It's not expected that 4790K users will purchase these. It's expected that Nehalem/Sandy/Ivy users will move to this new platform.

i heard that 6700k can overclock to 5ghz on air cooler

personally i like the number 5 a lot more than the number 4 so ive been trying to overclock various chips to 5ghz for a while now

it would be nice to have one that can do that

It's a shot in the dark. It's a pre-production binned chip and it probably wasn't under the best voltage (IIRC it wasn't stress validated.)

Well I'm about to get a 5820K or a 5930K and I have a Asus X99 deluxe motherboard Will this new chipset 6700K support it?

The X99 Deluxe? No, the sixth generation Intel chips are meant for LGA1151 Z170 boards.

I doubt that 6700k is legit, plus it was most likely an early prototype leaked or a faulty chip?

I'll wait for benchmarks from people like Luke and see the overclocking potential ect.. If not I'll go up to my local microcenter and pick up a 4790k for like $250 ( the price will drop at microcenter, it always does )

I'm kind of a little bit confused about everyone's opinion I have an aces X 99 deluxe motherboard with socket LGA 2011 -V3 Will the new Skylake 6700K support my motherboard? My PC that I'm almost finished currently building from scratch is almost done all I need is a CPU to SSDs and the power supply

This is not the DC2 to I5 upgrade. I'd say it's a decent chip, but they have not made leaps and bounds since the I5-2500K/i7-2600K in my opinion. That's why I still have it.

 

I'm sure motherboards have made improvements but REALLY you're not going to see huge improvements in games. Maybe it is great in video editing or something.... but even 10% increase isn't much from 2011 when I upgraded. The P4 to DC2 was huge as well. I'm not seeing that HUGE upgrade to look forward too really.

I'd consider it if it's cooler than my current CPU and the motherboards are cheap :P.

Skylake is sovket 1151 so no it will not support socket 2011
