No proof there, nothing more than the usual marketing blabla. You are sold into marketing claims it seems. "Up to" doesn't say anything. It requires just one cherry picked benchmark with a greater gain.
You have to prove that the games I compared improved by 20-30%. You also have to improve that in average of a big game test they improved by 20-30%. You won't be able to prove it because it's simply not the case. If there is a 5% improvement you can be happy.

Another i7-6700k test. Mixed results, some greater gains there but also some worse results. CB R15 score looks rather low, they were better results from earlier leaks. Gaming benchmarks possibly limited by GPU to some degree, apart from pcars maybe. Also a pity they didn't compare the integrated graphics.
Those results seem disappointing actually. Within a few percent of Haswell, no significant power reduction, and runs at about the same temperature as well.
Edit: The project cars data did look good, but since we didnt see similar improvement in other games, or the cpu benchmarks, I tend to think that is a fluke of some kind.
or the cpu benchmarks
Where do you see a temperature test?
Project cars is the most CPU intensive game in their test. Other games might run into a GPU bottleneck to some degree. To avoid any GPU distortion they should have used 720p instead 1080p.
TMPGEnc and Photoshop
Those results seem disappointing actually. Within a few percent of Haswell, no significant power reduction, and runs at about the same temperature as well.

Might or might not be an isolated case but I've never seen 4-core Haswell beating 6 core Ivy Bridge-E/Sandy Bridge-E @ CPU video converting, while Skylake-S was faster than Haswell-E here. The Photoshop result is very good too, remmember Core i7 6700K has a lower Turbo clock than Core i7 4790K (4.2GHz vs 4.4GHz). And in the only CPU limited game tested (Project Cars) Skylake-S gave an indication of what to expect.
yeah looking at those graphs again, it does seem to be a decent improvement. For some reason, I thought that Photoshop score being lower was actually worse.
From what I gather, Devil's Canyon is pretty good at sustaining its peak turbo speed, so possibly Skylake is a lot more conservative in that regard (on top of having a lower top speed to begin with).
http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2015/...tium_Skylake_CPUs_to_launch_in_September.htmlThe rest of the desktop Core i5 and i7 lineup will be released in the week of August 30, and it will be comprised of Core i5-6400, i5-6400T, i5-6500, i5-6500T, i5-6600, i5-6600T, i7-6700 and i7-6700T SKUs.
According to the latest information from our sources, the launch date has been finalized as September 1, 2015. In addition to Core i5 and i7 products, Intel will also announce Skylake-based Core i3 and Pentium dual-core CPUs.
Upcoming Core i3 standard-power SKUs are i3-6100, i3-6300 and i3-6320, and there will be also Core i3-6100T and i3-6300T low power processors. As can be seen from model numbers, Intel will continue to offer two lines of Core i3 microprocessors, possibly with different cache sizes and/or GPU types.
New Pentium processors are G4400, G4400T, G4500, G4500T and G4520. Pentium and Core i3 model numbers with "T" suffix are rated at 35 Watt TDP, and remaining SKUs have 65 Watt TDP.
Even though Pentium and Core i3 "Skylake" products will be announced on September 1, they will not be available in stores until the end of September. The same is true for the H110, Q150 and Q170 chipsets.
There's announcement dates, release dates, launch dates and then there's shipping dates. The latter dates are the more satisfying.
The pre-release price for a 6700k at PCconnection while high, is not stupid high like the 5775C vaporware prices.
Does this mean that Skylake-S could actually arrive in North America (possibly in quantity) before desktop Broadwell ships?
that's a steep (read: stupidly high) price
What I'm also concerned about is when I would actually have the processor in hand. I'm hoping to finish my build next weekend at the latest (the 8th). They'd better be shipping at launch.That's pretty crazy-high for a quad-core, since you can get a (true) hex-core at MC for $100 less.
