Skylake - let's wait and pray for it together

SKYLAKE IS COMING!​

Intel's Skylake CPU generation are coming this year, let's collect all rumours and leaks for it in this thread and therefore prevent weak individuals to upgrade their old CPU with outdated and overpriced Haswell shit.

This is the rumoured line-up, possibly coming august/september:




Rumours are that we will get atleast 15% IPC over Haswell, that will make for some nice chips.

 

Who names this shit?

 

Ikr, I'm losing my shit at "6400, 6600, & 6700".

 

Yeah Emma isn't really a sexy name.

 

I'm looking forward to Skylake Core M.

 

^ This guy gets it. ^

No need to get hyped about Intel's mainstream architectures at desktop tdps anymore. They are being designed for far smaller power envelopes, so that's where the cool stuff will occur.

But keep hoping for a ridiculous 15% ipc at 95w, even though the architecture's "sweet spot" is way way lower.

 

Spartacus pls. You promised to only post in tech threads if you had a faint clue what you are talking about.

 

That was before I knew that non-k skylake would top out at 65w. I'm not sure why you aren't a little alarmed by that.

 

Only weirdos with their "babby"-PCs care about non-K chips. 65W TDP is still enough headroom if you consider it's a 14nm process and the voltage regulation has been removed from the chip (that's ~5W less).

Besides that, I'm convinced that 95, 65, 35 just stands for the categories those chips are supposed to fit in, not the exact TDP those chips will have in the end.

 

I read somewhere that TDP values for CPUs are actually TDP categories.

 

Let's hope they are simply marketing benchmarks and have no correlation to heat output, because I like my desktop chips toasty as fuck.

 

I ran my old Q6600 at 95C for about 4 years. It never died.

 

Your Q6600 got only 4 years of usage? What a waste!

Google i7-5820K.

 

Stop trolling and get yourself a AMD CPU, then you get all those threads.

 

The many cored "E" variants lag behind by like a year compared to the first iteration of that particular architecture, so it'll be a couple years before skylake-e's 6-8 cores show up.

I think Broadwell-e oughta be arriving soon, but Broadwell on desktop is like that red headed step child that no one likes, so I wouldn't hold my breath for that. Haswell-e and it's cheap-ish 6-core cpu was where it was at for upgraders about a year ago.

 

I only value upgrades if they help.

Will this be a good upgrade from what i have?

(Pretty sure i need a better CPU,then get a new mobo.)

 

What are you on, Sandy Bridge? You could probably make it as long as you keep gaming at ~1080p.
