Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Core i7-6700T: comparison

Comparison of Intel Core i7-6700 and Intel Core i7-6700T: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Core i7-6700 has a higher base clock (3.4 GHz vs 2.8 GHz), a higher maximum clock (4 GHz vs 3.6 GHz) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1.15 GHz vs 1.1 GHz).

At the same time, Intel Core i7-6700T has a lower TDP (35 W vs 65 W).

Both processors match on: core count (4), thread count (8), L3 cache (8 MB), process node (14 nm), maximum memory size (64 GB), memory channels (2), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
