If according to Ian's generational review, broadwell is 18.5% IPC increase over SB.
Let's assume Skylake is 7.5% increase over broadwell (not unimaginable for a TOCK). Then Sky is
(1.075)(1.185) = 27.4% faster than SB
Or in other words, a 6700K @ stock 4.2 turbo = SB @ 5.35 Ghz
This depends on my 7.5% increase assumption. But Skylake should be comparable to topped out SB. And after OC, a very clear winner.
By my math and arbitrary 7.5% assumption number, Skylake at 4.5 Ghz is would be equivalent to SB @ 5.733 Ghz
Yeah I won't base overclocking capability on early ES samples and I wouldn't even run over 1.3vcore (even that seems high) through Skylake 14nm CPUs for longevity.
I'm going to have to disagree. I think you'd be surprised too. Check this out:
And this chart doesn't even include Skylake benches, which are sure to be better than Broadwell. Now is a great time to upgrade your SandyB rig if you can afford to.
The new (many!) graphic options seem bizarre to me...
Don't worry IDC, Intel's misdirection marketing mavens have already succeeded.
Pages and pages of this thread have seen (former?) overclocking enthusiasts debate the average-to-magnificent performance gains of Intel's stunning 14nm graphics technology. Performance so impressive that entry level 28nm dGPUs will be demolished. Again.
The brilliance of releasing globally (in a local sort of way) the Broadwell up-sized mobile CPU on the desktop with disappointing overclocking - but way better iGPU a few months before the next 14nm power-sipping powerhouse, softens up the resistance to the next generation of overclocking disappointment and 3-7% IPC gains.
The masters of die manipulation have already sold us on the vital importance of perf/watt - for CPUs. For graphics processing..well...that's what 10nm is for. Moar iGPU, because, today's desktop enthusiasts are obsessed with iGPU performance and the frame-spitting magic of eDRAM.
Seven versions of Iris!!! This is the stuff enthusiast..uh...shareholder dreams are made of.
This new era of dismal IPC gains and moar iGPUs is so exciting my decoder ring finger is getting twitchy.
ROG MAXIMUS VIII
SKYLAKE Z170
ARE YOU READY ?

I can see some shops in europe already selling 6700K and 6600K.

What about ITX motherboards?

This forum should have an upvote function. +1.
Yeah... I feel like my haswell will last me for quite a time (hopefully as much as 920 lasted ). After build up of IPC hype, Skylake turned out to be business as usual IPC increase. And this time not even AVX2 / FMA / BMI novelty like instruction set is here to make it interesting.
IGP is nice and dandy, i want that in laptop and especially in Surface (X) (PRO) type devices, but for desktop enthusiast Skylake seems to be skippable as long as you have Sandy gen+
Since my FX8350 rig died on me in the sig below. I'm surviving off a Surface Pro. Looking into building a skylake rig now or used 3000/4000k series.
