Any good Intel desktop CPU's comming out end of 2015

A Quadcore that loses to a Dualcore won't help either.

This 'best' manufacturing process you speak of has been thus far incapable of producing a quad core CPU.

Doesn't seem that impressive to me.

Pretty sure that is quad-core Skylake.

2.6Ghz, damn that's impressive. The scores are equally terrible, compared to the 4790k.

Probably a very early engineering sample, hence the really low clock rates and shitty performance.

I meant more about no quad cores on the horizon to be released, due to shitty yields on their amazing 14nm process.

At this pace, I highly doubt we'll see a quad core part released this year, that's superior to the 4790k.

Moore's Law is truly dead. We can't even say that the 6month law has been extended to 1 year, or even 2 years anymore. Look at Haswell's release date!

You'll be able to buy plenty of quad core Skylake desktop chips in about 5 months. Chill.

Jeez, (1) we know Geekbench only reports base clocks, not full turbo, (2) I'm sure its a mobile chip, not a replacement for the 4790k. I was just pointing out that Intel's 14nm is clearly capable of producing quad-core chips.

Pretty sure we should start to see things by the end of the summer, early fall.

That cpu is definitely running at 2.6Ghz most, checked it's score in syssoft and there the turbo is reported correctely for all the Haswell counterparts. Why just 2.6? It's the same for all the samples, I saw many 2013 early Haswells who had the same limited clocks and we have 4.4Ghz chips now...

If you normalize to same clockspeed it isn't bad at all, check this:
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/2029330?baseline=1753502
ignore memory score, you have these results (I'm using 4.2GHz for Haswell part):

Test                        4790K       Skylake quad    Score/GHz       Increase (%)
Integer                     4168        2894            992     1113    12
Integer Multicore           17140       13308           4081    5118    25
Floating Point              4173        2991            994     1150    16
Floating Point Multicore    17234       14946           4103    5748    40

That's one heck of an increase if geekbench is any good to measure it. Multicore scores are approaching the point where it's better a quad to a hex unless you have all the threads loaded for some reason.

Interesting, thanks for that

I just hope we see Skylake this year - the lack of information, lack of leaks, lack of engineering samples being leaked etc doesn't invite confidence that the new architecture is mass production ready.

The lack of Broadwell-K news/leaks must also be linked - I still fear something went drastically wrong with these chips.
