Intel skylake cpu prices revealed

[PerfectTemplar]

The article itself says it's not msrp and they expect msrp to be higher. Sorry I didn't read the article before making the comment, but I just did.

Hmh, well an Australian retailer confirmed MSRP for the 6700K on an Australian forum (whirlpool) at $515 AUD. Including our tax, GST which is 10%

Hopefully that is ok for you. I don't know prices honestly. Also I am jealous that everywhere else I've been to tax is pre-figured into the sales.

Hmh, not if they also encode and upload vods. Also, lots of them earn a ridiculous amount of money for the little work they do anyway. I think they can afford to waste money on something they won't use.

 

 

It is MSRP, distributors always provide MSRP.

 

 

They probably don't encode and upload videos.

It's required by law in Australia for GST to be included in advertised price. If it isn't the retailers get a big fine.

Still jealous... I can't even tell you what sales tax is going to be in most places in the US before buying something there. (Even within a state variations up to 5% exist).

$316 for the i7-6700k, $225 for the i5-6600k? These don't have the Iris Pro 6200 graphics like Broadwell, do they?

[SteveGrabowski0]

The retail boxes look horrible  :lol:

 

From pcperspective:

Supposedly they do. I just want to see a lower range locked I5 or a I3 with iris pro.

I believe you get a few more available PCIe lanes on the 1151 boards, 20 if memory serves over the 16 that you used to get. (which would allow you to use all the extra 1x slots on your board with dual SLI - handy.) Other than that there's an upgrade to the iGPU and a marginal upgrade to the IPC (not that much over Haswell, most likely). I don't know many other details than that.

20 gen 3 lanes from the chipset. Z97 only has 8 gen 2 lanes. Both type of cpus have 16 lanes.

It doesn't appear they have Iris Pro

 

 

Looks like wccftech is reporting the i5-6400 at $170 with 2.7 GHz base clock and 3.2 GHz turbo. That sounds like a ridiculously low base clock to me though.

ahhhhhhhh ok so that's what it was. Thanks for the reminder

With the right motherboard you should be able to take that up a notch with a BCLK OC.

It does sound odd. Btw supposedly skylake brings another new generation of graphics that is supposed to even make broadwell look bad (10-41% difference according to an internal leak) so it's quite possible that the "530 graphics" is that iris pro successor.

Why are any of you actually surprised????

 

Intel does the same thing year after year, each teir chip is going to chost roughly the same as the current teir, and the previous generations teir. For example, the 4690k, and the 3750k both cost the same as the 6600k, and the damned 6700k costs the same as a 4790K or a 3770K. they'll do the same damn thing for as long as they can, because the difference in performance from generation to generation is the same as the price. Marginally different.

We are not surprised, that said we still have speculation room.

Well, at the very least; Skylake is likely an upgrade both in CPU and in the motherboards / chipset for people of Sandy and back.  It should hold most people over until Skylake-E, and Zen.  Let's all hope that Skylake-E has a 10 or 12 core extreme chip for $1000.  Let's also hope all software becomes multi-threaded to kingdom come, as well.

A ton of the people who posted first were seeming to be surprised that the prices were, where they are.

The i7-4790k was a $350 chip and the i7-6700k that replaces it gets a $34 official price cut to $316. The i5-4690k was $243 officially and its replacement i5-6600k gets an $18 official price cut to $225. I think these prices are pretty awesome myself if true. Intel must be getting some great yields to cut prices on better CPUs. I really hope this is true. If the i5-6400 officially sells at $170 you might end up seeing it at $150 in a few months.

[PortentousLad]

Still no octas?

[Guest]

Awesome prices! Any news on when they will be released?

I predict august 5th

 

EDIT: CALLED TI!

[Misanthrope]

No i3?

 

They're announced but no pricing though

[AlwaysFSX]

Hey these prices aren't bad, but I still wish they'd be like $10 or $20 cheaper.

 

@STR_Mape

wait the 5960x is 16 threads? the hell. i thought it was 4an8 lol this whole time.

..how..

Sadly, that was only for Mobile skylake SKU's. The desktop versions do not inherit Iris Pro, and will not be faster than broadwell's iGPU.

i7 6700 - $282

[CTR640]

We Europeans are fucked. We high likely have to pay much higher than the $.
