Skylake Core i7-6700K clocks to 5.2GHz on air cooling

Skylake Core i7-6700K clocks to 5.2GHz on air cooling

Ok granted we have seen these leaks many times already. A screenshot of CPU-Z shows a clock-frequency of 5.2 GHz on a Core i7-6700K, that would be Skylake. According to Chinese based Hkepc they achieved this clock frequency on air cooling. It isn't stated if the CPU was stable or not.

The 5.2 GHz would be reached at 1.35V in combo with a system that runs, get this, Windows XP. In a teaser video Hkepc shows that the processor runs at 5 GHz stable at 1.286V, a screenshot proofs that SuperPi was running. 5Ghz at 1.286V is not bad, not bad at all. BTW the value in the CPU-Z screenshot is a notch lower, often releated to a bad software readout.

The Core i7-6700K is an engineering sample from intel, the chip runs 4 GHz at default base clock with a Turbo towards 4.2 GHz. The quad-core processor has 8MB cache and a 95 Watt TDP. Rumors suggest that early august this product series will launch. 

Thanks to Daniël de Jong for this spot.

We all remember the 5ghz Haswell and 5ghz Broadwell :)

This seems too good to be true, especially the voltages used but let's keep our fingers crossed that these chips really do overclock better than previous generations.

Oh goodness...seems the wait have been worthwhile :)

Edit: Just saw 'engineering Sample'...but here's to hoping actual production units are as capable :)

Maybe, just maybe, it's time to put my 2600k out to pasture. I just realised the other day I've had it for over 4 years. Fours years in computer terms in ancient. I think my body is ready but whether my bank balance is ready is another matter. New mobo, new ramz (this new chip is DD4, right?). Hmm. If it was DDR3 it'd be a no-brainer, DDR4 is still expensive.

edit

Oh apparently it supports DDR3l? I'd still have to buy some but at least it's cheap. :banana:

edit 2

DDR4 isn't as expensive as I thought. It seems my knowledge is as old as my CPU. :leave:

Depending on the chipset that is ;)
