intel extreme tuning utility benchmark score 300

Intel clocks the CPU Core/Cache Frequency at 4100 MHz on the Core i7-6700K and they picked that frequency as it was best tuned to go along with the processors maximum Turbo Clock speed (4.2GHz) and the most common memory kits on the market today. The CPU Cache Frequency can be adjusted on most enthusiast-class Intel Z170 based motherboards in either the UEFI itself or on the desktop with the Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU). In our original DDR4 memory scaling article the Intel Core i7-6700K Processor was overclocked to 4.6GHz, but I didnt overclock the CPU cache and left it at 4.1 GHz.

Intel has yet to brief the media on the changes the made in the 14nm Skylake core architecture and it turns out I might have unintentionally been limiting some internal memory bandwidth by overclocking the DDR4 dual-channel memory without also overclocking the processors cache or Ring Frequency as some people call it.

Since that article was published Ive received a number of kind and helpful letters from the overclocking community, board makers and memory companies with ideas on how to get even better memory performance. Last week I looked at DDR4 memory scaling from 2133MHz to 3866MHz on the new Intel 6 th Generation Core i7-6700K Skylake processor.
