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.

Maybe, just maybe, these chips are going to be the "tock" in Intels road map since Sandy Bridge and thats why they used the same naming as Sandy :D

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.

Yes, Skylake will be tock.

I know it's not a necessity, and certainly Intel's not forced to work on it, but still no 6 core for the mainstream platform? D'oh.

Yeah I was hoping to see a mainstream 6-core aswell. Especially now that DX12 is around the corner there would be benefits even in gaming. By the looks of it I will likely skip skylake aswell.

But who knows maybe that 6700k will dish out great performance.

That's always possible. Also I wonder how they will behave temp wise, and how much they can be overclocked. 4.2GHz stock boost should enable people to get it closer to 4.6 with decent cooling, maybe even more. This alone could mean a reasonable bump in performance, this making people upgrade.

But I just bought my 5930K, so I will not sidegrade / downgroade to regular Skylake anyway :)
