Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

The iGPU benchmarks are insane. Toms Hardware has it beating an R7 250.

The CPU performance boost is typical of what we've seen from Intel recently. There's very little point in upgrading every generation.

My i7-870 overclocked is still doing well enough for me... I think I can squeeze 2-3 more years out of it.

Remember these Broadwell-C CPU's are not advertised as being a 4790k successor. They are only aimed for small factor PC's, NUC's without a dedicated GPU.

Skylake will offer a good jump over Haswell, and it will be here in August/September :)
 
Was it not rumoured a while back that broadwell c and the later skylake k models woul see a return to a soldered ihs, as opposed to the blu tac esque paste on haswell and ivybridge.
 
Will Skylake have an even better IGP? Usually they bump it up every generation but given that there's so little time between these, and the fact that they're on the same manufacturing node, I wonder if these Broadwell-C chips are really just testbeds for their HD 6xxx IGPs that will also feature on Skylake?

Broadwell's been in tablets/laptops a while, so chances are we'll see a bumped up one.
 
These 65W cpus do look impressive. However I suppose Broadwell-E should be a more exciting product for X99 users and hopefully it should be launching in less than a year in Q1 2016.:cool:

Sklylake further improves the IGP, though the initial Skylake release won't have the 'Iris Pro' 128MB eDRAM initially, not sure on the date for when it will.

Broadwell-E 'should' only be a minor 5.5% IPC improvement over Haswell-E, so quite a mundane improvement.

That's unless they manage to increase the clockspeeds more than 100Mhz or so, which is doubtful, but we'll see.

I'm far more interested in Skylake-E - PCI-Ev4, 10-15% IPC over Haswell, though it's a long way away (2017) so about as pointless talking about as Zen :P

You never know, Skylake-E may end up being released in late 2016.

Skylake Purley (Xeon) is scheduled to be released in 2017 according to Intel's Xeon roadmap and the HEDT cpus usually come first.
 
Was hoping for a cheapish upgrade to G3258 - and while an additional 2 cores won't go amiss, it's still somewhat of a disappointment to me to see the small IPC progress from the previous gen. I know it's all about that iGPU which, while impressive, isn't so interesting for those of us with fast-ish dGPUs already.

Just hoping OC results are stellar.
 
Why the half arsed reviews.. no overclocking results or quicksync tests!
2 options - not enough time or just Intel blocked that at launch. If the second one is the case, I guess the new 14nm process is not stellar in terms of OC. Let's all remember what disappointment so many people had when the 22nm process came out with Ivy Bridge to substitute the 32nm process of Sandy Bridge and everyone expected a bump in frequencies. And sadly we received a drop. I would not be surprised if Devil's Canyon overclocks better than Broadwell. I haven't read anything final as a confirmation whether the IHS is soldered or if they are still messing with crappy paste.

Compared to what? :) A lot of us remember the times of 100+% OC on mid range chips... It wasn't that long ago.
