Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

Hmm... Going by Anandtech enchmarks don't look hugely impressive.

Will need to have a look at some other sites for a good picture of performance.
I'm most interested in minimum fps performance benchmarks and consistency compared with the 5820k etc.
 
Such a shame, there were lots of people waiting in hope that Skylake would be the biggest jump in years for the mainstream chips, looks like it could be the lowest performance increase we've seen.
 
With X99 being "so cheap", I don't see four core platforms getting any solid improvements.

You either go low cost with an i5 or you go all out with X99. Staying in between seems kind of pointless now. My 4770k will be the last four cores cpu I buy.

Far cry from the PCIe 4.0, IPC monster, soldered wunderkind of legend. Intel under-delivered bigtime. I think you would have to go back to the 32bit days for a bigger flop.

It's sad they are forced by the market to come out with a new Cpu every summer.
I would rather have them spending 2-3 years of R&D at least for their high end stuff.

What's the point of this generation?
AMD please do something ._.

Even Kaby Lake (2016 refresh) will be hindered by this, as they will be working off the design that was crippled by deadlines. It wasn't ready and now AMD has an opening for Zen to swoop in and scoop up market share.
 
So my 2500k gets another lease of life ;)

Judging by the gaming benchmarks at anand, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade at all.

Thanks, Intel, for looking after my wallet :p Perhaps AMD will offer something worth buying next year.

I'm not even sure it's an upgrade, to quote Anand: "Discrete graphics card performance decreases on Skylake over Haswell."

Have you seen the onboard graphics drop in performance compared to Broadwell? :o If your going to charge silly prices at least attempt to make it worth while by offering a feature that nobody will use that's at least as good as it's predecessor. And as you said slower then Haswell with a discrete card, makes you wonder why they didn't put Skylake back in the oven for a bit longer and give Broadwell a proper run.
