The Intel Core i7-6700K is a high-end quad-core desktop processor based on the Skylake architecture, which was announced in August 2015. The CPU, which is manufactured in a 14 nm process, runs at 4.0 up to 4.2 GHz (2 cores: 4.0 GHz, 3 cores: 4.0 GHz, 4 cores: 4.0 GHz) and can execute up to 8 threads simultaneously thanks to Hyperthreading. Being a so called "K"-model, the Core i7-6700K has a free multiplier and can be easily overclocked.
Performance
Even though the Core i7-6700K has a slightly lower clock than the old i7-4790K (4.0 GHz - 4.4 GHz), the performance is slightly better compared to the Haswell predecessor. Depending on the application, the per-MHz performance was increased by roughly 5-10 %. Even the most demanding applications and games are no problem for the high-end CPU.
Graphics
Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 with 24 EUs (Execution Units), which is clocked at 350 - 1150 MHz. Compared to the HD Graphics 4600 (Haswell, 20 EUs), the performance is increased by around 25 percent. The overall GPU performance is still low-end, so modern games can, if at all, only be played smoothly with low settings.
Power Consumption
The TDP was slightly raised from 88 to 91 Watts compared to the predecessor.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a desktop APU with 8 cores and part of the Cezanne product family. The 8 cores are based on the Zen 3 architecture and can clock between 3.8 to 4.6 GHz. Thanks to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the CPU supports up to 16 threads at once. At time of the launch, the 5700G is the fastest 8-core-CPU with an iGPU from AMD.
The integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 is currently one of the fastest iGPUs and capable of 1080p gaming at low details.
Performance
The 5700G delivers very serviceable multi-thread performance, as of mid 2022, trading blows with upper mid-range chips such as the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Core i5-12500H. Besides, the consumer is officially allowed to overclock the thing, creating a bit of a performance gain out of thin air. Find out more by reading our full Ryzen 7 5700G review.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 7 series APU has a default TDP, also known as the long-term power limit, of 65 W. PC makers are free to reduce that somewhat with 45 W being the minimum AMD-recommended value. Clock speeds and performance would take a hit as a result.
The R7 5700G is built with TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process for average, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
