st.jimmy thanks found one on the same site with the 6700 - interestingly 6700 looks to very well on ARMA3 but strangely 5820 beats it on total war! - looks they is no oc......also looks like on x planes the 6700 is ahead as well - but don't really know why?

Arma and X Planes are games that are mostly depend on single core performance (if the game is a sim, that's how it very likely id) so multiple slower cores/threads don't help as much. As you can see 5820 is runnin @ 3,6GHz and 6700 @ 4,2GHz in those tests so it lacks that behind. When basically Arma 3 fps rises 1fps per 0.1GHz we could say 5820 is about 4fps behind the 6700 if they'd be run at the same clocks.

Just more evidence for what we already concluded and some new benches.
