They're both the same die, and you could undervolt a 6700 as well (motherboard permitting). With the 6700K, you have the option of setting whatever multiplier you want, so you could make it run at the same clocks as the 6700, or slightly lower, or slightly higher, depending on how it responds to voltage. There aren't any real drawbacks with going with the K over the non-K, other than it not coming with a cooler.
In my thread here, I charted the performance per watt curve of my CPU, and found that it peaks around 3.0-3.2ghz when you take into account total system power consumption. Right now I have my chip running at 3.4ghz, which is right before performance per watt begins to dip sharply. Skylake uses different transistors so the peak performance per watt will be in a different spot, but you can probably bet on it being somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5ghz.
