The improvement over broadwell is pretty sad if that is the case. Like 1-3%.
Edit: especially when you consider how much skylake's score is boosted by memory.

If these are any indication of real world performance Skylake is shaping up to be pretty sad. Then again geekbench is a terrible measurement.

Intel sure has been phoning it in over the years.
BTW, is it me or the numbers here are a bit different than the ones previously posted? ...usually a bit higher

Also, don't think it was already posted (and if yes i'm sorry), but it seems they are still using grease

I know, right? Maybe one of these years, they'll finally catch up with AMD, and maybe, if they're lucky, they'll even be able to catch up with Via...
It's too bad they didn't clean it (or learn to use their camera), but that die looks tiny. Maybe it's just a visual artifact of the rectangle in the center being so much shinier.
That's kind of my point. Ever since they pulled ahead of AMD they just don't give a fudge any more. They don't care to push the envelope. They just... I don't know. Put everything on cruise control. I guess that's how you run a good business? Then again, that's what everyone is doing now.
Never mind me. I'm just kind of bummed that the new and exciting times of the 90's have long since given way to the old and tired era of stagnation of today. :'(
<snip> Also the focus has shifted from absolute performance to performance per watt. For instance, top end performance from ivy bridge to today has increased maybe 20 to 30 percent, <snip>
^^This!
Edit: This is key to Intel's success in the data center, which is their most profitable sector (IIRC).
That's kind of my point. Ever since they pulled ahead of AMD they just don't give a fudge any more. They don't care to push the envelope.
18 Core Haswell @ 661 mm^2 isn't pushing the envelope? Oh you mean they should pander to the people who don't care to buy desktops? There is plenty of envelope pushing. Just for people who are willing to purchase chips. Before you say, it's because of the stagnation that people aren't buying chips, it's the exact opposite. Money stops flowing, priorities then shift. Not the other way around.
How many core 2 chips could get to 4ghz, which is the stock clock for 4790k?
I too was hoping for more improvement from Skylake that it looks like we are going to get, but we really need to quit expecting improvements in performance to keep increasing at the same rate as they were before the product became mature. It is pretty much the same fallacy that we see in sports, or the stock market, or a host of other areas: the idea that a trend should somehow continue forever.

IDF August will have several Skylake related sessions as expected.
