"Sidenote - You need to compare the 655K to the 650 and the 875K to the 870 in the charts. Now, the original 650 and 870 values should be roughly similar to 655K and 870K. However what you'll notice throughout some of the benchmarks is that there are some discrepancies. New BIOS updates made these processors faster thanks to many BIOS tweaks inserted in the newer firmware. Keep that in mind if you notice an anomaly."
Read the whole review through before you decide to use it as a link!
875k seems faster due to BIOS TWEAKS
"New BIOS updates made these processors faster thanks to many BIOS tweaks inserted in the newer firmware"
Really, I mean really, no really!
only difference between 870 and 875 is umm.. unlocked multiplier
"We explained you about firmware anomalies. The 875K results here are a bit off... I inserted the results to cover all bases, but rather look at it and then quickly forget it as something is a little off there."
Two pages on and hilbert explains again why is seems 875 is better and says forget that!
This is Hilbert.. a legend of Guru3d, really!
Also look at the gaming benchmarks with the 1090t.. Its the same performance except at 1280
"Now, that doesn't mean that the unlocked K editions are a requirement, no Sir. If you stick with regular air-cooling as most of you will do, then at default the Core i5 and Core i7 series processors can already overclock really well. You might be limited to multipliers in the 22-25 range, but if history has taught us one thing, it is that the CPU base clock is a gem when it comes to overclocking as well. The very same performance levels you have witnessed today, we also have shown you on the original Core i7 870 and Core i5 650 processors thanks to base clocks of over 165 MHz, often even 190 MHz.e a few fps between them except at 1280 which no-one will use with those chips!"
This in hilberts conclusion 870 can OC same as 875 for performance..

Debate is good though
