Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

[phillyman36]

Some sellers really have no common sense, by the time it arrive even Microcenter would of have it available at a discounted price. No sane person would pay this much for it.

I posted that a little earlier in the thread. They are in Japan. Unless there is some sort of money conversion mistake how do you out and out try to rob someone that way?

Robber Hey come here for a second so i can rob you. It's good for you
Victim Ok let me rush over there to be robbed. Thanks

And i thought memory4less was bad lol

Gotta love the amount of money I would be saving with the 30% summer discount. :awe:

Lol savings = Actual cost plus taxes and shipping you will pay when its out.

I have been at work refreshing Amazon and Newegg hoping in stock pops up. When I finally find a place that has any i7 6700k in stock i will report back. Im looking at about 6 places
Amazon
Newegg
Ncix in the Us
Shopblt.com (never heard of them so not sure how they are)
directdial.com(Don't know anything about them either)
Tigerdirectbusiness

Anyone going to IDF? Will we get to see a 10nm wafer with Cannonlake? :sneaky:

Would like to know if anyone is going as well. Can someone put Intel on the spot and see when/if shipments have gone out to places like Newegg and Amazon. Time to put them on blast as they say.

It's not the flash player, unfortunately I think it's driver related. Should get fixed in time.

I recently had to disable HW acceleration in Firefox on both my Haswell systems since after the W10 upgrade I began having these weird systems freezes while playing YouTube videos in the HTML5 player. Two systems exhibiting the same problem after software change kinda points towards the software as the culprit

PS: the irony is I never had this problem with the pre-RTM builds & drivers =))

I've not experienced this, are you running iGPU or what? I have hardware accel on with firefox 39 and youtube seems to act the same on Win10 as it did on 8.1.

RIP AMD and NVIDIA. people are likely stopping to use dGPU since iGPU from Intel are as strong as a GT750 only on GT2. So GT4 can reach nVIDIA GTX 960 levels.

If nVIDIA and AMD don't destroy Intel Gpu with Pascal and Artic Islands... It's game over.

So I expect you don't really play games or you'd understand how ridiculous that is. Even at 1080p, iGPU just can't hang with something like a GTX 970/980, or 380/390x

Not really. Intel IGPU improved a LOT compared to previous installments.
And with edRAM, their IGPU are beyond godly. No one will catch up!

Ps: Notice the sarcasm. Only hoping that HBM de enters on a sub 150 dollar card.

If i increased my wages by 400% but i only had 50p to start with i still wouldnt be rich.

Happy for our friends across the pond who are relatively easily able to attain the 6700k....but kind of ridiculous for Intel to not have allocated a batch to North America by now.

I'm really hoping something pops up this week.

Easy yes.

Cheap no.

Everywhere I have seen dates for 6700K it is very end of August/early Sept. Looks like we need to wait 2 more weeks.

I hope for GT1.5 on Desktop Pentium....

This site have a Celeron G3900, G3920 and G3900T listed on their CPU database for Skylake-S
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/CPU-Datenbank/?kernname=260925

First confirmation that Skylake Celeron is alive?

A bit more fuel to the 'inverse HT' rumour:

+1
Braswell's successor Apollo Lake is rumoured to pack 18 EUs, GT1 is fine for Celeron but they should incorporate GT1.5 on Skylake Pentium at this point. 2C+GT1/GT1.5 die will be very small anyway.

Getting ready for Q4 introduction it seems.

I see it. dGPU will not have much of a midrange market anymore. So they will have to shift their revenue to higher end products. Which will need to be more expensive as they need to bear more of the R&D burden. The dGPU makers will need their R&D to go further per dollar than Intel's.

 

[Shivansps]

Inserve HT whould be very easy to test, download http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3tc/demos_en.php

and run a benchmark test with the same pc with a Haswell and Skylake at the same freq, that game is ST... the ENTIRE game is ST, graphics+audio+AI+logic is on 1 core, and it murders anything on the market.

Interesting. Looks a lot like some Tom's Hardware Photoshop tests. I don't know if it's something like "inverse HT", or something to do with the iGPU.

I think IDF starts tomorrow, so we should find out soon.

A good igp can be used with DX12 to give your 980ti a nice little boost in framerate.

Don't knock it. The better igps are quite capable of taking on a nice chunk of the graphics workload.

There's a demo out there somewhere demonstrating how even an older intel igp gave a 4 fps boost to a high end card in multiadapter mode under a heavy workload.

It's funny because intel's improvements in their iGPU is worth it. You guys laugh because you're high end gamers with GTX 980Ti's (lol at Pandamonia's quote.... I'm hoping that was a joke of some sorts because otherwise... just lol).

But I'll be recommending no GPU setups for a LOT of gamers in the near future as the intel iGPU improves since all they play is games like dota/league/easy to drive games. If intel eats that low end market up.... that's a huge market. You guys may not realize it since you're high end gamers... but the low end market disappearing for AMD/Nvidia is worrisome. Luckily, they have Artic Islands and Pascal and that should widen the gap immensely again.

It's not worrisome at all, it means they will make games more demanding and better looking in the future.

ah a bit antagonistic with the tone but completely correct I think and echo's sentiments I had posted earlier...

A big segment of gamers are only playing relatively non-demanding games like starcraft, dota, lol, and just steam games in general. The viewership and $ surrounding esports is expanding very rapidly, and with it the # of gamers who are primarily interested in spending lots of time on these games.

This segment is purposely targeted by Intel and is likely a reason for pursuing iGPU improvements aggressively. In short time, they will make discrete graphics nonessential for a HUGE number of titles (again, think of steam games).
