Feature-wise the 960 won over 380/380X (HDMI 2.0, HEVC decoding), but this time the 1060 must battle fully equipped Polaris cards. Power consumption for all these new cards must be so low it's irrelevant for most perople.
In the 40 to 28nm transition the HD6970 was "replaced" by the HD7850 performance-wise at a lower price. I will be truly disappointed if the 480/X replaces the 390/X with similar performance and price.
I use LR a lot (on a 4770K @ 4.4) and cannot believe how slow it is. It's the only software that makes my computer feel slow. On average, the pixel count in DSLRs has only risen 2-3x during the last ten years. Still Adobe is incapable of creating a software that runs well on modern i7 cpus...
Something is very wrong in Fallout 4.

"However, reducing the clock speed as low as 2.5GHz had a catastrophic impact on performance, with the 6700K becoming almost 40% slower when going from 3GHz to 2.5GHz."
You are clearly cpu limited. That is so typical when an ssd is paired with a slower cpu.
I'm tempted by the new SKL 4C/4T laptops with the i5 6300HQ. Might be a good choice if you can tolerate the increased weight.
Does your current laptop have an SSD? I have an old laptop with a i5 430m and it's still adequate for light tasks. In certain scenarios, a new laptop with the 5200u/6200u could actually be less responsive than an old laptop with SSD. Of course the cpu helps, I reckon the newer cpus are around...
