Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

Nice to see the Maximus extreme back in the Asus lineup.

Further confirmation of the August/September release date:

Could these release dates be the reason why Broadwell-E is delayed to Q1 2016 and not being released in Q3 2015, one year after Haswell-E as Intel wants the consumer to fully focus on its Skylake cpus.

Talking about Broadwell-E around the same time as these Skylake cpus would have shifted some attention away; well for enthusiasts anyway I reckon.

So what kind of performance increase can I expect from Lynnfield? 25%?

40-50% most likely

Another Z170 board leaked, this time with pictures:

The R15 scores for the 4790K seem quite low on these benchmarks, with only 805 points. A stock 4790k gets 894 on the official Anandtech review, for example.

I suspect it's down to the memory speed used, but we'll see.

Can't wait for the official reviews

 

[FlanK3r]

894 is maybe possible not with Intel spec, but with edhanced multicore active (CPU after running in all situation with max boost)

I only checked Anandtech and Bit-Tech's 4790K official reviews. Anandtech reporting 894 and Bit-Tech reporting 882.

I wasn't aware that they were using enhanced multi-core in the stock benchmarks, I'll try and find confirmation.

 

[FlanK3r]

I tested it without edhanced multicore:

845 points with 2133 DDR3 XMP

some leaked benchmarks

Spoiler

Geekbench single core


Geekbench multithread


Cinebench R11.5 sinle


Cinebench R11.5 - multithread


Cinebench R15-single core


Cinebench R15 multithread

~9% IPC improvement on the multithreaded benchmarks then.

Different Tturbo speeds makes the single threaded ones a bit more difficult (~4% better performance but ~5% clock speed deficit).

I cant wait to see how a 6700k performs in an Asus rog board, extreme or formula which will come later.

If Skylake follows the same pattern as Sandy Bridge to Haswell then it will preform exactly the same on every motherboard bar the ultra cheap ones. These days I when looking at motherboards there's no point in looking at performance numbers, asthetics and feature sets are the selling points.

Just complementing the above pic

Now Intel just needs to add further the Skylake-E cpus to the list and then it will complete lol


The list of 28 different Skylake cpus is pretty good but nowhere near the astonishing figure of 129 Core 2 processors back in the old days !!

That's about 4 ticks and tocks worth of CPUs over a 3 year period though.

Wait... 2 core i7 CPUs? I think I might have heard of such things before, but the madness of it! Also, some of those are laptop CPUs, I think those are the HK/HQ ones. Or if I'm wrong... what are these HQ/HK chips? Are they going to be the equivalent of Broadwell-C with Iris Pro iGP?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Is this it? A 10-15% performance improvement over current DC chips? What else does Skylake offer other than a performance improvement that is minimal?

I was quite looking forward to a new system build when these come out, but it seems pointless unless I'm missing something obvious (which is more than possible).

 

[Minstadave]

Were you expecting more? We've not had anything but small IPC increases since Sandybridge in 2011.

 

[Jokester]

The only thing that is going to get you substantially more performance these days is more cores.

That's what x99 is for I guess...

Which Intel is stubbornly not giving us without going to their enthusiast platform. Hopefully Zen will bring some competition back into CPU development.
