Intel Core i7-6950X Benchmarked Against i7-5960X
If you check out our forums, you'll notice that Silicon Lottery has posted benchmark results of the Intel Core i7-6950X Tested Against a Core i7-5960X.
Overclocked it reached 4.50 GHz and got a Cinebench R15 score of 2327 points. At 4.00 GHz, it scored 1904 points, 19.5 percent higher than the i7-5960X at the same clocks (the i7-6950X features two extra cores). The 6950X is a ten-core chip with HyperThreading and a 25MB L3 cache / quad-channel DDR4 memory controller.
The memory read speeds were nearly the same, but the memory write speeds were found to be a staggering 35% percent higher on the i7-6950X.
Check out the post from our buddy at Silicon Lottery here.

Why would it, it's not like Skylake blew Haswell out of the water either, so don't expect ridiculous performance from Skylake E either when it drops.
Personally I hope they skip Sky E and go straight Kaby E at least Kaby wud have native USB3.1 HDCP2.2 and a few other nice things Skylake doesn't
Hmmm not really seeing Broadwell-E making me sorry I got Haswell-E.

Personally I find myself in the funny situation to not even mind that much in regards to USB standards, HDCP or anything for that matter, don't ask me why I never came across limitations in such fields. I own a single USB3.0 stick right now.
But yes, Skylake isn't such a tease to me, personally I think currently my system is overpowered CPU wise anyway, for coming years I don't plan to change CPU / mainboards / RAM. Was just interested in seeing how quickly things change now, which they don't seem to be with Broadwell or Skylake... we'll see how Kabi does.

The standards and what not are not a massive concern to me either at the moment, but the Skylake platform update was needed, nice to see Kaby Lake is getting on top of things even more in that regard. But I don't see Kaby doing anything special IPC wise like the last few gens, nor Canonlake for that matter as thats mostly a die shrink from 14nm to 10nm.
Personally I think Intel are going to be headed more and more into the cloud now, and eventually we'll see most if not all computation done there and not in a computers at home thus negating a need for oh so powerful systems in the home.
