Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

I keep seeing people reference those debunked benches...

AFAIK there are no solid numbers at all.

Skylake Xeon named Purley is a Monster!!

Skylake Server processors are gonna be monsters and seems like they are gonna heat things up a lot with up to 28 cores !!

Since Skylake-E is based on the server cpus, assuming it contains the features listed for the Xeon, its gonna be badass !!

Skylake Purley: Intel Xeon E5 and E7 Platform Update

Skylake Purley is poised to be the biggest update since the age old Nehalem platform. Along with the improved performance per watt that comes with every article iteration, Skylake EX Purley will actually ship with 6 Channels of DDR4 as opposed to 4. It will also include the AVX 512 instruction set and will boast the 100G OmniPath interconnect. Skylake Purley will also have Cannonlake graphics support not to mention FPGA integration (another important upgrade). The FPGA will be able to execute programmable logic as opposed to the Skylake processor.

The slide above details everything about the Purley platform for Skylake Xeon E5 and Xeon E7. One of the biggest advancements that Skylake will have is the Intel Omnipath Architecture integration which will be called Storm Lake (Generation 1). The PCH will be codenamed Lewisburg while as it will also ship with updated Ethernet controllers. Another very important point to note is that the platform will be scalable up to 8 Sockets – which is frankly an absolutely insane amount for CPUs working in tandem in any given configuration. Specific SKUs have not been disclosed at this time. Skylake EX Purley will be spread out amongst the entire scalable segment – unlike the previous iterations. The TDP will be configurable from 45W to 165W and will require Socket P. Another interesting point to note is the fact that not only will Purley update the number of PCIe slots to 48 but they will finally be configurable in x4, x8 and x16 divisions ( a major update).

Here is the actual PDF of these slides

This must be the thing Charlie was teasing.

Any news on the E3 I wonder?

Any news on the E3 I wonder?

Well there are two Xeon E3 cpus coming under Skylake H. There have been news about E3 cpus in the past but nothing concrete seemed to have surfaced so far:

http://www.kitguru.net/components/c...ll-and-skylake-based-xeon-e3-for-1p-machines/

Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors based on the “Skylake” micro-architecture (and the “Skylake-S” 4+2 design) will feature four cores with the Hyper-Threading technology, large L3 cache, GT2 graphics engine as well as dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 memory controller that will support up to 64GB of memory. The chip will come in LGA1151 form-factor and will be compatible with “Greenlow” platforms based on the Intel C230 core-logic. Intel’s Xeon E3-1200 v5 CPUs are expected to become available in the second half of 2015, but it is not clear when exactly.

Like other processors based on the “Skylake” micro-architecture, the Xeon E3-1200 v5 chips will support technologies like AVX 3.2 (512-bit instructions), SHA extensions (SHA-1 and SHA-256, secure hash algorithms), MPX (memory protection extensions), ADX (multi-precision add-carry instruction extensions) and other innovations, which will be especially useful for servers.

If we look on the bottom right of the Xeon roadmap, there is an other Skylake Xeon platform called Basin Falls. It is on a different socket R and it's PCH is called Kaby lake. I suspect it's still an entry level Xeon E5 processor(s) for only one socket motherboards.

 

[WingZero30]

It appears Skylake will have 8 different families of cpus from notebooks to workstations.

Skylake U
Skylake Y
Skylake H
Skylake S
Skylake-E
Skylake-WS (Xeon E3 series) Greenlow platform
Skylake-EP (Xeon E5 series) Purley platform & Basin Falls platform
Skylake-EX (Xeon E7 series) Purley platform, highest end model packing 28 cores

People scoffed when I said they would put FPGAs on Xeons... another victory!

 

[Armageus]

8x 26Cores with HT = 448 Cores....

Guess you can't run Windows on it then (as I seem to think that tops out a 256 logical processors), but would make a great Folding@Home rig

Can you disable HT on Xeon cpus? If yes then I suppose you could run Windows

 

[Orangey]

I'm pretty sure there is a mainframe edition of Windows that can be tailored to customer reqs like increased CPUs.

(no idea why/who would want it tho)

AFAIK there are no solid numbers at all.

We should see more engineering leaks soon, hopefully with comprehensive benchmarks

I think the pertinent point in this article is:

"A web-site has published what it claims to be early benchmark results of Intel Corp.’s Core i7-6700K....."

I'll be taking it with a pinch of salt myself and waiting to see what some official benchmark testing says

 

[Orangey]

If true it might even end up being slower in games.

It is 9% on the multithreaded ones.

It is only 4% on the single threaded ones because of a 5% turbo deficit.

These benchmark results were posted and debunked a while ago - it's just kitguru doing another clickbait article, for more views/money.

Still waiting for new leaks/benchmarks!

Do you have a link to the debunking?

Not to hand, though a simple glance at the 4790k scores show them to be inaccurate.

These are the same cpu monkey benchmarks from a week or two ago, somewhere in this thread.

The 4790k scores only 805 points in Cinebench R15, which is incorrect. Lookup any of the official 4790k reviews from Anandtech, ,Tomshardware and other reputable websites and it scores 850+ at stock, depending on the memory used.

If they can't even get the 4790k scores right, what are the chances they are accurate with the unreleased Skylake scores...

That's not really debunking. That's within the scope of difference you'd get due to different setups.

All you have to do is look at any benchmark thread and ypu'd get different results.
