Anybody else wondering this?

A lot of people are super hyped at how far they will be able to OC the 1700x and 1800x and what not but am I the only one curious as to how the regular 1700 will stack up non OC to a skylake i5? Of course we'll have to wait until youtube explodes with videos on the 2nd lol but im hoping it will be equal or greater performance. For the work loads that I do my speed of my i5 seems to be fine but I need more cores, so if the 1700 can meet it then ill be good. My guess is since the base clock is lower but the turbo is a bit higher that it will be equal or slighty better. 

 

And before you answer " omgergd y don u jut w8 fer teh benchmerks u fag " I realize nobody knows shit yet, im theorizing, and nobody said I couldn't.

since its 65w wont OC as well an i5 i would think, but should be pretty decent.

Yeah in single thread it might be a little behind due to clock speeds, but in multi thread workloads it might be as much as 2x faster at stock due to double the cores and SMT.

But seriously, I agree with @Mohenjo.

There's a good chance it'll be almost on par in terms of single threaded performance and leagues better in multi-threaded.  I'm expecting more conservative overclock on the 1700, maybe enough to match or beat a 6500's single threaded (hopefully).

I'm hoping as well, all I need is more cores for my streaming. OBS takes like 30% of my 6500 and that leaves only like 60% (cus 10%ish for browser, google is a hog) for the game which can cause bad stutters, dropped frames, right now im rendering my streams with my GPU.
