More interesting are the multi-threaded SPEC results. Here, the new generation from Intel is showcasing a +7.3% and +19.5% performance improvement over its direct predecessor. Given the power draw increases we’ve seen this generation, those are rather unimpressive results, and actually represent a perf/W regression. AMD’s current 6-core 5600X actually is very near to the 10700K, consuming a fraction of the power. (OUCH)
