Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

[Head1985]

No.

:'(
I want that 20-40% IPC in games

 

[The Stilt]

Could someone with i5 or i7 Skylake test this for me:

- SMT Off
- 3200MHz (32x100) Core (Fixed, Turbo Off)
- 1:1 (3200MHz) CNB / Uncore
- DDR-1600 Dual Channel
- Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or Win 10 64-bit (with as little stuff running in background as possible)

The test media (NOTE: 520MB): https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8329B08E8413A80E!544&authkey=!ANTCiIl5TmC3DEo&ithint=file%2c7z

The encoder (X265, 1.9+141 x86-64, GCC 5.3 / YASM 1.3 compiled): https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8329B08E8413A80E!545&authkey=!AJHy4jWvW8tbKTE&ithint=file,7z

Open new Notepad and paste following into it and save the file as a .bat file:

start /affinity 0x01 /b x265.exe --pools 1 --preset medium --input-res 1920x1080 --fps 30 --crf 16.0 --me 3 --output Cobra.h265 CobraFHD.yuv
pause

Put all three (exe, yuv & bat) files in the same path and execute the batch file

It takes around 3 minutes to complete. Once it has completed, please take a screenshot with CPU-Z visible.

Thanks!

Exclusive: Core i3-7100U & Core m7-7Y75 (Kabylake ULT/ULX) GFXBench Results

- Intel® Core™ i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz

- Intel® Core™ m7-7Y75 CPU @ 1.30GHz

Engineer sample. 100MHz higher base clock compared to Skylake.

Doesn't look like a lot of improvement from gen 9 graphics,though it might be too early to say with ES and premature driver.But if things are to stay like this it could be just more media/codec handling capabilities alongwith some small refinements.

Fanless Skull Canyon: it's happening

We broke the story, but we lost hope of seeing a fanless case for Intel's upcoming NUC6i7KYK after learning about the i7-6770HQ's 45W TDP and the larger-than-usual custom motherboard (PDF).

Against all odds, we can now confirm that a passively-cooled (Update: third-party) chassis is coming. Stay tuned for the big reveal!

Wow!
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-6770HQ+@+2.60GHz

If they can do that fanless, that will be kick a$$!

 

[LTC8K6]

Well the 6770HQ is configurable to 35W.

They are actually from April 11th and already posted.

Any word on LGA Iris Pro yet?

What do you want to learn from this test?

What do you want to learn from this test?

If there is any difference / the difference to Haswell at the same exact settings.

Core i7-7500U (Kabylake-U) spotted in SiSoftware's database

http://ranker.sisoftware.net/show_d...ab96a781e9d4e1c7bf82b096f396ab9bbdcef3cb&l=jp

Surprising amount of Kabylake results in the latest days. We're probably not far from launch.

Any word on LGA Iris Pro yet?

Not yet. Latest info comes from this roadmap:

Looks like an end of Q2 launch on the roadmap, so no surprise about the leaks. BTW were there more leaks than this single sample? You mentioned multiple ones.

 

[ShintaiDK]

7100U is also shown.

 

[SAAA]

There's a desktop chip too, I've no idea if the scores are good (on the phone it's hard to check):

Looks like the 6700K replacement. Performance is identical between the two.

 

[Sweepr]

@ Dresdenboy, here's a few:

 

[ShintaiDK]

Looks like the 6700K replacement. Performance is identical between the two.

Non K it seems.

3.6Ghz base, 4.2Ghz turbo. Seems to replace 3.4Ghz base, 4Ghz turbo 6700.

 

[IntelUser2000]

Well the 6770HQ is configurable to 35W.

I don't think they should do that. They should make it fanless when its possible to cool a 45W one down. Iris Pro 580 will be hard pressed to perform at better than Broadwell Iris Pro at 45W let alone 35W.

 

[LTC8K6]

I would think HD580 with 72 9th gen eu and edram would have no trouble besting any previous Intel igp?

IP6200 was only 42 8th gen eu with edram.

 

[IntelUser2000]

IP6200 was only 42 8th gen eu with edram.

Yes, at same power. But you are dropping power. You lose 10% performance going from 65W to 45W with Iris Pro 6200. You'll probably lose another 10% going to 35W. Now, they claim Iris Pro 580 is 50% better than the direct predecessor. At 35W, you are cutting lot of the advantages.

The percentages are in 3DMark. In games, it might be worse. Do you still want to pay $650 for a barebone for that?

Even at same 45W, it'll already be power constrained because its on the same process, meaning architectural tricks and further optimizations with better yields achieve the 50% perf/watt gain.

Looks like I was right, just 100-200MHz clock bumps here and there for the 7th gen. Well if that's the case let's hope for a 4.2-4.4GHz 7700K, hopefully with better than 0 overclocking headroom...

There's already a precedent, Devil's Canyon, though I did expect something more than just a feature or two being added to the next gen (9.5?) IGP. If the 2xx series chipsets aren't compatible with Cannonlake, & skylake, then Kaby would be the biggest ripoff in recent memory & that'd be some achievement even for Intel.

 

[nvgpu]

Z2x0/H2x0 chipset will be forward compatible with Cannonlake.

Z97/H97 chipset were launched in the same year as Devil's Canyon & Haswell Refresh and is fully forward compatible with Broadwell.
