I also don't get why Intel gave such a low recommended spec on DDR4 RAM speeds when they cripple Skylake so readily and it has such a capable IMC, in the first place, but you've got people giving off silly misinformation to prospective CPU purchasers like this. Both of the "don't waste your money on faster RAM" and "Skylake is inferior" variety.
Looking forward to the 6700K finally being available in the U.S., but I am a little annoyed they're taking so long without reliable ETAs.
Gotta say that while I understand people being disappointed with several aspects of Skylake (IPC increase isn't revolutionary, that TIM sucks, where's the eDRAM?, etc.), I don't understand the hyperbole that surrounds Skylake's release; like people saying ludicrous things like "it's no faster" or even "it's actually slower in gaming" while ignoring reviews actually using decent RAM, IPC, and platform improvements to rant about "moar cores" or something; as if it wasn't enough to criticize Skylake's actual shortcomings instead of confirmation biasing false ones into existence.

Even against the 5820K, Skylake has its place with higher max clock speeds, IPC, and Z170 perks.
What are the Z170 perks?
In a nutshell?

According to the same leaker who has recently made public the alleged Geekbench 3 results of a lot of next gen mobile chipsets, Samsung is currently working on a 12-inch, Windows 10 powered tablet.
Allegedly, the tablet will feature a 12-inch Super AMOLED display, but the source doesn’t exactly know the resolution. According to him, the tablet will have either a 2560×1600 resolution display or a 3840×2400 one.
Other rumored specs are a 14-nm Intel Core M processor, 4 GB of RAM memory and an included S-Pen. The tablet will reportedly be 6.2 mm thin and will weigh 600 grams.
Perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited possibilities of Thunderbolt 3:
Intel says Thunderbolt 3 will bring external graphics to laptops
The lines between desktop and notebook computers are getting thinner and thinner. Intel has announced plans to bring its enterprise-class Xeon processors to notebooks, and offer unlocked, overclockable K series processors for notebooks later this year. Want even more power in your notebook? How about an external graphics card?
Intel says notebooks that feature Thunderbolt 3 ports will be able to connect to external graphics docks. This lets you use a high-power graphics card with your notebook while powering up to two 4K displays (in addition to your laptop display).
Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB Type-C reversible connector. That one tiny Thunderbolt 3 port can be used to connect a docking station that lets you output video to multiple displays, connect an external hard drive, keyboard, mouse, headphones and Ethernet cable. And since Thunderbolt 3 can handle up to 100 watts of power, you can also charge your laptop through its Thunderbolt port at the same time.
Intel is showing off a sample graphics dock with an AMD Radeon R9 M385 graphics card at IDF in San Francisco. But we could eventually see third-party graphics docks that let you add your own graphics card. This could let you buy high-performance graphics cards designed for desktop computers and use them with your notebook. And it could also let you upgrade in the future when you’re no longer happy with that card’s performance

IDF 15: Form Factor Reference Design: Developing a 2 in 1 Detachable Ultrabook™ System

Core i5 6600T Geekbench 3 Score
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3243697
First Geekbench submission of this 35W T model is ~25% faster @ MT than the best Core i5 4590T score (also 35W) and about on par with some locked 84W Haswell Core i5s. Skylake is bringing substantial performance boosts at lower TDPs.

Thunderbolt... the revenge of the dgpu against those pesky igps.
Seriously though, it sounds like a great idea, but is the interface really fast enough for a powerful dgpu, or just for some low level card for hooking up lots of outputs? The other problem I see is that if you want true mobile gaming, lugging around an external card and the associated hardware kind of defeats the purpose. And it still is not going to turn an ultrabook into a gaming powerhouse because it would need a powerful high wattage (relatively) cpu as well.
The Skylake Family
Intel said:We expect improved supply of Core i7-6700k processors in North America soon.
Gen9 is a really nice architecture. If you look at following tweet and his other tweets:
https://twitter.com/scottwasson/status/634414461219004416
Intel's done a really good job catching up, with Gen9 for Cannonlake and presumably more in the pipeline.
Steegen: One of the differences between germanium, silicon-germanium and III-V is that the epitaxial growth for III-Vs is way more challenging. To control the defects, III-V has proven to be more challenging. Thats one thing. The second thing is that you dont combine two difficult things at the same node. So combining a nanowire and III-V material is, of course, a very big step. In my opinion, its not going to happen at the same time. III-V readiness needs to mature further. That will likely get pushed out.
i don t like this thread. u talk only about the useless cheap, stinky socket 1151. is there a release date for the real Skylake ?
I think we will see the rate of improvement accelerate with respect to Intel graphics and media. Intel seems to have stepped its investments up significantly in this area and we're now just beginning to see the fruits of that labor.
System seems 24.7 stable, been on Arma 3 for a few hours and i can tell ive got a much faster system. FPS drops are much less severe and the FPS is much more stable in the town areas.
4.7ghz Skylake is like a 5ghz Haswell so im happy with the uprade from a semi stable 4.3ghz 4770k!

Agreed. Phoronix posted some HD Graphics 530 benchmark results under Linux:
Impressive numbers by the new Gen 9 GT2 iGPU. There's a lot of potential here, imagine what GT4e will do.
Edit: Just saw this:

Some hints about SKylake-S Celeron, Pentium and Core i3 clocks. Fastest Core i3 should have a 3.9GHz base clock.
Don't forget I had a faulty system which amazon gave me a full refund on the mobo 2 years old! My friend bought my old ram and cpu and cooler for eBay money less the fees. He's got a good deal which helps him since he's not got lots of cash to spend. Upgrade cost is £350 net. My system is fast and stable. It's kept me entertained building it and now playing on it.Yall understand that if
yall be tearing him a newone.. anyway lets keep the metrics, 5ghz vs 4.3 ~15% clock increase -> 7-8% actual, on the ground, performance increase.. For the cost of a WHOLE NEW BUILD. Im sorry but thats nuts.
