Some 5GHz results showing up.
What chipset I should have on mobo if I plan to OC my upcoming i5 6600K?
Took me 5 minutes to realize it was a sarcasm hahaIntel using their monopoly power to screw over consumers. :whiste:
Agree, I'm thinking in getting either one of those low-power i7s (35W, 65W) or the top i7-6700K. I want the fastest chip with the least power consumption/thermal envelope, the i7-6700 sound like the right choice as I'm quite confident I won't need overclocking for a while but then can't ignore the nice 4.0Ghz (stock) of the i7-6700K and the overclocking capabilities in the future, hopefully Skylake reviews include some of the low-power variants so I can make the decision sooner.
The 35W quads are looking tempting. Fair pricing (so much for Intel monopoly doom predictions) and not that much slower than 65W models.
Beautiful.

Woa, 1.45v on 14nm for 5 ghz, that goes totally against the earlier leaka
Well, the more I read about Skylake, the more Haswell-E looks like the right choice...
Reasons you've arrived at this conclusion? Price? Perf? What you're coming from? for me, Skylake may be a better option coming from Sandy.
I dont believe you will see any difference from your 4.3GHz Sandy to Skylake, unless you really want new motherboard features.
Edit: Especially with your 4K monitor.
"Looking back on the generational improvements since Sandy Bridge is actually rather interesting. I remember using the i7-2600K, overclocking it to 5.0 GHz and remembering how stunned I was at the time. Step forward 4.5 years and we have a direct 18.6% increase in raw performance per clock, along with the added functionality benefits of faster memory and a chipset that offers a lot more functionality."
It is weeks that there s a damage control campaign going on, numbers are what they are and most of the made up screens are easily detectable.
The one above imply that the chip frequency/voltage scale perfectly from 4 to 5Ghz, wich is effectively possible if it is cooled with LN...
Yeah I won't base overclocking capability on early ES samples and I wouldn't even run over 1.3vcore (even that seems high) through Skylake 14nm CPUs for longevity.
I'm going to have to disagree. I think you'd be surprised too. Check this out:
And this chart doesn't even include Skylake benches, which are sure to be better than Broadwell. Now is a great time to upgrade your SandyB rig if you can afford to.

If you were in the mood, you could get that 2500K to 4.8 or higher and have Skylake performance by the end of this evening.

Any word on when 580 Graphics Skylakes are coming? - Is there likely to be much of a difference between say 530 and 580?
BGA Skylake GT4e comes in Late 2015 - Early 2016 for notebooks & Xeon E3-1200.
LGA1151 Skylake GT4e should be out 1 year after Broadwell-K, early Q3 2016 is my guess.
Considering Broadwell-K (48 EUs, eDRAM) is twice as fast as Haswell (20 EUs), >2x in some titles, Iris Pro 580 (72 EUs, eDRAM) could be 2-3x as fast as HD Graphics 530 (24 EUs).
