I have i7 5820k, which runs on MSI or Gigabyte motherboard.

it is very slow with heavy multi threading, It runs half speed as i7 3770k or i7 2600

heavy mem access is very fast for 5820k,

heavy compute task is fast for 5820k,

the application does not use disk or display, only cpu and memory.

I have replaced both cpu and motherboard, with no difference.

Hello eshagam,

In order to better assist you, please copy the report for the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm

Hi,

The diagnostic tool did not find any problem

I compared the 5820k with i5

i7 5820k 3.3ghz Operation Per Second--> 5.98121e+006

Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz Operation Per Second--> 3.98747e+006

 

I suspect that all 6 core will be slow on frequent multi threading swap

Hello eshagam,

The IPDT shows that you have a healthy processor, I would suggested that you check how the application uses multithreading, this does not seem to be a hardware issue but rather something in the way the app runs with more cores and threads.
