Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K SkyLake Specs ?

Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K SkyLake Specs ?

There is a bit of controversy on the web at the moment as some info appeared on the web regarding Intel's upcoming Skylake lineup. The information claims the existence of a Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K, runing up-to 4.2 GHz.

Now here's the thing, we stated controversy on the first paragraph as the source is a website called PCFrm and they have no track record whatsoever in regard to validity.

The Core i7 6700K would be a 4.0 Ghz processor that can boost to 4.2 GHz, the 6600K model would do 3.5/3.9 GHz.

  • Core i7 6700K
    4 cores and Hyper-Threading, 4.0GHz frequency, 4.20GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, 8MB last-level cache, dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 memory controller with 1600MHz or 2133MHz support, 95W TDP, Intel HD Graphics 5000-series integrated graphics core, LGA1151 packaging
  • Core i5 6600K
    4 cores, 3.50GHz frequency, 3.90GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, 6MB last-level cache, dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 memory controller with 1600MHz or 2133MHz support, 95W TDP, Intel HD Graphics 5000-series integrated graphics core, LGA1151 packaging;

Skylake is the codename used by Intel for the 14nm processor microarchitecture under development and due to launch in 2015 as the successor to the Broadwell architecture. Intel 14nm Skylake processors will feature PCIe gen 4, DDR4 Memory and SATA Express support. Now anybody can type up this stuff so yeah, take it with a big grain of salt.

LGA1151, I wonder if with a bios update it could work on existing mother boards.

One would hope. But considering the lack of competition in this segment I strongly believe we will see another small 10% performance increment. I mean there's not much incentive for them to push their own boundaries.
We'll see.

That's why nobody is upgrading as they are pushing out crappy 10% boost on each CPU release. Whats the point spending another £250 quid on 10%?

However if they upped the speeds by 33% or more there would be massive uptake.

Intel are shooting themselves in the foot at the moment. :bang:

While there might be no competition from the AMD side and prices will go up drastically, If Intel does not deliver better performance, customers will just refuse to upgrade until it becomes something of a larger difference. What we will likely see is a slow to a crawl on the increased complexity of processor intensive software like Games, who knows maybe we will see more optimized titles from now on. But the truth still remains: Customers will not buy crap they do not need...remember that Intel!

So, Intel decided to go to 'C' for unlocked in the Broadwell CPU's, but go back to K for Skylake?

Still 4 cores? No thanks, I was hoping in 2010 when I got mine that I would upgrade to something like double the cores in 3-4 years time. But pay for a Quad at these exorbitant sums of money that the Intel's cost? Not even a Multithreaded i5...
