Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

Those numbers are just about high enough to justify an upgrade from SB for me, but ultimately the decision will come down to overclocking potential; really keen to see what people get out of Broadwell, so we have some idea what kind of headroom Intel's 14nm process currently has.

If the early overclocking reports on Broadwell are anything to go by I there might be a another regression in overclocking potential which might wipe out any gains you get from ipc improvements.
 
I suspect the mounting holes are the same. Only difference is one extra pin in the socket compared to 1150.

We've seen 4.5ghz on Broadwelll (5775c) so far, though it was with a toasty 1.4V on air. No details of the temperatures etc were given.

I've seen those reports too, hoping that they're misleading.

I agree and I'm not sure why anyone expects any different. Overclocking potential has been declining every generation since Sandybridge.
 
Foundries usually supply a process tweaked for each application, High Performance (frequency) or low power. A node is supposed to progress from early (meaning barely works) all the way to high-yielding HP with other variants in between.

AFAIK Intel doesn't release this type of info for their foundry division so we can only speculate that finfets are killing enthusiast parts.
 
Starting to Feel like my summer project is turning into a winter one,

So need a new build

want to run Elite Dangerous

Aghhh thehell of being out of date with tech.
 
Skylake really does need to be at least 15% faster than the previous tock. Anything less is going to be considered a flop(to me anyway) because Broadwell is already around 8% faster than Haswell.

Seriously Intel, don't screw this up.;)
 
Are there any decent dual ddr3/4 boards annouced for this yet? The ones I've seen seem to be lower end :(.

I want to make the jump from the FX series and being able to save £120 or so on memory by reusing what I have would be nice :).
 
Funny how they call it next gen Tim. Announced for devils canyon chips, which actually run hotter than first gen haswell.
 
Will probably go to skylake.

Mostly because of the gibgabyte buy one get two offer, and I got the most expensive z97 they did. Will be good time to do win 10 install.

Hope it's good.
