Intel Gimping Skylake, Runs Hotter Than Devils Canyon

[Matt23]

Based on this it seems intel is trying to be cheap when it comes to manufacturing these processors.

          A very good comparison between the 6600k back to the 2500k along with the FX-8350.

Doesn't skylake have a higher wattage...?

[Oshino Shinobu]

Really wouldn't surprise me. It's not like the "competition" will take over if they cheap out on a new high end CPU. 

[Aniallation]

Skylake Refresh inevitable now /s

[Chasem121]

It's been known for awhile that Skylake would be mostly disappointment. It's clear that without AMD there to put a boot up Intel's ass they will never put out a meaningful upgrade to their product line. They have no incentive to make sure their products are good quality.

This happens with every die shrink.

 

Once those transistors get close together, they get freaking hot.

 

They have made processors that burn through the mobo... then the case.. than the floor.

Or just burn everything you own......(fucking Netburst).

wouldnt suprise me aswell if they were using shitty thermal paste's again... intel really need to start soldering chips again...

I have one of those netburst chips.

 

But the real danger were the AMD Chips of the time. freaking thing would literally catch on fire.

[ManWithBeard1990]

More transistors on less area means a bigger challenge trying to remove heat from them. The same was true of Ivy Bridge back in the day compared to Sandy Bridge.

[xTrekStorex]

still gonna use it in my next build since it can't run hotter than AMD and watercooling it anyways

Ikr? AMD relied on motherboard manufacturers to ensure that the CPU didn't overheat and catch fire-because they couldn't be fucked in ensuring that their Athlons had some form of quality (unlike their older K6-2 series-which never got hot enough to burn even without a cooler).

when die shrinking ends, intel will be forced into increasing die sizes which increases power consumption and decreases yield amounts per wafers. it makes sense they'd want to shrink the die size as much as possible until then.

 

the tim is a disappointment tho. will def delid my 6600k and put some better compound on.

Even MX-2 is better, which is just sad. Though I recommend Gelid GC Extreme as there is no point in skimping on the TIM the way Intel has. Unless your not overclocking of course.

They should just push for Socket 2011 to become the norm if it'll keep getting hotter and hotter with each shrink.  The new enthusiast socket can be Socket 4022.  It'll be the size of a M-ITX mobo, but it'll get the job done.

Nah, its power consumption is basically identical to the i7-4790K. Its TDP is higher because its heat dissipation isn't as good
