Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD A8-6600K
- CPU is newer: launch date 3 year(s) 5 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- Around 31% higher clock speed: 4.2 GHz vs 3.20 GHz
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 32 nm SOI vs 45 nm
- 4x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- Around 26% lower typical power consumption: 65 Watt vs 82 Watt
- Around 56% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1537 vs 987
- Around 37% better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 3007 vs 2197
