Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

Engineering samples are starting to leak out for Skylake too!

Nice low voltages for the 4.2Ghz turbo at stock :)

Hopefully other engineering sample owners will start to leak out some nice information too!
 
14nm. The multithread speed will be 4100 or 4200 MHz, so very close as 4790K. Performance a bit better, specialy in multithreads. Again, J.Lam is testing this chip and I think, he is not alone who have this chip in hands :)

We've seen a 15% IPC improvement so far over the 4790k. Now we just need to see how well these overclock :D

He keeps repeating 15% IPC improvement.. Maybe in the hope that people will believe him?

From what I've read it looks like about a 5% ~10% performance increase over Haswell. Def not worth moving from a Haswell setup for, but nice for new system builds or people coming from Sandy.

Skylake -E is where things could get interesting..

It's not rocket science buddy. 4790K (Haswell) to Skylake is a two generation jump.

Broadwell has already been proven in reviews to be a 5.5% IPC improvement over Haswell. Skylake would then be a 9-10% improvement over Broadwell, which isn't too much of a leap.

The leaked benchmarks we've had so far show a 15% improvement over Haswell. Orangey belives these to be fake, though refuses to link any sources to back up his claim. Maybe he's right, we'll see in the official reviews.

Regardless, If Skylake is less than a 10% improvement over Broadwell, it would look quite embarrassing to Intel, I doubt they'd release such a product product, when you consider that Skylake is a 'tock' and not a 'tick'.

No need to try and be condescending 'buddy' :p, you mention this 15% IPC in nearly every post and keep making digs at me for thinking it could be less than 15%. It's getting old now. You pulled that 15% figure from a benchmark that we can't confirm as legit.

From what I've read Skylake will be 5% - 10% over Haswell, just like Haswell was to Ivy and Broadwell is to Haswell. More of the same..

Ivy > 5% > Haswell > 5% > Broadwell > 5% > Skylake.. (Haswell to Skylake 10%)

Haswell was a 'Tock' as well and still only a small bump in performance and poor temps. So I'm expecting 5% over Broadwell, 10% over Haswell.

Until we see legit reviews we won't know. You can't just throw around a 15% figure you got from an unconfirmed benchmark, that's not rocket sciene either :D

I've got no need to be condescending when you say things like this. We already know that Broadwell is 5.5% faster than Haswell, so claiming that Skylake, the next 'tock' over Broadwell will only be 5% faster than Haswell is ludicrous, you've been reading fairy tails :D

Yes the 15% figure from benchmarks isn't confirmed yet, though it's not unreasonable to assume it could have some truth behind it - that would only be a 9.5% improvement from Broadwell to Skylake, something we've seen Intel being able to do many times in past years.
 
I think, the numbers are real or very close to real.
And it is not bad :) (R11.5 Cinebench is as 4800 MHz Haswell )

Had my head in the sand for a while regarding new tech.

How does the Skylake i5 compare to my i5 2500K ?
 
still waiting to find out unfortunately... I guess its a wait until 'solid, reliable' stats come out on how it fairs against haswell and then try and work it out backwards from there... Anyone know the difference from Sandybridge to Haswell % wise?

In games high resolution? Not much...
In rendering, video etc it could be +20% better in average, but in games FHD+max details maybe +5%.
 
I'd be surprised if it gets 15% IPC over Haswell in more than one or two specific tasks but it'd be nice if true - there have been OK IPC gains in specific scenarios over the last few generations, but for most uses basically no movement at all :(

You need to re-read my post, you obviously didn't understand it the first time or couldn't read the text so I'll make it a bit bigger... Maybe you're to busy trying to point score to actually read.

I said Haswell to Broadwell 5% (5%) Then Broadwell to Skylake 5% (5%).

So overall a possible 10% jump in performance from Haswell to Skylake.

(10%)

Hope that clears it up, you shouldn't be throwing around a 15% figure taken from benchmarks that aren't confirmed as legit.

That is all. Peace.
