Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

The CPU-leveraging Cinebench and Handbrake video conversion benchmarks show that the 4690K cannot compete with the Hyper-threaded i7 4790K. That said, the i5 chip's performance is still respectable given its significantly lower retail price.
