The Intel Core i7-6850K was a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in May 2016, at an MSRP of $617. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the Broadwell-E architecture with Socket 2011-3. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading each core can process two instruction streams in parallel, making better use of available hardware units, for a total of 12 threads. Core i7-6850K has 15 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.8 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Core i7-6850K on a 14 nm production process using 3,400 million transistors. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i7-6850K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.

The Intel Core i7-6800K is a high-end desktop processor released in May 2016 with an original MSRP of $434. Built on the 14 nm Broadwell-E architecture for LGA2011-v3 motherboards, it features 6 cores, 12 threads, a 3.4 GHz base frequency, and a 3.8 GHz max turbo frequency.

The Intel Core i5-6400T is a 6th-generation low-power desktop processor released in late 2015. It features 4 cores, 4 threads, a 2.20 GHz base clock, a 2.80 GHz boost clock, and a 35W TDP, designed for small form-factor and energy-efficient systems.
