Question about the Core performance with the Black Stealth vs Blade 14

Hello,

I'm sure a fair amount of you have gotten your hands on the Core by now and have been using it with both the Stealth and the new Blade 14. How much of a difference is it between the two CPU's? I can see through Firestrike benchmarks that performance varies from not so much to multiple thousands of a difference.

A little backstory about my setup: I have three 1080p monitors on my desk and I'd like to be able to run some games in 5760x1080. I know that the GTX 1080 is able to do that with some older games, but I want to make sure that the CPU in say the Stealth won't bottleneck performance. I don't have any plans for 1440p or 4k so I'm hoping that me sticking to 1080p will help.

 

Totally depends on if the graphics card is the bottleneck or not. Any games that are light on the cpu won't show much difference as the gpu is the bottleneck, but more cpu heavy games like GTA V for example would significantly benefit from the extra cores and higher clocks.

 

Expect the Stealth to be completely crushed and useless at that kind of resolution and that kind of GPU. Do not even attempt to use the Stealth. Your looking at a bottleneck even with a RX480. The CPU in the Stealth is completely ****.

Expect a 25-35% loss in performance relative to a desktop rig with a i7 on the Razer Blade 14. For some reason under firestrike and other synthetics the performance is pretty close to a desktop as the i7-6700hq is keeping up decently, but when it comes to real world gaming it tanks. No idea what is causing this. The bandwidth is not the entire cause of this and maybe contributes 1-5% of the 25-35% performance degradation. PCIE 3.0 4x isn't what is causing the real world performance tank. Only got to play around with it for a few hours and only ran a few things so I couldn't retest anything for you. Sorry. There's a few sites that align with my claims that have their results posted.

To be honest, I don't really plan on using the Core, I'm more so trying to grasp how powerful the 6500u is in real-world situation . I plan on using MSI's docks solely because they use full PCI-E 3.0 x16.

 

Think desktop i3 ivy-bridge.

 

For me, the 6500U isn't enough. It's visibly and demonstratively slower in every day tasks than an HQ CPU.
