a while back I uploaded a video detailing the performance differences between a core i5 and a core i7 now they were from the house well line up not the skylake lineup but that's besides the point if you interested in that video you can check it out in the card above me in the case of skylight their fundamental differences haven't changed the core i5 6600 K still packs four cores and four threads which means that we don't have hyper threading on this processor and it over clocks about the same as this 6700 K it's fork or a thread counterpart what I did in this video was overclock both the i7 and the i-5 to 4.6 gigahertz throw them into the rig behind me featuring 16 gigabytes of 3,000 megahertz ddr4 and an AMD r9 390 and then run a series of rendering tests via Adobe Premiere Pro I ran 4 tests with both processors for a total of 8 and I changed one variable during each run using my Moto X pure which I can make a review about if you're more interested in it's only 300 bucks and I get a 1440p screen Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor it's a nice phone if you want to see review let me know but I used this phone to film both a 1080p one-minute clip and a 4k one-minute clip both at 30fps using Premiere Pro I made sure that both clips were trimmed to exactly one minute and then I took the 1080p clip and simply exported it using the YouTube 1080p preset which you can find under the h.264 format I then took this same 1080p clip and then up sampled it to the YouTube 4k preset then moving on to the 4k clip I rendered it as was using the YouTube 4k preset and then ran the test one more time down sampling that clip to 1080p keep in mind I do this with both the i7 and the i-5 so we'll have a total of 8 tests the only two other boxes that I selected under the export window or the use maximum render quality box and the render and maximum death box which I use all the time I use them for all of my videos that I upload so with that let's see how well the i-5 compares to the i7 the results were as expected the i7 is the content creator King from Intel and I do recommend this processor for anyone who does any sort of content creation whether it be video audio photo you get the point the percent rendering time decrease between all four graphs was almost exactly 47% meaning that if you were to upgrade from this I five to this i7 and keep everything else in your rig exactly the same you should expect to see somewhere around a 50% rendering time cut as a result using the Xeon e3 1230 v5 and overclocking that to 4.6 gigahertz would give you almost identical results to this i7 by the way if you're interested in how to overclock that Xeon in particular you can check out the card above me so I know that nothing was essentially discovered in this video I mean you should expect an i7 with hyper-threading to perform much better than its non hyper-threaded counterpart but I feel like reiterating this point because a lot of you are asking me the differences between the i5 and i7 when it comes to content creation because as you saw in the car that I flashed earlier the differences between the i5 and i7 when it came to gaming performance the the change between the two wasn't all that great when it came to frame rates that you saw in most games however if you do a lot of content creation even if you play games on the side but you still upload videos to YouTube or twitch or anything like that I definitely recommend the i7 simply because you're gonna be able to edit and render all of your clips much easier you're not going to have that rough scrubbing if you you know are sliding between clips the i5 experienced a bit of that but the i7 it was super fluid with ten before k is a lot harder for any processor to handle and in that case may be is Xeon or something like a 5820k you would benefit from those added threads but for just general content creation and 1080p maybe even 1440p if you're into that the i7 6700 K is my recommendation if you're wondering where the gaming benchmarks are for this newly built rig don't worry those are on the way I might even include the i-5 in those tests just to show that there isn't going to be much of a difference in most games DirectX 12 being an exception sometimes it depends on the game and optimization it gets pretty complicated but the cool thing is that I have an r9 390 in this rig and I haven't made a video covering this graphics card yet so it'll be interesting to see how well this card fares with an i7 considering that no cpu bottleneck should exist at all AMD is also sending their RX 480 so we'll do a head head between that card and this one and I'm going to see if they'll send me a second ones that we can crossfire them and compare that cross fired combo with a single GTX 1080 which actually cost more ultimately I think that the the cross fired combo has has a chance folks stay tuned for that this is oh wait no I just skip the whole part yeah give the video a thumbs up if you liked it give it a thumbs down if you felt they played opposite or if you hate everything about life stay tuned for a PC build and also all of this other stuff I'm not going to run through all that again because you guys don't have short-term memory loss I hope this is sign studio thanks for learning with us you
