Well it looks like Skylake is Due Q3 2015 (Between July and September), while Broadwell will be launching soon in Q2 (at least by June). Kind of interesting that they chose to launch Broadwell in Q2 and then a quarter later launch Skylake. Not really understanding the point of that to be honest, but I believe it had to do with Intel being behind on 14nm process. The i7-5775C, is the 4C/8T 4790k equivalent while the i5-5675C is the 4C/4T 4690k equivalent both unlocked and overclockable. Then a few months later Skylake launches with the 6700k and the 6600k. The 6700k being the 4790k equivalent while the 6600k being the 4690k equivalent. Broadwell was supposed to just be a die shrink, and usually we expect 5-10% IPC performance increases from that (tick). Then here almost a few months later Skylake will launch with at least another 10-15% IPC performance increase, and is supposedly completely redesigned (tock) so we could see even higher than 15% IPC increases but I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. All in all looks like Skylake will definitely Coexist with Broadwell as stated in previous leaked rumors. But, in the end, Skylake could offer at minimum a 15% improvement over Haswell considering we can expect at least 5% IPC increase from Broadwell and then another 10% from Skylake. Now this is bare minimum increase. We could see up to 10% from Broadwell, and another 10-15% from Skylake which could bring it closer to 20-25% increase in IPC compared to Haswell which at this point means if you are running Sandy Bridge or even pre-Sandy Bridge. You are looking at a nice gain in performance from moving to Skylake.

exciting news. hope skylake lives up to the hype

 

if not, i'm going to even more content with my recent 4790k purchase esp. with how beast it's been overclocking lately.

[Adreyu]

I feel like broadwell is going to be a low power consumption option, that has the relative performance of haswell 

[Adreyu]

I'm planning on upgrading to skylake once its out and sell my Z77 sabertooth board + 3770k. My 980 is being throttled by it

there is no way, come on

Huh?

Its hardly being throttled by 3770k

[Goldensapling]

They could've picked a better name.... http://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Quad-Core-A8-6600K-Radeon-AD660KWOHLBOX/dp/B00CPLGGWS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430778032&sr=8-1&keywords=a8+6600kIt's sort of already taken

[Trik'Stari]

So, will these be using lga 1150 or not?

wouldn't get your hopes up. extra power saving, probably more rubbish tim between the die and heat spreader and vrm's on the cpu again. very boring and cool at stock, but they will get hot quickly and need delidding. 

[ZestyJalapeno]

LGA 1151 iirc.

[BiG StroOnZ]

Broadwell is on 1150, Skylake is on 1151 so you will need a new motherboard for Skylake but you can drop in a Broadwell processor with an 1150 motherboard (after Bios update most likely)

[Adreyu]

LGA 1151 iirc.

what the heck is with this naming scheme

[Trik'Stari]

Broadwell is on 1150, Skylake is on 1151 so you will need a new motherboard for Skylake but you can drop in a Broadwell processor with an 1150 motherboard (after Bios update most likely)

Any overclockable broadwell CPU's?

[Agosto]

I'll probably get the 6700K. Hope Intel stops increasing prices, they're still growing.

Well this is what I predict based on my own feelings and a few rumors (of course I'm being optimistic as well). 

 

The 6700k and 6600k are supposed to be 95W processors, which is quite an increase from Haswell's 88W. Which means, they might have the enthusiast in mind with these processors. Also Skylake is a tock, so it's supposed to be redesigned not just a die shrink. Which means they could go back to soldiering, and the reason I feel that they might is the increase in TDP and the fact that they revised the naming scheme to the xx00k just like with Sandy Bridge's 2600k and 2700k. I feel like Skylake might be the processor that awed everybody like Sandy Bridge did. Low temps, great overclocks, nice gain in IPC.

The i7-5775C, is the 4C/8T 4790k equivalent while the i5-5675C is the 4C/4T 4690k equivalent both unlocked and overclockable.

[Trik'Stari]

The i7-5775C, is the 4C/8T 4790k equivalent while the i5-5675C is the 4C/4T 4690k equivalent both unlocked and overclockable.

Worth upgrading from a 4690k to the 5675c?

[ivan134]

1st of all, its "bottleneck", not throttle. 2nd, you're lying. Please tell us what game a 980 gets bottlenecked by a 3770k and provide evidence.

[spartaman64]

According to tests I've run it is. I didn't believe it either.

can the gpu reach 95-100% usage if so then its not bottlenecked

its going to be the typical 10% performance increase probably

Not really "equivalent", they're more like the R series, but unlocked. In fact the Broadwell C processors are going to have only 6 and 4 MB of L3, Iris Pro iGPU and lower stock clock

[BiG StroOnZ]

Not to a 5675C. Worth it if you are going to a 5775C.

[BiG StroOnZ]

Equivalent in the sense that they are either 4C/8T or 4C/4T, and overclockable...

well if it does all of that then i will be buying into it, but i held of on dc after being suspicious of intel and i was correct. i got a G3258, but i never got the i5 or i7, because getting a decent one is very hard. also with intel still having no competition from amd, they can pretty much do whatever they want so i wouldn't put it past them to fail us again.

Now we need 2011-v3 Skylake-E edition.
