Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark*, MobileMark*, and SPEC CPU are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
Measured by SYSmark* 2014, a benchmark from BAPCo* consortium, which measures the performance of commonly used productivity applications, such as Microsoft Excel* and Adobe Acrobat*. On HD video playback, compared to 5-year-old system.
Pros: If your looking for the best 4 core Skylake CPU for gaming rigs, go with this one and never look back. I Chose this over the 6500 and 6600K. Paying an extra 20 bucks gets you an extra 100mhz base speed and 300mhz turbo boost over the 6500. Your also getting the same speeds as the K version minus the overclocking, which in my opinion isnt worth it just to see a 5-10% fps increase. Idles around 36°C and goea no higher than 55°C under max load with stock cooler. I think this should be the best bang for your buck CPU over the 6500. BUY IT!
Cons: None that I can think of.
Overall Review: If your looking for the best processor to pai with your GTX 1070 or 1080 then buy this now. Paired with my 1070 im getting around 75% CPU usage during intense benchmarkingx no bottlenecks in the CPU dept.
