Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

Between 2500k/2600k and 6700k/6600k, clock to clock 4500mhz, on latest games like GTA V or FC4, skylake is better like 30% in fps (1080p). People who say there's no gaming advantage to them because they have great 2500k are delusional:p unless 30% is still not much than ok.

Worth changing for me:) about 20% faster than 4790k

FC4 http://www.purepc.pl/procesory/test_procesora_intel_core_i76700k_skylake_premiera_lga_1151?page=0,36

GTA V

not sure how it compares to 5820k.
 
lol BS review site, they got the broadwell chips top of the charts, the 4790k is on par with the ivy quad.

I think we can safely say purepc are pure BS.;)
 
Yes, but R* did a **** poor job bringing it to PC (GTA4 was the same).

So you can pay top dollar to let R* keep bringing out **** PC releases, or accept that GTA5 needs a monster PC. Which is terrible considering it runs on a low-end AMD APU in the consoles.

But I wouldn't use R* inability to optimise for PC as a reason to buy £300 CPU (+mobo +new RAM), which in other games won't do jack for you.

i saw another review im sure where the broadwell was top in games slightly...even when clocked lower

im not say it isnt bs but id like to understand why :o
does it do something magical
i guess single thread is a bit stronger?
i duno!
 
Which review oc broadwell isn't? Everywhere is equal to 4790k with stock clocks which are really low. Like Orangey mentioned "Broadwell has eDRAM L4 cache." which is probably why it's surprisingly fast.
 
I just don't get it why people look at reviews like anandtech and say oh 6700k is crap. What a silly review from a gamer point of view. Doesn't say anything, stock clocks, some office software and crappy games, pointless.

PC games were bad optimised in the past and in the future will be still:D 2500k/2600k will stay behind then even further. It might not be worth for some to spend 300 but it's definitely way better processor in latest games than 2500k.

Raven post some links which show it's crap:) seriously I always like to read a few reviews to get point of view.

its nice they tested the different speed memory :)
like to know if it makes a difference at higher res too tho

will be interesting to see what the faster kits will do to overall performance once they get released.

as for high res that will probably come in a 2nd review, first ones always aimed at getting the cpu maxed out hence lower res for silly fps's.
 
So let me see if I have this straight. Skylake has:

- Lower clock speed compared to Haswell
- Higher TDP compared to Haswell
- Worse IGP than Broadwell
- The same overclocking potential as the previous 4 generations (4.5-4.6 GHz expected)
- Barely improved IPC
- Higher cost than all previous generations

lol?
 
Good review from Hardcop happy with my choice on buying a 6700k for £263.99 will be a long wait though to be in stock but I'm in no rush.

4.7 ghz overclock is good enough coming from a 2500k stuck on stock in my shuttle XPC system. Anybody on a newer platform then me I wouldn't bother upgrading to skylake be waste of money.

...Skylake has failed to meet even my most pessimistic expectations.

On the upside, I really feel that Zen has a fighting chance now.

As long as it has Haswell levels of performance at a decent price, e.g. sub £150 for i5 level performance and sub £200 for i7. It would really bring AMD back into the CPU game.

My gut feeling though is that Intel will unleash another huge jump in CPU power either with Kaby Lake or Cannonlake. Or we may just be stuck at around this level of CPU power for a few more years if they can't get 10 nm sorted properly.
