Broadwell-K i7 5775C/i5 5675C

I really don't see why they even bothered seeing as Skylake is here in a couple of weeks. Apart from the igpu Broadwell isn't really much of a performance gain over Devils Canyon.

It really is simple, Intel have been promising this product will appear on desktop for 3 years, through all the delays continuing to promise there are no problems. They HAVE to launch it as when you make those promises in financial conference calls and statements to the stock markets you get in serious crap for lying. As such they have to launch it, even if it's not sold in volume or in any way that means people want it. They've done as low key, low volume, low interest a launch as possible.

If they launched it 3 months ago, demand would be higher and the lack of supply would look seriously bad. By launching it so close to Skylake they kill all demand for it, semi hide the supply problems and their promises to release the product wasn't an outright lie(even though they realistically did).

Will the igp on the skylake i5/i7 CPUs be as fast as the broadwell i5/i7 on sale now.

Highly unlikely. Though we'll see Skylake with eDRAM at some point, haven't heard of a date yet. That will blow Broadwell-C out of the water. Probably gonna be Q1/Q2 2016 for that though.
 
Since I have a Z97 board and have been waiting for these to come out, I picked up a 5675c from ebay for £150. Will see how it performs and overclocks later!
 
Spent my evening sorting out my desk with new speakers, getting all the cables sorted then updating bios etc. Then I discover I have no thermal paste -__-

So unless there is someone in Manchester city center then this needs to wait till tomorrow =(

I was going to do some benchmarks with my I5 4690 ( None K ) and GTX 980 to compare. Anyone got any recommendations?
 
Having a bizarre issue where it won't go past its factory max overclock, it maxes out at 3.6ghz even under load with good temperatures.

The multiplier shows it will go further, it just wont.

Any recommendations?

Contacted MSI and also left a post on there forums checking on a beta bios.

I have to commend MSI for the quick and decent response. Never expected anything really even trying to help.

On general performance, at factory clocks it is at least equal to my haswell 4690 or even many cases faster. Bare in mind this is running at around 400mhz slower so that is reasonably impressive in itself. Here are the benchmarks from my stock 4690 I was hoping to post some overclocked comparisons from my 5675c at the same clock speeds. That is seemingly on hold for the moment.

The excel spreadsheet is Bioshock Infinite benchmark. The lower fps on heaven was because of an odd stutter I got.

System specs were 16gb of memory, 4690 and Nvidia GTX 980.
