OMFG these chips are 2 gud.

6ghz at 1v maybe?!?!?!?!

The poster specified 1.35V. CPUID obviously doesn't detect Skylake/z170 voltages correctly at this point.

Check his description under the picture:

Remember HKEPC are quite reliable when it comes to leaks and overclocking info in the past.

No AVX512

That ES chip probally has a soldered IHS, I bet when the retail chips come out Intel will have cheaped out again with crappy TIM again.

The engineering samples are all TIM based, not soldered. That's how we came to know that Skylake is not soldered in the fist place, engineering leaks.

Oh, that's good then.

I've not really taken much interest to look at what's floating around on the web. I sure I saw on the Chinese Coolaler website a while back, that his was TIM based.

Let's hope the retail chips are this good on average, not getting my hopes up.

The same was said about 4790k prior to release. In this forum I've probably only seen two at 5ghz on what you could call good 24/7 use voltage.

ES and review samples will be cherry picked as is standard practice.

If your potential purchase hinges on OCing wait for forum results.

Yep, expected early leaked overclocking shots to be with binned ES chips. But tbh I might just give skylake a miss. More tempted by X99 now. Still on Z87 here which is pretty much a dead socket now.

im so confused as to buy a 5820k or 6700k the few gaming benchmarks are showing 5820k better, eurgh really dont know what to do since people are saying skylake will beat 5820k but everything ive seen so far doesnt seem true, also i strictly only use my pc for gaming

This. Haswell was exactly the same so I wouldn't get excited yet.

Umm interesting

Didn't someone say that dx12 will make use of onboard gfx as well as a discrete gpu? If so x99 doesn't have an onboard gpu so will it lose out??

There are no official gaming results out yet.

We're so close to Skylake's release that it's a very wise decision to wait 2-3 weeks and see the official results, then decide for yourself

Someone also said that you can catch AIDs by w******.

I believe that this is possible, however I also seem to remember that there are likely overheads which would make doing so detrimental to overall performance.

These DX12 rumours are the same type of thing as LucidLogix Hydra.

All you can count on in the next few years is slightly less CPU overhead. The various things bandied about in the hypestorm are pipe dreams. Over a very long period of time as market penetration approaches a certain threshold, people may look at these ideas and actually try to implement them.

(Short answer is no)

is it 8 cores your 6 cores?

according to the original post, the cpu's most folks would be after(6700k) are out next year mate
