er...DDR3L and DDR3 are slightly different. same slot, same interface, but lower voltage (likely higher price). if the mobo vendor doesn't validate memory kits, users wishing to reuse their kits will be s.o.l. skylake will support DDR4, which uses 1.2v, lower than DDR3's 1.5-1.65v. i think it'll highly depend on mobo and intel.
 

it's a basic specs comparison like cpuboss. it may have gotten i5 4690k's turbo spec wrong. 3.9GHz turbo is for single core, not all cores. the benchmarks seem derived, not measured.
 

these are the same ones from cpumonkey.

Broadwell: Intel Core i5-5675C And i7-5775C Review

Knew it. Intel are having a giraffe.

Last week I bit the bullet and went with an X99-S, 5820K, 2400MHz DDR4 system as it was in total only £40 more expensive than a 4790K with the a Z97 high end Sabertooth Mk1 board and 2100MHz DDR3 RAM and I needed it as my Sandy Bridge i5 was bottlenecking my GPU.

Skylake will likely be around the same price, but it appears it's not much quicker than a 4790K, and has less cores than a 5820K.

IMO, Skylake is going to hinge purely on how well it overclocks for desktop users. The extra PCI-E lanes may appeal to those who need the additional GPU's, though you're kidding yourself if you think x16/x16 is any better than x16/x8. It's a no brainer for laptop users though largely because of that iGPU and low power consumption.

Perhaps AMD will get their act together and force Intel into a serious upgrade after Cannonlake.
 

according to the rumors, the mainstream cpus will have 4 cores like current cpus. the HEDT ones (skylake-e) will likely have more than 4 cores.
 
Indeed, though Skylake-E will likely be just as overpriced as the X99 was on launch.

I got my X99 system for £924.00 via PCSpecialist. Using the exact same parts on PCPartPicker it came to about £870.00, though I don't mind paying the additional £50.00 premium for someone else to do it and tidy up the insides for me, i'm a lazy git 🙂

I'm set for the future, probably for a good number of years as well, six core beast, it's quick, overclockable when needed and it's just my GPU which will soon need to be upgraded to keep up with it.

If a Z97 system of similar spec costs just a bit less, I can't see Skylake having parity, it'll destroy Z97 sales. Likewise lowering the price for Z97 to make way may for Skylake wll not not do Skylake-S any favours whatsoever given the 4790k is already a 4GHz chip with an even higher clock boost.
 

intel doesn't lower prices like that. z97 platform will get phased out before skylake and skylake-e comes out.that's how intel rolls out new platforms each generation. 4790k is actually a stopgap. after intel faced problems producing broadwell cpus on time, it released binned haswell cpus as devil's canyon series.
 
I'm building a new water cooled PC and am wondering if it's any use waiting for the 6960x and then get a price reduction on the 5960x. From what I've been able to find out we are talking Q1-2016, is that correct?

ivy-e, 4670k. 4770k go bye bye. and
New information on future entry-level desktop and mobile Intel products was posted by Benchlife.info at the end of May. Currently, entry-level processors, or more correctly systems-on-a-chip, are based on Braswell core and Airmont 14nm microarchitecture. Braswell is going to be replaced with "Apollo Lake" in 2016. The CPU microarchitecture will change to Goldmont, which is also built on 14nm technology. The integrated GPU will make use of Gen9 architecture and it will support 4K resolutions. New peripheral options on Apollo Lake SoCs will be Type-C (USB-C?) and eMMC 5.0. The number of USB ports will be increased. The processors will be available in FC-BGA Type-3 package. Mass production of Apollo Lake SoCs will commence in June 2016.

check the amd cpus sticky thread in the cpus section.

no, no one will be killing anyone.

skylake is getting a "refresh", apparently to hold up till cannonlake gets released. +NaCl
