zir_blazer said:I'm dying to get proof if they are really better binned, the time is coming. And if its true than the previous generations were actually soldered instead of classic TIM, they would have been even better if Xeon overclocking would have been available before. That alone is a hefty advantage.
“We have improved graphics 30 times what they were five years ago,” Bryant said during a speech at a J.P. Morgan forum last week at CES.
He said that the top-level graphics processors integrated in Intel’s chips, called Iris and Iris Pro, can outperform 80 percent of discrete graphics chips.However he thinks that Intel has done quite a poor job of communicating the benefits of integrated graphics.
Either way, gaming PCs are the fastest growing segment in the PC market and becoming more important for Intel, Bryant said. Intel is targeting this market with its top-line gaming Core chips that can be overclocked at desktops with discrete GPUs.
That's changing in Skylake according to the Anandtech article, so it should be four generations.
It was inevitable, although they seem to be doing it to an extreme form nowadays. That is, segmentation.

Kabylake Client Platform shows up @ SiSoftware
Early Kabylake-Y samples?
In the last quarter of 2015 Intel has seen its revenue for client processors drop by 8% due to a declining market, however high-end PCs seem to make a comeback or are more popular then ever as they increased their sales in this segment with the high-end Core i7 processors.
Especially the 14nm based K models like the 6600K and 6700K sold extremely well. With good news comes bad news, the high demand of flagship processors has an effect. As a direct result the average direct sales price of these SKUs went up by a good 17% compared to 2014.
Intel: Even though the Client Computing Group ended the full year down 8%, we were excited to see that we were able to grow sequentially in the second and third and fourth quarters. As of November, 14 nanometer products made up more than 50% of the Client Computing volume. For the year, high-end Core i7 microprocessors and our K SKUs for gaming, both set all-time volume records, leading to our rich product mix. [...]
Another motherboard maker just joined the overclocking revolution for cheaper, non-K series Intel Skylake chips, following in the footsteps of ASRock, Biostar, and others.
EVGA published a BIOS update for Z170 motherboards late Thursday night that allows base clock overclocking on non-K CPUs. The BIOS 1.07 update can be downloaded directly from EVGA’s site. The only Intel chips that officially allow overclocking are designated by a “K” at the end of its part number; this motherboard BIOS update allows you to boost the performance of all the Skylake chips that don’t end in “K.”
Back in December, Intel told PCWorld that it does not “recommend overclocking processors that have not been designed to do so. Intel does not warranty the operation of the processor beyond its specifications.”
If you ask me that sounds like, “we don’t want you to do it, but if you do you’re on your own.” For seasoned overclockers, though, that’s familiar territory.
Gigabyte Launch X170 and X150 motherboards for Intel Skylake Xeon CPUs with ECC memory support. These motherboards are based upon Intel's C236 and C232 chipsets, but have been renamed to X170 and X150 in order to attract gamers to the platform.
For many years a lot of gamers have purchased XEON CPUs instead of their desktop equivalents in an effort to save money, losing out on Intel's integrated graphics and higher clocks speeds and overclockability to fit a new Intel CPU into their budget. [...]
...Cube’s new tablet features an Intel Core m3-6Y30 Skylake processor, a USB 3.1 Type-C connector, a microSD card reader, and a 5,000 mAh battery. It has a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP rear camera, supports WiFi and Bluetooth, and the tablet sports a magnesium-alloy case.
The Cube i9 goes on sale in China this month for 2,999 yuan, or about $455 US. That makes it kind of expensive for a Chinese tablet, but the Cube i9 is roughly half the price of an entry-level Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with a Core M3 processor (and a higher-resolution display, among other premium features).
Cube tablets have a way of finding their way overseas, where they’re usually sold for slightly higher prices. I suspect you’ll be able to pick up the Cube i9 in the US for around $500 in the not too distant future.
Its what I kept saying. Record sales of K and GTX
Skylake K CPUs sold like hotcakes with a solid Haswell backing.
Finally got a bios for my motherboard. First try 4.35 ghz on the i5 6500 will play with it more
Asking again, could Intel release >95W TDP LGA115X CPUs?
Skylake's overclocking potential, best-in-class single-thread performance and up to date platform features are really compelling. As a Haswell-E owner, I wouldn't mind a 4.8GHz+ Core i7-6700K rig.
Asking again, could Intel release >95W TDP LGA115X CPUs?
Assuming Kabylake-S is another quad-core (possibly new architecture) running on a mature 14nm process, an agressively clocked part @ close to 4.5 GHz would be really nice. Could be a special edition, while Core i7-6700K gets a slightly lower clocked successor. If they can release a low-volume 5.1GHz Broadwell-E part, then why not?
Nice, keep us updated.
What would be the point if you can buy a K model and overclock it to 4.5? I suppose if they specially bin it and you can consistently overclock to 5plus ghz there might a place for it.
I would much rather see a mainstream hex core though. Instant 50% increase in performance while pushing clocks can give you what, maybe 10% extra?

Wait, KabyLake isn't going to have Gen10 iGPU?
So what does KabyLake bring to the table besides hardware support for newer codecs, and apparently some higher clockspeeds?
