Not necessarily. Remember: You would expect threaded workloads to show a larger performance increase, assuming no other bottlenecks are suppressing performance.
 
Cherry trail benchies, from the Surface 3:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9219/the-surface-3-review/5

So clearly the new Cherry Trail CPU cores are not a giant leap in performance over Bay Trail, but like Haswell to Broadwell, there is a decent bump and the better manufacturing process helps increase overall performance due to the additional thermal headroom in the same power envelope. However when comparing it to the ARM competition, we only have a few data points but it does seem to be about on par with the top ARM CPUs at this time. Comparing devices across different operating systems is always difficult though.

Cost cutting measure on MSFTs part. I understand why they did it though. The surface is basically a really low end Laptop feature wise, rather then a high end tablet, and that drives up costs.
 
I was going to buy a new pc with the 4790K. But after reading about the 6700K, I will wait till September, and if by then Skylake is not on the shelves I will go with the Haswell Refresh.
 
Suspicious Intel roadmap leak.

Intel-Roadmap_-Skylake_Cannonlake-635x476.jpg


Skylake low power only for 2 quarters looks odd.
Missing Broadwell LGA too.
 

strange how HEDT segment has haswell and haswell refresh listed. for the -E series cpus with 130w TDP. no broadwell-e, skylake-e.

the bay trail lineup doesn't have airmont cores listed even though the socs are shipping now.

seems like the die-shrinks won't reach higher TDP and desktop segments starting with broadwell.

so strange. could be an old roadmap or total fake.

i doubt we'll see 50% more performance from skylake GT4e in mobile/ulv versions. may be in desktops, .... but those will be really pricey - not worth buying. intel will have to release good launch drivers (fat chance). i am waiting to see how thowse -c series bdw cpus do in compute and gaming benches. imo intel would be better off using less shaders with 64MB EDRAM or 2.5D stacked vram for low power socs.

Bra swell Motherboard Surfaces Online: Quad Core 14nm Airmont in ASUS N3150M-E
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9263/braswell-motherboard-surfaces-online-quad-core-14nm-airmont-in-asus-n3150me



 

they got cinebench r15 graph wrong ( because afaik r15 uses numbers 100 times larger than r11.5 ) , numbers under ten are used in r11.5, after this i was suspicious about its source's credibility


since both are overclockable then i will see if 2500k max overclock can surpass stock 6600k, if not then i may not upgrade ( if i had 2500k 😛 ) , but i will also consider overclocakability of 6600k, if it overclocks as good as 2500k then it may worth upgrade

Intel bids adieu to DDR3: Majority of ‘Skylake-S’ mainboards to use DDR4
http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/intel-bids-adieu-to-ddr3-majority-of-skylake-s-mainboards-will-use-ddr4/


 
I have been wanting to rebuild my rigs into mini-itx systems, as my full towers are just going to be way too big, once I eventually move in with my g/f. I just cannot decide on whether to go with the 1231v3, or wait and see what skylake brings to the table. Z77 mini itx boards are nearly impossible to find, for a decent price. 🙁 At least with Haswell, I could reuse my memory.
 
Intel: We will reveal schedule for 10nm chips later this year
http://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/anton-shilov/intel-we-will-reveal-schedule-for-10nm-chips-later-this-year/
interestingly , intel shows $/transistor is going down with each node shrink (14nm and 10nm being lower than projection) while other fabs (e.g. tsmc) shows cost/transistor going up.

Massive Intel Xeon E5 and Xeon E7 Leak - Skylake Purley to be the Biggest Advancement Since Nehalem
http://wccftech.com/massive-intel-xeon-e5-xeon-e7-skylake-purley-biggest-advancement-nehalem/

excerpt:
broadwell ep and ex seem to be alive and well.
core count is up to "28 cores". i'm guessing this is with hyperthreading enabled (14c/28t). edit2: looks like everyone's saying 28c/56t. 😱
tdp is down to 45w minimum.
memory subsystem has up to 6 channels. <3
pcie gen 3 lanes up to 48. <3
new cpu socket (obviously).
faster memory support (from 2133 and up).
UPI is up to 10.4 GT/s. i don't know what this means - is it a new protocol or something.
 
I have a question. What would the benifits be from upgrading my i5 2500K O/C 4.6 Ghz to the new i5 6600K. Besides the CPU. what will be new to the motherboard chipsets that my current ASUS MAXIMUS IV Gene-Z be. Would it be a worth while upgrade. Or keep what I got?
 

hard to say, until the skylake i5 comes out and gets reviewed.

the motherboard side is easier to answer: sandy's mobos were anemic compared to curent z97, x99 and future z170-something will offer. more i/o, better lane splitting support etc.

it has been strongly suggested that intel will use lga1151 socket for mainstream skylake processors. you can disregard the "it has been strongly suggested that" part even if you take it with a grain of NaCl. :) skylake will be using a hybrid memory controller supporting DDR3L and DDR4 RAM, so motherboard will need changing. you'll need new RAM too, as standard voltage DDR3 might not run (will depend on vendor and memory support).

so until the reviews come out, keep what you got.
 


Also ASUS could add more of their special features if you go with another ROG board.
 


Wait, Skylake will be supporting DDR3, as well? That is the first I have heard of that one.
