Intel i5 4690 vs i6 6600

[rtlobo]

I would like to know if it is really good to change the 4690 for 6600? I have a 4690 with a MSI Z97. I will have some gain to change to 6600 + Z170?
If I only change for a 4790 for example, it will be better? Thanks a lot.

There is no reason to make that change. I don't see any reason to upgrade your i5 at all. Performance would be nearly identical.

Really shouldn't bother thinking about CPU upgrades for at least 4 generations these days. So don't worry about it till Cannon Lake comes out (end of 2017, more likely sometime in 2018).

Thanks for all!
