It's a good point, going off the trend from 90 -> 60 -> 45 nm I would have expected 14nm chips to run at or under 1 v.
no pentium with hyperthreading, i could swear i saw that in the skylake lineup, probably mobile. Me likey the idea ^_^

Any update on the expected timings of the next few series of Skylake CPUs? Eg Xeon E3 v5's? Early October for release of some desktop CPUs?
Not all the i5 mobile are Quad Core... only the H Tier was.Yeah, I thought I saw that, and that all the mobile i5's were quad-core. What happened?
So far it's looking better than Sandy bridge for me. I've gone from a 2600k to a 6700k with very similar coolers and I'm getting idle temps around 28c on the 6700k vs around 36c on the 2600k both at stock speeds. The CPU temps are not much higher than ambient in the case which is awesome. Haven't had time to test load temps yet.
Also my power usage numbers look like this:
2600k+z77 mobo: 80w idle, 300w under load (witcher 3 gameplay)
6700k+z170 mobo: 55w idle, 240w under load
All other components besides CPU, ram and mobo are unchanged.
Another part of my test is HT scalling at 4.6Ghz.As you see slow GTX970 causes not so great HT scalling.I already tested it with cpu at 2.5ghz to neglet slow GTX970 and results are very interesting :twisted:
Test system:
i7 6700k 4.6Ghz
3000Mhz DDR4 CL15 1T
GTX970 1500/8000
win 10
Same test method like in previous test http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=37684080&postcount=4726

Skylake-H Core i7 6700HQ and Core i7 6820HQ Tested (NotebookCheck)
Some results here: www.notebookcheck.com/Skylake-fuer-Notebooks-Core-i7-6700HQ-und-i7-6820HK-im-Test.150722.0.html
Power went down quite a bit compared to Haswell.
Good results from Skylake!
I disagree. Those results are awful from a new architecture and a 14nm node shrink! My soon to be 3-year-old 22nm i7 3635QM IVB scores 6.38 in Cinebench vs. 7.78 on the i7 6820HQ/HK ==> That means just a 22% increase in performance over nearly 3 years. ~7.8 is exactly what I predicted for these i7 6800 series mobile chips. Yawn, so it saves 5-7W of power under load. Who cares. If we wanted to save a lot more power, we'd move down to a MacBook Air, MacBook, iPad Pro/Surface 4 or even get a new smartphone style mobile device to reduce the power usage footprint. When I am looking for a possible upgrade from my IVB i7 in the 45-47W TDP, I see nothing attractive about the locked mobile Skylake i7s.
For i7 4700/4800/4900/5700 users, mobile Skylake is basically a failure of an upgrade unless they buy a laptop with the HK series where they can overclock to 4.0Ghz (but such a laptop is unlikely to be a proper light laptop -> aka 4.5-5.5 lbs 15.6", but more likely one of those bulky briefcase 7.5-11 lbs gaming laptops without Optimus with horrible battery life and basically worthless for productivity/mobility in the real world). The main reasons to be excited about new powerful laptops are GPU performance (desktop GTX980, and of course 16nm HBM2 GPUs next year0, 1.5-2GB/sec PCIe SSDs, superior screens with GSync, etc. The 1st generation i7 mobile Skylake SKUs are total duds imho as a viable upgrade paths from any modern i7 such as mine. Hopefully in 3 years Intel will actually improve single-threaded performance by 50% and possibly gives us a 6-core i7 in the 45W-47W TDP laptop segment so it'll finally be worthwhile to actually upgrade from IVB/SB laptops.
Guys, Is this BS? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9788452&CatId=11862
I want the non k version, but I thought it wasn't to be released until the 27th?
And yes, I know its tigerdirect.
Do you have performance numbers at that clock speed?Another part of my test is HT scalling at 4.6Ghz.As you see slow GTX970 causes not so great HT scalling.I already tested it with cpu at 2.5ghz to neglet slow GTX970 and results are very interesting :twisted:
Yes, to your first question

Hover over the red status icon.
A bit surprised by the difference here:
www.anandtech.com/show/9626/msi-z170a-gaming-m7-review
To be clear there was a minor difference in most tests, but every % matters in per clock performance comparisons. So far there's the RAM scaling factor, the FCLK issue/mess and now motherboard selection. Skylake is a tricky chip.
