Intel Core i7-6770HQ processor as a solution for powerful laptops and mini-PCs
Testing methodology for
computer systems of the 2016 model
improvements in processors under LGA1151, the best integrated graphics continue to be sold only within the «outdated» LGA1150. However, correction of the situation is already in Intel’s plans, and, in general, the «party policy» of recent years is such that the separability of the processor from the motherboard (which is provided by the sockets) is relevant once — at the time of purchase it gives greater flexibility in configuring the system. Later, it turns out that the purchase can be operated until the moment of physical failure. And even if it suddenly ceases to meet the requirements before this moment, you still have to change both the processor and the board. Maybe even the whole computer, because for many applications, traditional modular desktops have become too redundant, for which you have to pay with excessive size.
In general, be that as it may, but the sales of BGA processors are constantly growing, and in it the combination of the latest processor cores with the same graphics and eDRAM is already available for purchase, not to mention test laboratories. So, the Intel NUC 6i7KYK, based on the Core i7-6770HQ, which just belongs to the voiced class, fell into our hands. And since this is interesting in itself — as the best offer from Intel, we decided to make its testing and comparison with «desktop» competitors in a separate material. Which is right in front of you.

In fact, the 6770HQ is the youngest model in the corresponding line of quad-core mobile Core i7s, but this is what is interesting — the recommended prices of older members of the family command respect and make us recall six-core processors for LGA2011-3 . On the other hand, recommended prices are often not too close to reality even for processors sold as a separate product (they can be higher in case of shortage or lower during sales seasons), not to mention BGA models that are sold only as part of ready-made systems. So the main problem is often generally the availability of those in affordable stores. When it is solved, you can pay attention to the price. If we consider the mentioned NUC 6i7KYK, then, in principle, for this money you can buy a computer based on any Broadwell or Skylake. Of course, not so compact and, perhaps, in some ways not so functional, but if you need the «sum of characteristics» characteristic of 6i7KYK, then there are no options. If it is not necessary, but simply there is an opportunity (and desire) to purchase a computer of this class, then you can just consider 5775C and 6700K. The first processor also boasts powerful integrated graphics (of the most powerful available to a DIY fan), but is intended for an already formally outdated platform. The second is the most powerful and modern of the solutions on the market, at least somewhat related to the mass, but the performance of the integrated GPU leaves much to be desired. Although, of course, from the point of view of purchasing a gaming computer, the performance of any integrated solutions leaves much to be desired, so in this case the budget should be distributed in a completely different way, and compactness (even conditional) should not be chased at all, but this is a separate issue that deserves special attention. If we consider games simply as an additional (and not the main) purpose of the computer, then, as we already know very well, graphics like Iris Pro generally provide the owner with the opportunity to get acquainted with a lot of games, including quite modern ones. And if you demand «60 stable FPS at the maximum in the hits of 2016», then these are completely different computers.
Since the installation of the SSD we usually use in the NUC 6i7KYK is impossible, and it is desirable to compare devices in the closest possible conditions, we limited ourselves to the two processors mentioned. However, in gaming tests, as well as in the study of energy consumption, we will have other benchmarks, but more on that later. And, since the study turned out to be separate and specialized anyway, we provided all the subjects not with 8 GB of memory (as usual), but with 16 GB. And a Kingston HyperX Predator 480 GB PCIe 2.0 x4 SSD.
Test methodology
The methodology is described in detail in a separate article. Here we briefly recall that it is based on the following four pillars:
- iXBT.com performance measurement method based on real applications of the sample of 2016
- Method for measuring power consumption when testing processors
- Method for monitoring power, temperature and processor load during testing
- Measurement method iXBT.com game performance in 2016
A detailed results of all tests are available in the form of a complete table with the results (in Microsoft Excel 97-2003 format). Directly in the articles, we use already processed data. In particular, this applies to application tests, where everything is normalized relative to the reference system (as last year, a laptop based on Core i5-3317U with 4 GB of memory and SSD, with a capacity of 128 GB) and grouped by the areas of application of the computer.
iXBT Application Benchmark 2016
9The 0002 Core i7-6700K has an obvious head start in terms of clock speed, so it easily comes out on top. On the last 6770HQ, which is predictable. But it should be noted that it lags behind the formally desktop 5775C by less than 10%.
When working with photos, it even drops to 5%, i.e. it is quite possible to get a laptop with a performance equal to that provided by a good desktop today. Of course, 20% is not enough to reach the maximum here, but, as mentioned above, the 6770HQ is the youngest in its family, and the 6700K is the fastest.
