Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

I hate this, I have wanted to upgrade for so long... Got a 2700k SB at 4.8Ghz. Anything going to be worthy upgrade to that?
 
I want as new GPU Fury Nano or one no more specific Fury version from one vendor ,-)

But Il have only one or two 6700K CPUs :-(.

Anyone know if its possible to resolder or if anyone's actually done it on haswell CPUs?

Assuming its possible using a blowtorch and solder paste

Intel solder isn't the stuff u get from b&q. It has a much lower melting point for one thing, I doubt it has much at all in common with electrical solder.
 
I thought more of them would have been shown at computex. Quite a few from gigabyte on show but just the one from Asus.
 
Sorry for what's no doubt a repeat question. I've skimmed the thread without spotting the answer that's surely in here. I'm close to upgrading my whole system and planned on a 4690K as the CPU. Is the 10-15% increase for Skylake what I'm likely to see at the same price point? Given Intel's incremental updates I'm assuming the 4690K won't be immediately made redundant?
 
Your 4690k is an excellent chip, cool it, overclock it. Most likely you wont notice an appreciable difference in games if you went to Skylake over say putting your funds towards a new graphics card. Based on past Intel releases, Skylake will be a small price increase over the current chips though expect some time for retailers to adjust to stable pricing after the initial early adopter premium.

My feeling is the 4690k is the new Q6600 chip and will last many yrs for ppl that don't succumb to the upgrade itch.

You mean the new i7-920? Or the new i5-2500K? :D

Yes the Skylake 4690k equivalent (6600k) should come in at the same price point as the 4690k you were planning on.

It's completely up to you - though I'd recommend waiting for Skylake, as it's so close to release now and promises around 10-15% more performance over the 4690k, as well as far better chipset (z170).
