That's quite a nice performance. Especially from a 2C/4T chip! :thumbup:

Intel is really doing its best to bring us such a huge boost in performance with every gen (sarcasm on). 5 year old Sandy : https://s18.postimg.org/92zwu2akp/Untitled.png

Is that stock or overclock?

I knew the skylake is a disaster,Now Intel confirms that on bench with this new chip. That bench is,ofc,with chips on stock. i5/i7 6xxx vs i5/i7 Haswell? NO way! Haswell rulles! 😉

Well this is also an i3 chip. Also, when you have little competition there's really no point in Intel investing so much money to bring huge performance increases.

Is that stock or overclock?

The images show 4.2 GHZ and the article says the processor is a 4.0 / 4.2 GHZ processor ... so my guess is stock. 🤓

That's a nice score Undying! Hold to that sweet piece of cpu! Sandy and Ivy Bridge... Best cpu fun times ever. :thumbup:

Geekbench crashed for me, even after restart it crashed until finally could run the test... For me it's: 3915 and 17104 points on an i7-5820k 4.2GHz OC, but the program is saying it's 3.3ghz... So this program is not the best I think. So I went for passmark, where I see an I7-7770k result there. Thats 4.2Ghz base, 4.5ghz turbo, and single performance is 2640, multi is 12945. For me on fix 4.2GHz i7-5820k it's 2527 single, 15925 multi. So after all with the final clock higher than mine, we are at the same performance like before... That i3-7350k was maybe OC to 5+GHz, cause nearly +30% single perfomance from geekbench is interesting. So I got bottlenecked to 3.3ghz even if I am at 4.2ghz, or that i3 was running above 5GHz. The passmark results are good, that 4core i7 is just as faster than me, as higher it's clocked. So it's nothing new again, everyone can sit down and buy an old ivy bridge i7-3770k used for 280-300 euro including motherboard, rams, and maybe cpu-cooler too, cause it's nearly nothing new happening long time ago. Ok, between sandy bridge and skylake there are sometimes +20-30% core to clock increases in games, so if you tune your sandy bridge to 4.8ghz, and skylake i7 stays at stock, you are at the same level, just your pc is older, and dont have the new stuffs like m.2 ssd, usb 3, 3.1, pci-e 3.0.

My 4690K @ 4.7Ghz (1.30vlts) http://i.picpar.com/uwgc.jpg https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/1180641 ..now at 4.2Ghz, the speed which we think the 7350K test was speed boosting to. http://i.picpar.com/xwgc.jpg https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/1180741 I don't think the 7350K was running at 4.2Ghz, at least I hope it wasn't, because that would mean only about a 5-7% IPC increase since Haswell Devils Canyon 😕 ..which can't be right, can it?

Well kaby lake is just an overclocked skylake with some added features but no improvement in IPC.

What a crummy processor. LOL THis is good for 2D desktoping LOL nah but seriously itsi 2017 and kaby gives us worse performance then a sandy bridge 2600k OCed to hell. hmmmmmmm Why should we care about this. Only for businesses and comnpany users... this is great CPU. But I mean come on now.......

I have USB 3, PCI-E 3 and i7-3770K 16 Gt ram and you will have to pay a lot more than 300 €

Sorry, I was thinking on Sandy Bridge, that's why I wrote to get 3770k. Well, here in Hungary there are sometimes deals for 85.000 HUF, sometimes with 8gb, sometimes with 16gb ram, and maybe you can push the price a little lower 🤓 My pc was a used one too, but just half year old. The guy I bought from bought it for almost 2000 Euro, when I bought it from him the new price (with cheapest prices) would have been 1600+ Euro, and I bought it for 1130 Euro, meanwhile now as new pc it would cost 1400+ Euro. (the guy bought it very overpriced) The haswell and skylake prices are high as used too, but the ivy bridge prices are down, and these are good choices for that price, the only problem is, they are aged, and noone knows when do they die. My nehalem Q9550 lasted for 7,5 years with 24/7 4ghz OC, and I just sold it, but the pc-s before that always went wrong when they became 5 years old.

Its an i3 not and i7 FFS.

Its marketed as unlocked gaming i3 and it will probably cost 150Eur+. So whats your point?

This is with a 4.5GHz i7-2600k and 16GB 1600 DDR3. So not the fastest of Sandys around. Unfortunately there were a number of things running in the background (browser, a Skype call and a git clone), that I couldn't close. http://i.imgur.com/CPzpsQY.jpg

It will be a $150+ DUAL CORE CPU in 2017.

Curious, where along the curve of diminishing returns is this process?

Exactly. Still was an invalid comparison to i7 2600k by earlier poster who expected it to be way ahead.

We would have to have similar benchmarks for generations. People also tend to underestimate the effect of memory timings and speeds. I'm sure that a large part of Skylake's perceived performance comes from it's high-speed DDR4 support and turbo modes. I'm sure that if everything was left alone at the same frequency with similar memory speeds and timings, like locking all the CPUs at 4.0GHz and having 2133 DDR3/4 memory with the same timings, that the total difference from Sandy to Kaby in general computing (no extra AVX2 stuff etc), would probably be within a 10-20% margin, if that. Somebody needs to do that experiment *cough* *cough* Hilbert :P

No dude. There is a single core score there. On which the i7 is actually bottlenecked by slower memory (DDR3), and the general age of the platform. And the i3 which is three process nodes and four architectures newer is barely the same in the single core performance. It's laughable.
