Apart from the gaming results,
Really solid. Price performance champion. Great perf/W. Great IPC for a
first generation core, up there with Intel's best.
The only advantage Kabylake has is frequency on top of the known IPC lead, and full speed AVX/2 execution speed for the software that makes use of that.
We'll see if reviews reflect these numbers tomorrow, but this is no Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge. You know, for those who are still doubting Zen+ next year or so should close the gap IPC wise with Kabylake, and we're back to parity, and the crown will be for the one who clocks higher.
Hopefully BIOS updates fix whatever problem is left with memory latency, if it's fixable.. it doesn't seem to impact general workloads too much. Maybe it's a design tradeoff, because all we've seen is great bandwidth numbers overall.
