Typically you can get a chip with turbo to run all of it's cores at the turbo multiplier with the z chipsets. It's a form of unlocking the cpu that is limited to the turbo multiplier, which would be good to see on the i3 chips.
One thing that I noticed is that Skylake-S is actually quite expensive. Intel says they haven't increased the price, but I doubt it. A Core i5 Skylake costs as much as a Sandy Bridge i7 and only a bit less than a Haswell i7. Price curve for i7-4770K.
My bad, that's not Turbo. Kaby Lake-S Core i3-7300 actually operates at 4.0 GHz.

So I guess that's one way to make up for the lower 14nm yield and shrinking PC market.
(Sure the price increase goes a bit hand in hand with the XP refresh uptick, so I guess there's some supply and demand, but then it neatly for Intel stays high.)

Okay, so it are the ridiculous policies of the economics and politics people.Did you notice that the Euro is much worse to the Dollar now compared to 2-3 years ago. You can see it in your picture, late 2014/early 2015 the Euro decreased heavily.
Comparing those old Euro listing price with the current price is nonsense, despite that Intel really increased the price a bit since Sandy Bridge.
Is that true?My bad, that's not Turbo. Kaby Lake-S Core i3-7300 actually operates at 4.0 GHz.
Coffee Lake-S brings more cores.
Bring it, Intel! Make my overclocked 4.3Ghz Skylake Pentium obsolete...!
Well, the multiplier has to go there, even on Skylake.I'd have to think that's also the case for the i3 T. Still, 4 Ghz is only 100 Mhz more than the 6320, which percentage wise isn't all that much. Maybe Intel will release a 7320 with 4.2 Turbo?
I don't believe that is the case on Skylake.
Kaby Lake-S (desktop) engineer samples out in the wild!
- Pentium G4620 @ 3.8 GHz
Lastly, we have a Pentium model running in action. The engineering sample for the Pentium G4620 runs at 3.80 GHz. There’s no boost clock but the chip has low-clock states as seen in the picture which push the core down to 900 MHz in idle mode. The chip features 3 MB of L3 cache while the package comes in a 51W TDP. The most surprising thing about this chip is that Intel has gone with a hyper-threaded (dual core) design on their Pentium series which should mean a tad bit performance boost over previous gen Pentiums.
Wasn't Pentium the top of Intel CPU line back then?The 3.06 Northwood, which I still have running, should be the first desktop Pentium with HT.
I would guess that was the case until Core came out.Wasn't Pentium the top of Intel CPU line back then?
The 3.06 Northwood, which I still have running, should be the first desktop Pentium with HT.
G4620 might be the first dual core Pentium with HT? Nope.
Brue Computing is doing a great job testing HD 620 (Kaby Lake-U GT2) with the latest drivers in popular games.

Keep in mind this is a Core i3 - i5/i7 should be a bit faster.
