Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K Benchmarks

How does the 6600k do against the 5820k at the same clock speed?

 

5820k wins in multi thread apps, single thread 6700k wins.

 

Pretty much what I expected right on heals of 5820k

 

I wonder how this will look once dx12 is properly used.

 

How come the TDP has shot up to 95 W from Broadwells 65?

 

Well this is certainly underwhelming.. if its true of course.

 

iGPU would be my guess

 

The first graph is not really linear, the vertical bar are every 2000 points, but from 10100 to 11900 they stop near the first vertical bar of 10.000

 

With iGPU irrelevant, Im still wondering what jumping ship form AMD to Intel will make sense.

Was going to wait for Skylake, but people here seem so underwhelmed

 

So if they were both clocked to 4GHz, the 5820k would still lose?

 

No. 6700k wins in single threaded because 5820k is 3.3ghz vs 4ghz for 6700k

 

Cant wait to see how one of these do at 4.8 ghz... How much more it performs then my 4790k at 4.8 and 2400mhz ram.

 

Well ignoring the 5820K (since it's a 6 core / 12 Thread CPU) and comparing it directly with the 4790K which is clocked at the same speed and has the same number of cores and threads the new chips are faster. Granted it's not blowing the 4790K away at all but it's still "technically" faster. What I'd actually like to see though is some multi GPU benchmarks since games then demand more from the CPU's over these with a single GTX 780 and see how those two compare.

Still a viable upgrade for me anyway so I'm looking forward to them being released, not only for the CPU upgrade but more for the motherboard improvements since the X58 was introduced.

 

Lol... glad I got my devil's canyon now.

 

I don't especially understand the i5's TDP of 95W when the clocks are so pitiful compared to the i7's, which still boasts the same 95W. Seems like bull****.

 

Looks like the slight performance bump is more due to clocks speeds rather than IPC improvement... Don't see how Intel expects people to upgrade if these benches are true. I guess the hint is that if you want performance, be ready to cash out on LGA2011.

 

Ah these benchmarks again.
Like many have said on other sites they are NOT real!
PC FRM even says in their article that the made these projected benchmarks based on intels previous releases.

 

Fake!

Just take a look at numbers and bar lengths, even the 1st one - 11500 is >10% more than 10100, but the bar is just a tiny bit longer. It's the same with the rest.

I despise the pathetic being that created such piece of garbage.

 

Not fantastic but much better than previous improvements. Whose on ix 2xxx and older might seriously consider upgrading now. Though the overclock performance is yet to be seen.