The low load in this test did a disservice to the turbo modes — apparently, both the 6770HQ and the 5775C, especially, increase the frequency of the active core very sluggishly. As a result, the 6700K noticeably loses, in which even the base frequency is already equal to 4 GHz. However, he is the only one. Plus an earlier (but similar in purpose) 4790K. But mass desktop models of even the top segment in this test will behave no better than laptop «brothers».
The problem recurred in audio processing, and here the 6770HQ turned out to be the slowest. But among the subjects, and not in the whole market.
Here too. Moreover, the high clock frequency, even «by default» when loading all the cores, generally makes the 6700K inaccessible to more «simple» processors. On the other hand, is it really that important? Are there any OCR users who, in practice, do not have enough of any Core i7-2600? So the latter worked even more slowly 🙂
Archivers (at least, WinRAR) are not the most successful area of application for Skylake at the moment, but 6700K «took» the first place with a minimal advantage due to high clock frequencies. The 6770HQ lags behind this level by 15% — also, however, tolerable.
Everyone copes with file operations remarkably, for which in this case, first of all, it is worth «thanking» the fast SSD: as expected, the difference in drives affects the results of these tests (especially data copying) much more strongly than the differences in processors. Especially fast a priori Core i7.
Skylake’s architectural advantages over Broadwell allowed the 6770HQ to almost catch up with the 5775C. But in equal conditions, of course, the decisive word belongs to the clock frequency, so the 6700K wins by a noticeable margin. But not catastrophic.
What do we have in total? The difference between the laptop (and junior in the line) Core i7-6770HQ and the desktop (and one of the best for LGA1150) Core i7-5775C is on average 5%, which can be generally neglected. 6700K, of course, is faster by all 20% — and now it’s hard to ignore. But, on the other hand, this “does not fit” into laptops and mini-PCs, and besides the speed of the processor part, there are other characteristics. Especially if you really need a small (or generally mobile) computer.
Energy consumption and energy efficiency
We did not directly compare desktop and ultrabook processors, but today we decided to take advantage of the occasion and do it — simply because the i3-6100U, i5-6260U and i7-6770HQ are used in the same line of computers: junior, medium and older Intel NUCs, respectively.
And you can clearly see why the U-series is so popular with other manufacturers, most of which even «scored» on more productive dual-core models of the M-family: they are very economical, so there are no problems with providing both their power supply and cooling. A laptop quad-core is still a more serious unit: albeit about two to three times faster, but it also needs three times more energy, and generates heat accordingly. Moreover, on average, it is no longer fundamentally less than socket desktop models. No wonder that among the latter there are already processors with a lower TDP than most notebook quads: Core i7-6700T, for example. However, they already have no performance advantages over the latter.
And if you still need the latter, then with regret you have to state the fact that nothing is given free of charge, not only in terms of money. Looking at the «energy efficiency» of the U-series, you understand that the speed may be superfluous. But here there is a complete consensus: if the speed of such models is enough, then fine. If not enough, there are appropriate solutions. Also, in general, very economical, on which the company has been working closely for the past decade, which made technically powerful laptops possible. And this is more important than the dissatisfaction of some desktop users with the fact that the productivity of the latter is somehow slowly increasing — they had fast computers for a long time, but mobile users did not. And now there is — cheers, comrades! 🙂
iXBT Game Benchmark 2016
As mentioned above, in these tests we decided to add Core i5-6260U to the charts and results — also Skylake, but ultrabook. But it is equipped with a relatively powerful graphics core with the same number of execution units as the i7-5775C, and the improved architecture is the same as in the i7-6770HQ. But here the eDRAM capacity is only 64 MB, not 128 MB — it will be interesting to see how this affects games, coupled with lower processor performance. In the end, as already mentioned, to some extent, the i5-6260U directly competes with the i7-6770HQ, since it is used on the average NUC — cheaper and more economical than the older one. If, in terms of entertainment, they turn out to be close, and the performance of the 6260U in general tasks turns out to be sufficient (even if it is about half that of the main participants in the review), there will be a good way to save money (at least a potential one).
Characteristically, even in «tanks» the advantages of a faster GPU are clearly visible. Of course, only in FHD, but the desire to reduce the resolution, as it seems to us, is unlikely to arise even among those who exploit “ordinary powder”.
