Differences
Reasons to consider the Intel Core i7-5820K
- CPU is newer: launch date 1 year(s) 11 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- 4 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 2
- 10 more threads: 12 vs 2
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 22 nm vs 32 nm
- 2.4x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- Around 49% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1993 vs 1338
- 7.2x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 9841 vs 1363
- 2.2x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 922 vs 425
- 8.6x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 5516 vs 638
