Thanks for the link! Looks better than expected, to be honest. I'll still wait and see a bit what DX12 will do to benchmarks in the next few months...

Yep, I agree. They look promising, especially the overclock potential on those two chips! 4.75GHz for the i5 and and 4.8 for the i7 (5Ghz max). Obviously they're behind X99 chips, in terms of performance, but you know X99 is not the "mainstream" platform.
Thanks for the link to the video and article, was looking forward to this.
And thank you for moving the thread in the appropriate sub category :D
Yeah the overclocking potential should be allot better then haswell was.
If im right, intel has got rid of the FIVR in skylake, which is realy good news for overclocking.
Intel has gone oldschool, like in the Sandybridge days.
This does mean, that mobo´s with a decent vreg design, going to make sense again.
It sounds like music to my ears atleast.
£320 for the i7 6700k and you dont even get a stock heatsink with it? lol wtf are intel doing? a Intel Core i7 5820K is currently £299
Doesn't make any sense to me to not go for the 6 core...

Yes you are!
well that highly depends on the usage.
If you are building a rig for pure gaming, then the skylake chip will be the better choice obviously.
It will perform better out of the box, and it has more overclock potential.
The only thing im interrested in, since intel gives us more control of bclock and cache overclocking.
if they are going to give us overclocking options on new Xeon E3 chips.
Er no it still doesn't make any sense to pay more for a lesser chip even gameing wise hopefully thay relese new Xeon's without the igpu and we can see some better saveings that way
Skylake is a faster chip, for gaming.
So it does make sense, but i think that the prices will drop.
Are you talking about the V4 family?
yes.
Well then, I'm kinda interested too.
Xeon E3 4 cores 8 Threads, with adjustable Bclock, for just a few bucks more then the core i5.
Yeah that would be interessting lol.
+1
For a gaming standpoint the i7 6700k is a strong choice. An overclocked i7 6700k (CPU, memory, cache); boy this thing is quick! Plus the i5 6600k is "deal breaker". Plus the base clock is back, bring back old school OC. :D
EDIT: another thing to consider is that with the new z170 platform a m.2 drive does not interfere with the other PCI-e lanes.
Not trying to thread jack, just adding to the discussion.
But I found the results of this review very interesting.
especially the multi GPU results and the results higher than 1080P.
It's funny to me to see how relevant the non K i5 can still be, and well some of these results were just interesting is all. I'm not sure if just having DDR4 would be worth it at this point..........
This is much much better than what I was initially seeing about these chips.
Why would someone go with this over a 5820k?
Prices are so close, features are similar, x99 winning more or less, quad channel memory and all that jazz.
5820k at 4.5ghz is significantly faster than a 6700k overclocked as well.
