performance difference between a non intel k CPU and a k CPU?

GhostPyro · Apr 29, 2014

So I returned my i5 4670k yesterday because i decided to wait for the haswell refresh and i heard the k CPUs are going to be released on the third quarter of the year while the non k versions are being released on may 10th. Im planning on building a system soon so i was going to get the non k version, so will there be any performance difference between an i5 4960 and a i5 4960k when both arent overclocked?

They will be the same... Just the k version is an unlocked CPU that gives you OC headroom.

There won't be any physical difference the only difference is you can overclock the k version and you can't really overclock the non K version.

yeah i know i can overclock the k version i just wanted to know if there will be any differences in the GHz and the stock speed between the two

That's what we're saying there won't be any noticible difference other than the overclocking part.

An i5-4670 and an i5-4670K, at stock speeds, will run exactly the same. The -K version is just a bit more expensive because it can be overclocked.

alright, because i didnt want to wait for the i5 4690k since i have all the parts except the motherboard and cpu and i dont want something not to work and i cant return it, so ill be fine with the new i5 4960 right?

GhostPyro :

There is no i5-4960. You're fine with the i5-4670k.

i meant 4690

Doesn't exist either. If you're going to only play games, then get a Z87 motherboard, an the i5-4670k.

Derza10 · Apr 30, 2014

The 4690 comes out very soon....

If you're going to get a non-k 4690, it would have made more sense to stick with the current Haswell 4670K and Z87 motherboard. You'll be able to get more performance from the 4670k than a non-k 4690.

But no, there is not a difference between the 4690 and 4690k at stock speeds.

i really dont want to mess with overclocking since i have to get all the voltages precisely, im going to leave the turbo to do that part for me
