4690K V.S. 6600K

[Madone6]

Which is better? If the 6600K is better, how much better is Skylake?

[Guest]

Skylake has much better graphics and around 10% cpu improvement

Yes

Ok, So it is worth the extra US$25 and new motherboard

And new RAM (DDR4 != DDR3). And yes.

An extra 25 dollars yes a new motherboard no if you are using a gpu just but the 4690k

Of course iet is. If it were worse, Intel would not have launched it.

 

- DDR4 (practical not much faster, just when CPU Bottlenecks, but its the fuuutuuuuuure)

- M.2 with full Speed 

- USB Type C

- CPU can be 0-20% faster, depending on situations. Skylake is said to be able to hold frames better (see Eurogamer tests)

- CPU Stays cooler than haswell

 

If the Price difference is only 25 Dollar, then fuck haswell. Skylake all the way.

$25 for 6600k instead of 4690k is worth it

if you already have a Z97 motherboard, then no, buying a new motherboard will cost at least $150 and then its not worth it

if this is a new PC youre building, then yes its worth getting a 6600K+Z170 motherboard instead of a 4690k+z97 motherboard

But you have to get a Z170 Mobo which is generally more expensive and DDR4 which is also more expensive

I ment 97 not 79!!!

[Darkseth]

True. Anyway, even at 50 bucks more, i would go with skylake. But that's just me, i really don't like buying an older platform, if the newer is out.

I thought you meant Z97 anyway

DDR4 is basically the same price as DDR3 and you can get motherboards for cheap.

OK

It's really not any better unless you look at the very tiny specifics. Its ever so slightly faster and it has some new power saving features but for the most part it's the same. There are differences on the chipset level but it mostly comes down to the motherboard manufacturer and what they implement.

If your building a new rig go skylake if you already have a haswell or haswell refresh, there is no need to upgrade... unless you just want to have the latest stuff...
