Intel Core i5 10600K Comet Lake vs. Core i5 Skylake / Haswell / Sandy Bridge

The cryptography performance measured by Crypto++ was advancing nicely with these major microarchitecture advancements.

The HPCG benchmark saw nearly double the performance of the prior quad-core Core i5 CPUs tested for this benchmark focused on system interconnect performance.

All of the heavy multi-threading benchmarks obviously saw much uplift going from quad-core i5 CPUs to six-core plus Hyper Threading with the Core i5 10600K.
