In Intels current graphics driver a new GPU naming scheme appeared and I'm pretty sure it belongs to Skylake.

Ugh...I'm getting so sick of wccftech..and look its spreading here..

I don't understand why sites like that get popular. They post articles that contradict the ones they posted the day before. And no one sees it. It's madness.

That chart is old and obsolete. UGH!

People thats desperate for gossip news. And when confronted, they tend to pick the one of the 117 articles that was somewhat close to the result to tell you how great the site is. Same applies for a countless amount of other sites too.

Mobile Skylake launching in August?

Asus: Intel ‘Skylake’ and Microsoft Windows 10 to debut in Q3



Chief executive officer of Asustek Computer has revealed that Intel Corp.’s code-named “Skylake” microprocessors as well as Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 10 operating system will both debut in the third quarter of the year. He also disclosed that his company’s products with new chips inside will use the next-generation operating system as well.

Quarterly sales of Asus’ notebooks are only slightly behind shipments of Apple’s MacBooks. In the first quarter of 2015 the company sold 4.8 million laptops, which is a lot. Mobile PCs represent a tangible part of Asustek’s business and the company will do its best to stay ahead of competitors in terms of innovations and performance. In the second half of the year Asus will aggressively roll-out new models featuring the latest microprocessors from Intel as well as the new OS from Microsoft.

“With Skylake and Windows 10 scheduled to be launched in the third quarter, we are focusing on a couple of models in our mainstream product lines, for example, one from ZenBook, the other from gaming products,” said Jerry Shen, chief executive officer of Asustek Computer, at the company’s quarterly conference call with investors and financial analysts, according to a transcript published by SeekingAlpha. “We are going to launch ahead of our competitors.”

The head of Asus pins a lot of hopes on the company’s next-generation laptops based on Intel’s new chips. Apart from Windows 10, the new notebooks will feature USB 3.1 and reversible USB 3.1 type-C ports, select models will support Rezence wireless charging and there are more innovations that will be announced later.

Well you can roughly caluclate that yourself


Haswell was only a 5-6% IPC increase in the majority of reviews, for games/synthetic benchmarks such as Cinebench etc. It was only in AVX code (not used by most desktop users) that the 10% figure was accurate.

Y'all are spoiled....

Back in the day we saw IPC go DOWN with new gens...

Tualatin -> Williamette
Northwood -> Prescott

I kid, I kid....

We made the sacrifices, and made do with those CPUs, so that the young punks of today could have better ones.

When Intel started playing with the P4 uArch, I just switched over to AMD and rode their train for a while (though, the X2 A64s were too dang expensive for my taste).

That graph = false.

There it shows Haswell gains greater than Sandy Bridge. Ridiculous. Sandy Bridge is shown there for 10% while it got 15%+. Haswell is shown 10%+ while it got 7-10%.

If mobile Skylake arrives in August (based on ASUS CEO statement) then Broadwell might really have a shorter lifespan. That would explain why Apple and some other OEMs decided to realease minor Broadwell refreshes of their Haswell stuff, some companies almost skipped Broadwell.

Skylake-Y should be out by the time Apple A9X arrives.

Shorter lifetime for Broadwell is pretty clear since months. This is exactly what Roadmaps told us, so this could be still accurate roughly.

Sandy got a large clock bump but was around 10%. Haswell is also around 10%.

Sandy Bridge was close to 15% at the same clock in tests. Check reviews from CB, ht4u, ixbt, hardware.fr....

Well, most tests are done with HT on. This graph isn't going to match what is essential an effective 'IPC' per core w/SMT that you'll find in lots of review sites.

Most users aren't looking for SPECint_rate scores for single core w/o HT and single core w/HT type results - so PC enthusiast sites don't run those kind of tests (at least I haven't seen that lately).

Perhaps CPUs and motherboards will be available in some stores before the official introduction at IDF?
