I7 4790 vs i5 7600k confusion

So I will post two pictures first one will be a mates i7 4790@ 3.8ghz and my 4.8ghz i5 7600k I'm a little confused as to how he achieved a higher score and not even by a little bit, to my understanding the 7600k is quicker as it's allot newer even at stock speed let alone boosted to 4.8. Any clarity would be appreciated.

Strange, ok his cpu score was 910 and mine was 688. Quite a noticeable difference

He has an i7 while you have an i5.

His i7 is a 4c8t part, while your i5 is a 4c4t part.

He has a stronger multi-threaded chip, in scenarios that don't make use of the extra threads your 7600K will be faster. That said, software and games in general are becoming more multi-threaded not less, so going forward his i7 will be superior in most scenarios.

Well goddamn there goes my bragging rights, looks like I'm getting the 10900k in a few days lol

Benchmark is also a bit meh, I downloaded and installed it to have a look. If it makes you feel better my Radeon 7 scores less than both of your r9's!! Heavily weighted to good old Direct X 11 performance at 720p as you do.

What, how's that even possible lol

wana see:

Benchmark is flawed. This is with default memory speeds not my overclocked "gaming" profile. DX11 720p is not what radeon 7 is all about. You want to be at like 3440 or 4k where the card has the performance. Compute counts for little in that benchmark.

Wow that's incredible, look at that cpu score though lol, is there a more reliable bench that you know of?

You could always get him to disable the hyperthreading and re-run the test and see what results he gets.

Good idea
