Not this again. Saying it was the "most important" isnt really hype at all. In the context of all the hyperbole from AMD, nVidia, and Intel with each new release, it actually seems a rather innocuous statement. A certain poster just seems obsessed with it for some reason. The "importance" comes not from a huge performance boost, but from all the competition in the market place. Personally,I think it is a decent improvement, but I was hoping for more from the cpu side. The problem with Skylake is that it is just an improvement in the market where Intel is already dominant. What they needed was for Atom and the other SOCs for phone use to be killer products, and they certainly are not so far.
The thing that *does* irritate me is the incessant ads from Intel saying Skylake is "our best chip ever". I should hope so. A company with the resources of intel in the current market certainly cant afford to bring out a chip that is worse than it predecessor.
