Reasons to consider the
Intel Core i7 6700K

Report a correction
Much higher clock speed 4 GHz vs 1.8 GHz Around 2.2x higher clock speed
Much newer manufacturing process 14 nm vs 45 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.61 GHz vs 1.8 GHz More than 2.5x better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Significantly more l3 cache per core 2 MB/core vs 1 MB/core 2x more l3 cache per core
Slightly more l3 cache 8 MB vs 6 MB Around 35% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Newer Jul, 2015 vs Jun, 2010 Release date over 5 years later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.77 GHz vs 1.8 GHz Around 2.8x better overclocked clock speed (Water)
More threads 8 vs 6 2 more threads
