Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz (Skylake) Socket 1151 - boxed [BX80662I56600K]

The performance per clock (IPC) was again lifted slightly as with every generation in recent years, and the clock itself has risen again in many models - this CPU with four cores clocked regularly with 3.5 GHz, using Turbo Boost 2.0, however, under load of individual nuclei even with up to 3.9 GHz. Thanks to Wi-multiplier is at this CPU but readily possible about overclocking addition, for this reason is also the Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 95 watts. As with Broadwell ?? ?? there is now also in the Skylake ?? ?? - generation the largest variant of the integrated GPU, the stage with rich GT4e 72 Execution Units and own 64 MB eDRAM as fast graphics memory, not only in notebook chips but also in sockelbaren desktop CPUs. That is 50 percent more execution units than the already very fast graphics unit of ?? Broadwell ?? and thus more than enough graphics power for Intel Quick Sync, GPU computing, and of course one or the other game in between. Furthermore, supports DirectX 12 graphics unit with the feature level 12_0, OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 2.0, as well as playback of 4K / UHD resolutions at 60 Hz via DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0 - provided an appropriate motherboard.

In addition to the increased CPU power, the clearly bored graphics unit and the DDR4 support also offer the new 100 series chipsets (Sunrise Point ?? ??) that accompany the new processors, some significant improvements. Instead of eight PCI Express 2.0 lanes for example, offers the Z170 chipset as top model now a full 20 lanes, which also are equipped with PCIe 3.0 still about twice as fast. It is important that, among others, for the equipment with M.2 slots that now - depending on the motherboard - can contain up to three slots, each with four PCIe 3.0-lines, where it previously was only one slot, which in most cases was connected only with two data lines. This allows having a bandwidth of approximately 4 GB / s per slot, the use of several extremely fast M.2 SSDs and enables bypassing the slower SATA 6Gb standards, the there are still up to six times. Even with USB 3.0 lot has changed, from a maximum of 14 USB ports now support a maximum of 10 quick 3.0 standard and not a maximum. 6

It concerns here a boxed version of the processor without CPU cooler! The integrated graphics Intel HD Graphics 530 This CPU has 24 execution units in the GT2 version.
