Thanks for the comparisons! What benchmark should I be looking at if I use adobe premiere? Also, is there a way to look at only the two chips for comparison? Thanks, you've been a big help.
I'm not too familiar with adobe premiere but being a video editing tool, I would imagine that it is quite multi threaded and so multicore benchmarks would be particularly relevant but both CPUs are 4 core and 8 thread and they are similar in performance across the board for both single and multi core benchmarks. Assuming the mobile Skylake CPU has adequate cooling, it looks like it should perform about the same as the 3770k.
You can click the checkmark next to each CPU you want to compare and then the benchmarks you want at the top and hit restrict to see only the CPUs you want.
Here is a comparison between the 3770K and 6700HQ:
I am actually in the market for a similar system so I have pre-ordered the new Dell XPS 15 that Anandtech discussed here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9707/...h-skylake-on-the-new-xps-12-xps-13-and-xps-15
It should be a very impressive system, a 15.6 inch display with almost no bezels (making the system very compact), 16GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe SSD, a 100% adobe RGB gamut 4K display, GTX 960M, machined aluminum and carbon fiber construction, total weight of 4.4 lbs and of course the new Skylake i7 6700HQ. Dell is also said to have worked closely with Microsoft to really improve the user experience, particularly with the trackpad. I have seen one initial review compare the trackpad to the Macbook Pro, which is of course quite promising. I'm still eager to see the first in depth reviews of this device, if there is anything too negative I will of course cancel my pre-order but I'm expecting things to be quite positive given that the little brother of this laptop, the XPS 13 has done very well this year.
