(Skylake) Intel® Core i7-6700K (4.0 to 4.2 ghz 95 watts) vs Intel® Core i7-6700T (2.8 to 3.6 ghz 35 watts)
Hello,
I was considering the T version of Intel's Skylake processor. However it seems unavailable, maybe/perhaps there is a reason for it. Maybe the T version is just not so great. What interests me about the T version is the low TDP of 35 watts. However the clock frequency is only 2.8 GHz per core, this would give 800 Mhz above my current AMD X2 3800+ which runs at 2.0 Ghz per core. This seems somewhat weak considering the X2 is roughly 10 to 15 years old . Other concerns a TURBO BOOST to 3.6 Ghz questions about this a 1. Will TURBO BOOST make the 35 watts processor exceeds 35 watts ? Other questions: The K version is "unlocked" they say. Can it be "underclocked" ? Is it possible for the K version to run at 35 watts or 50 watts ? For example in hot summers ? Other concerns are reports about TURBO BOOST causing stutter in games. Other concerns are low GHz processors are STRESSED more during gaming... and a better/higher GHz processor might have to work less hard... and might actually run loss hot ?! Ofcourse in future this new processor will probably be stressed to the max anyway if not already... If the K version can be underclocked... then it's pretty much the same processor as the T version... so then it makes no sense for me to wait for the T version... and I could go ahead and purchase the K version. Some motherboards do require some update to set some Fclock variable to 1000 Mhz... but that sounds doable... though other problems with this may occur in future... but even if it does would only cause 5% discrete GPU performance reduction/degradetion. Also Intel and AMD measure TDP differently... AMD seems to be more about maximum heat under maximum load... while intel seems more about heat under average usage ?! So what would be this intel's processors max TDP under maximum load ? Could this processor exceed 95 watts easily ?!? I wonder about real world/benchmark temperatures especially compared to for example AMD X2 3800+ processor For now I mainly seek information about it's underclocking potential in case this intel processor runs to hot in summer times... Also I would assume/would be nice if underclocking can be done via Windows... for example via advanced power settings... my current AMD processor can do that ! It wasn't necessary this summer cause everything was cleaned and such... there were a few safety temperature shutdowns though... but nothing too serious... I'd also be interested to know what GHZ this K version would run if it was underclocked... Reducing fans in PC cases would be nice... but I think that will not be possible with this processor if it runs at 95 watts... I do worry about about new components also hotter than 10 years ago or so... like motherboards, memories etc.. Though DDR4 uses less energy/voltage ? So maybe it's also cooler ? I would expect the opposite though usually hardware gets hotter throughout the years I kinda want a less noise-full system... but I also want to enjoy more performance... so now I would start to worry that 800 Mhz would not be enough of a boost to make me happy... and if turbo boost makes processor much hotter... might as well go for the K version ?!? Bye, Skybuck. |
