Expreview used the processor on an Gigabyte Z270 as you can tell from a photo at the last page of their review. The CPU clocks in at a 4.20GHz core frequency with 4.50GHz max turbo boost with a TDP of 95W. That's 100 More then a i7-6700K's 91W. Overall you are looking at a 9% multi-threaded performance increase over the Core i7 6700K, mainly due to the higher turbo clocks.

Expreview also posted a clock for clock chart, both processors clocked at 4.0 GHz on all cores. Then the performance difference is -0.02% Check out the thumbnails for the results.
