Skylake/Kabylake from Haswell - IPC

[geordiejc]

Hello all,

I have a 4770k @ 4.2ghz.

Can someone tell me what the IPC gains are from Haswell to sky/Kabylake? i think it's ~10% if my memory serves me well. With all the speculation that ryzen will be on par with kabylake, i see no point in upgrading to either kabylake/ryzen except for the platform benefits from my z87 system.

If Ryzen is on par with kabylake (IPC) unless ryzen can overclock to 4.6 - 5.0 ghz like kaby's it's going to disappoint a few people but price/perf will be amazing.

i digress Can anyone shed any light on the IPC form haswell to kaby?

Intel are claiming +15% on their 8th gen, so not sure about the ipc gain being pointless.

How many cores do the latest games utilise? e.g. for honor etc..

Skylake/kabylake with fast DDR4(3000mhz+) is around 20% faster than haswell with DDR3 1600mhz in games at same clock.
YOu NEED have fast ram with skylake otherwise it will be very bottleneck.

This is very interesting indeed!

20% as a result of increased memory speed.
