cores while 4460 boosts to 3.2 GHz. Considering the IPC advantage of skylake is around 6-10%, the 6400 should perform better.

 

If you are not looking for a good iGPU, take a look at the 6402p. It costs the exact same as the 6400 and has 100 MHz extra clock speed.

Yeah but the price difference is about 7% as well (if they are both going for recommended retail) so in the case of 1-1 price to performance I tell people to go with the better option always unless it's a drastic price increase (this is about 12 bucks), this is why I would recommend the 6500 and not the 6600

You can. It's not advised due to a lot of downsides, but it is possible.

Over here the price difference is about 30$( around 17% of the price). Hence the reason I went with 6402P instead of 6500. Prices depend on country to country basis.

 

I would agree with you on 1-1 price to performance increase, go for the higher performance.

well then the 4460 can boost also... to 3.4 lol

I know that, I'm just reminding the op that it isn't stuck on 2.7Ghz

Y'all avoided my main question hahaha, is the 6400(2,7ghz) faster (as shown on the vid) than the 4460(3,2ghz) when they re both at their lowest ghz ?

And you didn't see my post hahaha, that 6400 won't run at 2.7ghz, it'll run at 3.1.

 

At any rate, go for the 6400.

You can OC with the right BIOS update
