We review the Intel Core i5 6600K processor. Developed at 14nm node these processors are very energy friendly. For this review we look at the performance of this processor in a wide variety of benchmarks and situations.

Skylake Core i5-6600K and Core i7 6700K processors for the desktop platform have been released. We test both processors, yet have separate reviews on each of these processors. A new chip, a new package meaning both of them are Socket 1151. The new series Skylake processors are energy efficient, quite powerful and this need to be paired with a new motherboards series. For you guys that means the Z170 and h170 range. In this review we test the Core i5 6600K. An unlocked Skylake processor that has four cores and a slim 91W TDP, that is lower compared to Haswell with its 84W/95W TDP, obviously thanks to the new and smaller 14nm fabrication process.
