Engineering Sample 506E8 vs 506E8 3GHz


Description
Both models 506E8 and 506E8 3GHz are based on Kaby Lake architecture.

The first Kaby Lake CPU was released in August 2016. It uses a 14 nm process and was the first architecture in breaking the previous tick-tock model. Actually, it is not that different from the preceding Skylake: it has 64kB of L1 cache and 256kB L2 cache per core.

Using the multithread performance as a reference, the 506E8 gets a score of 211.6 k points while the 506E8 3GHz gets 210.9 k points.

Summarizing, the 506E8 is 1 times faster than the 506E8 3GHz. To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

AVX2 optimized benchmark
The benchmark in mode III (AVX2), like AVX1, is optimized to used 256 bits registers beside the second version of the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). The first AVX2 compatible CPU was released in 2013.
