Intel Skylake Leaked Specifications and Performance

[WYP]

Today we have some Intel Skylake specifications and performance to show you, but take this with you daily dose of salt as these remain unconfirmed.

You can read more on Intel's Skylake CPUs here.

No on-board GPU, interesting...

I wonder if the i5 variant will have a on-board GPU

 

[Dicehunter]

Based on those benchmarks it's a waste of time for Haswell owners.

Bring on Cannonlake

so i do not need to wait till skylike and go for Cannonlake. i do not know what the graphs say

The graphs say that going from the 4790K to the 6770K will give you as much of a performance boost as someone with a handfan on a low setting pointing it at a sail ship trying to get it to move ^_^

i still do not understand but i will wait and see i replacing my i7 4770 cpu with a skylike cpu

It's easy to understand if you take your time and look at the given info bud

The passmark scores are very close to each other, Same with the cinebench scores.

This will be good for people building new rigs or on really old CPU's but not so good for people on Haswell, You'll see probably around a 5% performance increase like with every recent iteration from Intel.

They will have an onboard GPU, just this site has no info or benchmarks on it.

These are in all likelihood false. We all know Broadwell will come first, and only 10% for an Intel Tick and Tock is very little.

ok i get it now thanks

my thoughts exactly..

EDIT: unless there is something awesome in the chipsets and motherboards it's not worth going from haswell to skylake. with a bit of luck they would soldering on the IHS and not just some cheap a** thermal compound.

So it's about a 5% increase in performance. For a two generation (tick+tock) advance? New process (Broadwell 10nm) and new architecture and this is it?
I didn't really expect much, maybe about twice the 5-10% for those 2 generations, so therefore maybe 15%.

I just hope DDR4 prices are coming down until that new hardware drops...

Cheers

Broadwell is 14nm just like Skylake, Cannonlake which is out next year is 10nm.

 

[Dextar]

This is very frustrating.. I'm still sitting on an i7-2700k and I've had the itch to upgrade but I've found no reason to. Bah!

 

[MiNo]

I am om x58 with a i7 970 (4 GHz) and Think Skylake Will be just what i have been waiting for. Mostly because of the awsome z170 chipset that rocks additional 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes meaning GPU's in sli Will have more than enough bandwith, and also lanes enough for all the fancy next gen storage that now appears.

Bring it!

 

[NeverBackDown]

Think 10nm, Cannonlake, will be the first worthy upgrade to anything that's SandyBridge and up.

 

[magicc8ball]

Still on ivy bridge 3770k here and when I do upgrade it will be to the 2011 skylake variant, which I believe will be moving to lga2017? But that could change when I see the Cannonlake 20xx variant.

I want those 40 PCIe lanes :evil4:
