I5 6500 Vs I7 6700

Higher operating frequency of the Intel Core i7-6700 allows it to run most programs faster. The charts below show the difference between i7-6700 and Core i5-6500T most important characteristics. These features, together with an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a microprocessor performs.

Intel Core i5-6500 @ 3.20GHz Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz Max TDP 65W 65W Power consumption per day (kWh) NA NA Running cost per day NA NA Power consumption per year (kWh) NA NA Running cost per year NA NA Shown CPU power usage is based on linear interpolation of Max TDP (i.e. max load). Actual CPU power profile may vary. Software BurnInTest

Comparing performance and specs between the 4790K and 6700K shows that the configuration is largely unchanged (same base clocks, cores, threads) but the improved manufacturing process (14nm) brings a small reduction in TDP and a performance improvement of 8%; almost exactly the same jump as between the Ivy Bridge 3770K and Haswell 4770K.
