The i5-7600K targets high end gamers, it sits just behind the flagship i7-7700K in Intel’s Kaby Lake lineup. The 7600K will likely be the most popular gaming CPU of 2017 (some competition from AMD’s upcoming Zen/Ryzen CPUs, would be very welcome). Comparing the 7600K and 6600K shows that the two processors are very closely matched and comparing the 7600K vs the hyper-threaded 7700K highlights the relative strength of the 7700K for workstation performance. There are no significant architectural differences between Kaby Lake and Skylake so, when fully overclocked, the two generations should perform similarly but Kaby Lake offers faster base clocks, improved speed shift technology which helps CPU responsiveness, and better integrated graphics.

The AMD A10-6800K is a Black Edition quad-core Richland APU based on second generation Bulldozer micro-architecture (codenamed Piledriver) launched in Q2 2013. It features Cayman-derived Integrated HD 8670 Graphics which are a marginal improvement on the Radeon HD 7660D graphics featured in the A10-6800K’s predecessor: the A10-5800K and which outperform the integrated graphics on comparable Intel Core i3 and i5 chips. The A10-6800K has a clock speed of 4.0 GHz, which automatically turbo boosts to 4.4 GHz when needed and can further be overclocked to 5.0 GHz on air cooling. The A10-6800K scores an effective speed of 73 which is okay, but compared to the similarly aged and priced i3-4130, it lacks in single-threaded performance. The A10-6800K is a good choice for those wanting reasonable CPU performance and integrated graphics on a budget. [Dec '14CPUPro]
