i7-6700 vs i7-6700k, non overclock single core performance

I'm trying to learn about the differences between the i7-6700 and 6700k in real-world usage. If I'm not overclocking the k, will Turbo Boost result in effectively the same clock speed for both processors in applications that predominantly use a single core?

Hi Kor388,

 

 

If you are going to run applications with a single Core, both processors will run at the maximum Turbo Boost speed. In the case of i7-6700k is going to be 4.2 GHz and i7-6700: 4.0GHz

 

 

The main differences are the unlock feature of the i7-6700k but it is not fully prepare for Virtualization.

 

 

The amount of ram supported and graphics embedded are the same.

 

 

It is possible to compare both processors in the chart below:
