What overclocking? The chip is already at 4.5ghz with boost. How much more do you think it will go?

4.8-5 capable, with low volts aall while maintaining decent temps. Dare to dream.

Can't wait to see these in store.. I'm hoping there will be about 10% in it on the general processor side of things compared to the 6200 and 6500 and the GPU is reportedly a lot faster.. I believe it's about 30% faster. These are going to be seriously great mobile chips. As for all you guys sitting on Sandy's and Ivy's this is a good time to consider upgrading. You won't get a lot more performance from newer machines until there's a huge architecture shift or games start really taking advantage of six and eight cores. Remember Cannonlake is just a die shrink of Kaby for the most part there won't be much of a speed improvement with those chips. By the time the desktop parts are released Zen should be out as well, whether that impacts Intel's pricing will need to be seen but that would be a good time to jump on board the new tech. if only Intel would release a desktop class processor with 256MB eDRAM you guys would get the 20% odd gaming performance jump you'd splash out for.. but I think Intel's not interested in doing this yet and it would cannibalize their higher end parts, but I'm going to place a bet this is actually what the consumers want.t may take pressure from Zen to make it happen, only thing is I can't see Zen bringing any heat to Intel in gaming performance.

I don't even feel a need for Broadwell-E, as I get similar performance with a 4ghz overclock. We'll see what is available in 2020. Kabylake-X.

Not sure why a lot of people need computers that don't need a lot of power ( that are not gamers? ) But for Zbrush where the millions of polys depend soley on the CPU and system memory with no GPU benefit at all... Or When software rendering Global Illumination in Maya... I generally look at Cinebench to get an Idea whether or not it is worth it to upgrade. ( depending on the ratio to cobwebs in my wallet ) I am still on a i7-980x. And I do not see anywhere near the same kind of gains I got from upgrading from the same GPU as my CPU I bought the same year in 2010.. ( my GTX 480 tri-SLI up to Pascal gtx 1080 ) But with 10 cores I accepted that the price of admission for such core increases was the enthusiast I7 extreme price of $980. Which felt like a reasonable upgrade burden considering the rendering advantage I would get. But the new price structure really leaves me willing to wait and see what AMD does. $1600?? That means in 6 years the only thing intel really upgraded was the hi end enthusiast price like nvidia did with ti and titan. Ill bite if AMD does nothing to really compete... But only when the 10 core is the lower highend cpu ( whenever the highend jumps to 12 cores probably ) for $980. Otherwise I am confused why they muddied competition with their xeon product line in this confusing way? Really feels confusing to be preying for AMD when I have been an Intel fan for the most part? 🙁

Hoping for lots more when I put it under ss or dice 🙂
