New more powerfull cpu, same cpu usage

[gasolin]

So i got me a i5 6600k and a budget asus gaming mb Z170 pro gaming motherboard

 

I knew it would give me nitro boost in (car) games, i knew it would give me better maximum performance

 

But im disapointed, it has at 4.4ghz on all core, about the same cpu usage as my fx 8300 at 4.2 ghz (also on all cores) used

when i was multitasking, infact my i5 6600k sometimes hit higher cpu usage than my fx 8300

 

surprised? Yes i know intel is  better than amd infact alot better, 25-30% more fps same games,same settings,same gpu only a i5 6600k cpu (fantastic)

atleast 25% better single core performance (geekbench 4 say 100%), even when thers 8 cores 8 threads in a fx 8300 my i5 6600k score alot higher atleast 50% than the fx 8300 at 4.2ghz

 

At the moment io use my cpu 60-70%, might have used my fx 8300 the same % (or mabye a bit less) but how come? An i5 6600 at 4.4ghz is alot more powerfull than a fx 8300 at 4.2ghz and cpu usage should be alot lower

 

power consumption and gaming (single core perfomance is alot better), but cpu usage is about the same, to high considering it's alot more powerfull

2xtwitch camchat,tv or youtube and facebook,linus forum it can easily hit 90%, amd fx 8300 was never more than 70-80%

Don't worry about cpu usage, its a faster chip.

You're looking at this from a very narrow minded point of view.  Quite literally the way you just explained it made me feel bad.  Regardless, Windows is gonna do, what it's gonna do.

[Mira Yurizaki]

All CPU usage means is how much time per sampling period (1 second in this case) the program was on the CPU. It doesn't mean anything other than that.

[Aereldor]

Compare Cinebench test scores. At least you'll feel better about your purchase, although I can't help but wonder why you bought it.

[Elerek]

Dude, you bought a chip that's less than 5% faster (by clock speed) than your old one and has half the cores to spread tasks out over and your mad your cpu usage didn't drop in mulitasking/workstation workloads? Why would you even expect that?

WHAT?

You had an 8 core cpu running at 4.2ghz.

You got a new cpu with 4 cores at 4.4ghz.

 

How do you expect lower cpu usage in multitasking scenarios?

[Festive]

So, from your explanation, your new CPU is much better in everything but the usage is the same. I cant seem to locate a problem. If youre getting better performance and lower temps/power consumption then why are you complaining.

Cinebench 11.5  8.08

Cinebench  15 703

The passmark benchmark doesn't at all match the stock score (dont know why)

The 5% is just clock speed, I know the intel chip is much newer and has a much better architecture. It also will be much faster when only boosting one or two cores, but in a full multitasking scenario, it's architecture improvements are not going to more than double it's performance per core with the older amd chip...

See : http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-FX-8300/3503vsm7163

The 6600k is 67% faster. which is a  LOT

You can't compare amd 8 core and ghz with 4 core from intel, intels 4 cores are faster, although they are faster cpu usage is almost the same

comparing 12th best cpu in the world VS 198th

I get better performance in games but i don't see any big difference in multitasking, although i had at some point around 90% cpu usage with my I5 i got some short strange lag watching tv 

 

I also has trouble getting my 2x8gb corsair vengeance lpx 3000mhz ram to run at there rated speed 3000mhz, i managed to get them to run at ther rated speed,it wasn't easy  corsair forum

 

Need to take ibt maximum, only had 10 runs of standard

You wont see a big difference in multitasking. The 8300 can be faster in some tasks. The 6600K is definitely faster for gaming and everyday stuff such as web-browsing and opening normal applications. 

[gasolin]

After the cpu usage intel vs amd i wonder if i should have bought a slightly more expensive i6 6700 non k since it has HT and keept it at turbos speed on all cores
