Intel Core i7-6800K Review

The Intel Core i7 68xx/69xx processor family is aimed at high-end desktop (HEDT) and prosumers. Based on the Broadwell-E micro architecture and manufactured with 14nm technology, the Intel Core i7-6800K features 6 Cores/12 Threads, which delivers unrivalled performance you need for the ultimate gaming, exploring virtual reality, or creating fabulous content. It comes in LGA2011-v3 socket, works with Intel X99 platform and supports quad-channel DDR4 memory and up to 28 PCIe lanes for amazing expandability.

Intel have got the current CPU game sewn up, but our in-depth guide to the new AMD Zen processors is a glimpse into a potentially very different future. And with it, CPU core count seems to finally be moving forwards. Sure, Intel released a 10-core processor this year, but it’s an insane amount of money and just plain irrelevant to pretty much everyone on the planet. But for the longest time our mainstream processors have been stuck at the quad-core level. You could argue AMD made advances from Bulldozer onwards – offering eight-core processors for a reasonable price – but in reality the core difference between an octo AMD and a HyperThreaded Intel quad is more semantic than technical. Both are essentially CPUs with four cores but different takes on boosting concurrent processing threads.

That’s not to say their relative performance is anywhere near the same. Intel have AMD utterly hosed in terms of speed, so if you want the best processors it’s Intel or nothing. And it’s that situation which is behind the core stagnation of our desktop processors. AMD is not currently competitive enough for Intel to really push the envelope with the CPUs that go into our standard gaming rigs.
