I can, if the K model has a much higher clock rate. For example the i7-10700 has a base frequency of 2.9 GHz while the 10700K runs at 3.8 GHz. The Peak Turbo frequencies are a bit closer to each other, 4.8 vs. 5.1 and the All-Core Turbo even closer at 4.6 and 4.7 GHz. The big question is, how long can you actually run at turbo speed as it depends on multiple variables. For what I've understood we're talking about minutes there, not hours. Thus the base clock is what I look at as I consider it to be a "guaranteed" level in normal temperature.
All true but the unlocked models are also more expensive. About $60 more at last check. I hadn't looked into the clock speeds of the newer Intel cpu's and didn't know they'd be different between locked and unlocked models. Kinda makes you wonder why that is? You'd think they'd list it with a different number. Funny I just watched a vid where derbauer was wondering the same thing about the new 11900k. Actual performance was much lower than older models.
When I built the 2600k machine the only diff between the models was that the multiplier was unlocked on the K and was, of course, more expensive. Even so, with the new ones being unlocked gives you more ability to push it even more if you like.
