I promised you all some benchmarks from our latest bill featuring the i-5 6600 K from Intel skylake line up paired with a GTX 960 from EVGA but I have decided to kill two birds with one stone you see rather than forcing you all to watch two separate videos one detailing just the benchmarks of our 6600 K skylake build which is sitting right behind me and the second covering a head-to-head clash up between the i5 4690k from has well and the i5 6600 K from the sky like line up I'm just gonna combine the book into one video you guys probably want to see this more than anything anyway right I'm alright so very quickly under the test benches of we using two benchmark both of these CPUs in the Haswell corner for our 4690k we paired it with an azrog z97 extreme for LGA 1150 motherboard and two 4 gigabyte sticks of Ripjaws 5 ddr3 clocked at 21 33 megahertz I'm trying so hard to remember these exact specifications here in the skylight corner we have the i-5 6600 K of course and we pair that with an MSI Izzy 178 gaming pro motherboard and 2 4 gigabyte six of a mixer blitz ddr4 now we're originally clocked at 2800 megahertz but that we've toned down to 2133 so that both of our ram frequencies are exactly the same it would also be good with me to know to the fact that both of these CPUs are overclocked to the exact same 4.6 gigahertz with an NZXT kraken x31 the Haswell chip however did require a slightly higher voltage than the skylight counterpart to achieve that stable 4.6 gigahertz so without further ado let's jump into our cpu synthetic test first and then we'll hop on over to the good stuff the gaming benchmarks you you so there you have it folks our 6600 K did manage to edge out a win and most of our benchmarks the main exception being dying light which for some reason still prefers has well based CPUs over there skylight counterparts I really I really don't know why but even with that point in mind the 6600 K still is an improvement from has well but does that marginal improvement justify completely rebuilding a PC from the ground up keep in mind you can't use the exact same motherboards for both of these chips this chipset is different than this chipset and the motherboards required for both of these CPUs are completely different so you have to scrap basically your entire platform your motherboard your RAM and your chip in order to upgrade to skylake does it worth it even if these chips are exactly the same price where you live let me know in the comments below this is science studio thanks for learning with us
