well, skylake is all nice and dandy with HD6200, but i must remind people that the units used in those benchmarks are Broadwell chips, meant ot have super high iGPU performance, at ridiculous costs (that i5 alone costs nearly 300 USD).

 

Maybe they will keep the iGPU like that, It is still interesting to see how they will perform in low end budgets though. i have a feeling DDR3 based Kaveri and Godavari will keep up due to he exceptionally high CAS latency of DDR4 ram. If you want lower latencies for DDR4, it costs a small fortune atm.....

For those who dont get it...

 

Low CAS latency RAM can be "as quick" as RAM with higher CAS latency and higher speeds.

Cas 8 1600MHz would be almsot as fast as Cas 10 1866.... Which means that with most DDR4 2133 or 2400 being CAS

DDR4 is 18 USD more expensive, but also with worse CAS latency, by a notable margin... So... yeah...

I know Intel uses 128mb of EDRAM on-die. But that RAM also need to fetch its data from the main RAM (you dont get much data into 128mb storage these days).... So the higher latency and slower that main RAM is, the worse intels APUs will work too... Just not going to notice is as much as with AMDs Kaveri chips

My intentions were to entirely ignore a gpu for the sake of having the money for something like the 5775c, since the bulk of what I do uses little gpu horsepower aside from those 2 games.

my point is not the performance, its the cost.

while skylake may see better iGPU, i am uncertain if it will be as powerful as the broadwell chips, seeing as these seems ot be targeted as "laptop/HTPC gaming" chips more then anything. Either way, if the iGPU remains unchanged, intel will have a very strong offering with their Skylake chips. If it gets nerfed, things will get interesting for sure.
