CPU drivers aren't a thing.

It's just a way for the OS to communicate with a generic CPU, no need to update, and there isn't even an update available, because CPU drivers don't really exist.

What's the problem with the 6700K?

Your performance issues might be the result of some background app or program that is causing issues. I would check to make sure there is nothing else using up unnecessary amount of resources.
