cpu vs cpu

[Some_Tech_Noob]

hello i would like to know if which one is the better option.. the i5-6600k or the i7-6400t(ES) in terms of performance... (i understand the risks of buying engineering samples and i am considering buying one)

you sure that it is an I7? cant find that model

that is basically a gimped i7 6700

... if you have a Z motherboard I would take the 6600k for overclocking

too bad intel locked bclk overclocking in newer bios, would take the i7 if you have a proper board with older bios

yeah ill find a motherboard thats compatible with the engineering sample... if the es is stronger.. but if the 6600k is stronger than the es ill get that

so let me clarify.. ill get whatever what is stronger... and all im asking is.. what is stronger the i7-6400t or the i5-6600k

yes it is an i7 but its not an official release.. just an engineering sample

I answered


if you have a Z board, get the 6600k


if you have a compatible board with the older bios that had unlimited BCLK tweaking the i7 6400 becomes the better choice

Stronger at what? Things that benefit from faster single core performance (most games) should do better with an overclocked 6600k. However a locked 6700 (assuming this is close to the engineering sample) will do better in tasks that benefit from lots of threads.

i have seen other people buy this chip and overclock using the bclk method as Grandmaster has said

You will be lucky to get a 5% OC using that method, too small to make any real world difference.

with the older bios he could have gotten 4 ghz+


but yeah after intel made the mobo manufacturers "update" the bios you can no longer do so

Does anyone know if microcode updates will apply to engineering samples? Skylake had that problem they found with AVX and Prime95.
