4.2GHz -> 3.6 Ghz ->3.5 GHz
Kind of expected. Now from Sandy Bridge onward?
Intel P43, Pentium E5200 (wolfdale-3m) @4.2GHz ->Q6600@3.6GHz-> Intel Z97 i5-4590@3.5GHz 😀 MHz went down, yet least CPU bound compared to previous 2 configs :miracle:

So far there hasn't been much point if you have a Sandy onward. I've changed out a couple AMD CPUs since then that were true upgrades, but nothing from Intel.

meh, is it just me or no one excited with Skylake? I am gonna stick with my x5650 setup for another 1-1.5 years.

I am excited. It's pretty sweet that I get to keep mobo and upgrade just CPU if need be.

I was excited when I come on the forums and asked if Skylake would be a good upgrade for me... Then the replies poured in and all that enthusiasm was gone ha ha! I'll only consider one if I somehow manage to wack my CPU whilst overclocking. So... Cannonlake anyone...?

Here's a serious question: When was the last time any of you upgraded your CPU after three years without upgrading the rest of your system?
um back when 286x was thing and amd released addon cpu? This luanch intrested me guess i waiting some more yet again. my 920@stock lived this long it can live another year or so lol

Let's hope so. Kinda itching to upgrade. Even so, Sandy is still damn strong and best overclocker so far. 🙂

Well Sandybridge => Haswell made ~500-600MHz difference Haswell => Broadwell ~100-200MHz difference Haswell => Skylake ~ 300-400MHz difference So theoretically you're looking ~ 1GHz speed increase efficiency over Sandybridge at same frequency, 4.5GHz Skylake is 5.5GHz SandyBridge.

Well my 2500k at 4.8Ghz should be around i5 6600k stock 3.9Ghz performance. For a 4 year old CPU, that is very good. i5 6600k even on stock should be enough for gaming, right?

I'm still itching here too lol Well, we'll see how well mine OCs tomorrow...

I'd think so, yeah. And we gamers don't need those threads on the i7, although the i7-6700 does come with nice stock clocks! 4/4.2. I do wonder why this site lists DDR4 only? http://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-intel_core_i7_6700k-518

^ This, this makes me exciting enough to think 'What if I do...'.

If your 2600k can clock to 4.5ghz plus. That's more than enough for gaming. I just upgraded my 2600k after my mb took a dump. Else I would still be using it. There isn't much difference in gaming between second Gen Sandy bridge and devils canyon. Non game related stuff sure but not gaming.

Yeah I know. Am aiming for 4.4 tomorrow and take it from there. Too bad your mobo crapped out! It's in the back of my head, my mobo and CPU being 3.5 years in use now and that it could give, but I'll see then if I cross that bridge.

My 2600k was oc from day 1. Lasted over 4 years like that.

I'm somewhat looking forward to it. Fact is, I'm not going to need it now. I've played GTA 5 and now Arkham Knight will also be released in a couple of days. Perhaps 2016's Cannonlake + Nvidia Pascal would be a better step up (ie. **** to play).

Honestly all the socket changes are probably for motherboard manufacturers. They have nothing going for them now in days. Nearly zero differentiation. Especially now that pretty much everything is on the processor.
Since the socket changes affect all OEMs equally I don't see how "all the socket changes are probably for motherboard manufacturers." Intel's tick-tock cycle has been like it is now for years and it is just a platform that all OEMs must use unless they want to go create their own platform (good luck with that).

Because it sells more motherboards? I didn't say it gave an advantage to one or another, I just said that it helps them. If every socket was the same, people would upgrade their motherboards far less often because of lac actual value-add by the board itself.

Yep. Skylake isnt a die shrink of an existing arch (like broadwell), its all new.

Btw, was completely out of the loop on Iris Pro, amazing performance for IGP. Whats the skylake equivalent going to be like?

yes Broadwell, I keep mixing the two. New Broadwell Irirs looks like a perfect summer/light-mid/gaming/silent GPU :banana: AMD has nothing to compete with this, and it will hurt Nvidia just as well, and proly more.
