The Core i7-6700K was benchmarked with DDR4-2133 retentivity installed while all Haswell chips were paired with DDR3-2400 retention. The loftier-speed DDR3 dual-aqueduct retentivity allowed the Cadre i7-4790K to achieve a bandwidth of 30GB/s while the Cadre i7-6700K was limited to but 26.4GB/s.

Despite operating at similar clock speeds, the Core i7-6700K has a distinct advantage over the 4790K when comparing L2 and L3 enshroud performance. Hither the 6700K was 26% faster when comparison L2 performance and 36% faster when comparison L3 cache performance. The 6700K was also able to match the L2 cache functioning of the 5960X while crushing its L3 performance.