In the full resolution of the «ships» 6260U only slightly «does not get» to the maximum performance, but still outperforms 6700K. The two processors, in which «everything is fine», cope with the work almost unconditionally.
Not the heaviest graphics, high demands on the processor component, but the i7-6700K is the worst of all. The main favorites behave differently: 6770HQ is slightly better in FHD (where GPU performance is important), but only the second, when the opportunity to “shine cores” appears. Nothing unexpected. And this will happen again and again.
As you can see, if we limit ourselves to integrated graphics only, only quads with GT3e/GT4e are unconditionally suitable for this game.
And for this one too. And here the requirements for the GPU are higher, so the 6770HQ leads already in both modes — albeit slightly.
But in this case, the «processor» performance is also important, as a result of which the 5775C is the best, and the 6260U is only partially suitable, and it does not break away from the 6700K so much. For our protagonist, this is, let’s say, an average case — sometimes it’s better, sometimes it’s worse.
For example, like this. Although there are no particular complaints — 6770HQ and 5775C «fight» with each other with varying success, but they differ radically from the rest of the pair of processors!
What is especially noticeable in Thief is that it still creates problems for any integrated graphics. Even the best on the market will still force you to lower the resolution, but other options will often not let you play at all. And here, as usual, 6770HQ is in the first place.
However, often the load is such (or can be made so by playing around with the settings) that you can play in general on everything. But with different comfort, of course. And in some cases, it will not necessarily be so cruel to adjust the quality of the picture.
In relative terms, the results are similar to the previous case, but in absolute terms they are different. Thus, this is already a system: often processors with older GPUs in full resolution will work the same way as with younger ones in reduced ones.
Or even a little faster. And the performance of processor cores has at least some value when the graphics card is more or less is enough . That is, the dependencies are the same as when using discrete video cards: in games, you need to “dance” precisely from the video, and only then … There are many of the above.
Orientation «by and large» should help our integral score. The results of the i3-6100U are generally typical for many ultrabook processors, not only of the sixth, but also of a couple of previous generations (only there they are even worse most often): you can sometimes play something on this. But with less comfort than on a good desktop, even without a discrete graphics card — this should also be taken into account. At the same time, modern U-series processors with GT3e GPUs (there were no previous generations) will already “pull” many games at least in some form, not yielding to AMD desktop processors and overtaking mass-produced Intel products. Always — despite its efficiency and not too fast «processor» component. And the best deals are quad-core desktop and laptop processors with GT3e and GT4e. But still, we must not forget that even these solutions are not capable of what was quite accessible to the one released in the second half of 2009year and even then the inexpensive Radeon HD 5770 — we recall that the result of this video card would be equal to 100 points. There is nothing to say about modern video cards (even budget ones). Thus, a gaming computer is always with a discrete graphics card, but if you need a portable and economical with the ability to play a little , this is also possible.
Total
Of course, even top-end laptop processors always lag behind older solutions of the same architecture for desktops: it was, is and will always be so — in any case, until there is an equality of heat packages. However, the lag of 20% that we received in the tests cannot be considered so critical. Especially when you consider that from a technical point of view, the top in the line is not 6770HQ, but 6970HQ — where all the frequencies and capacity of the third level cache are higher. But in terms of prices, parity is available just for the pair that we considered.
And in any case, the Core i7-6770HQ still has a very high level of performance, not inferior, for example, to the Core i7-3770K or 4770K, which were Intel’s best offerings some three years ago (within mass platforms, of course). That is, a powerful laptop or mini-PC in modern conditions is quite possible, and it allows you to play games with relative comfort even without using a discrete video card — it is very difficult to install it in solutions of this class. True, the study of the new graphics core left mixed feelings. Firstly, the current GT4e has no radical advantages over last year’s GT3e, despite the increase in the number of execution units and the improvement of eDRAM operation algorithms. Secondly, ultrabook processors with GT3e, despite only two cores, a “squeezed” heat pack and other performance characteristics limitations, also already allow you to get good results. But both the first and the second can be explained by the fact that the memory system is already the bottleneck — a high memory bandwidth is extremely important for a powerful GPU. The fourth level of caching weakens this problem, but does not remove it completely, so there is no question of parity with discrete video cards. Yes, and it can’t go: in order to understand this, just look at the power consumption of the latter — manufacturers cannot provide such “greenhouse conditions” for integrated graphics. But they can already bring its performance to a level sufficient for many consumers. So far, however, this level will still categorically not suit serious gamers, so fundamental changes in the market in the near future should not be expected.
