Surprising jump in perfromance from Kaby-lake to Sky-lake

[bru]

PCper have put up an article on the performance difference between SKy-lake and Kaby-lake, with some interesting results.

Maybe Kaby-lake will be better than most of us expect it to be.

Maybe, it will certainly be interesting to see some desktop comparisons.

The glory days of overclocking are sadly long gone. I used to enjoy the challenge of getting a massive stable overclock (sometimes double) out of a cpu.

Yup, those were the days, maybe with all this boosting and higher stock clocks, modern chips are released much nearer their limit, so overclocking seems less impressive than it used too.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new speed step and other improvements along with the increase in clock speed, make a nice difference with general computing tasks. But for gaming I can see that the increase in clock speeds will only make a much smaller difference, with the other features not making much of an impact.
