Intel's Future Chips: News, Rumours & Reviews

[Supernova1138]

So it seems that august 8th is when the skylake news will drop at gamescom. That said, i own a hyper 212+ at the moment and plan on doing an open cooled water loop in the very near future with the new chip. My question is do you guys think the new socket lga 1151 i believe. Would i be able to use my current after market heatsink on it or would i have to buy a new one completely which i don't mind as their fairly cheap. Also whats the speculation on intel releasing an "enthusiast" version i.e. one without an included heat sink you think it'll decrease costs by 20-40 bucks?

I imagine the mounting brackets will remain the same as they have been since LGA 1156 for the mainstream Intel sockets, as the pin count isn't changing significantly, so the socket should still be the same physical size.

As for a chip being sold without a heat sink, you won't see a retail box on any mainstream CPU that doesn't have one. If you're looking to save a bit of money, you'll have to look for an OEM tray CPU, which doesn't include the cooler, but also has reduced warranty support.

What do you speculate the prices will be? for the 6700k 400-300? or 250-350?

Yeah, probably somewhere in that range, they might wind up being a bit pricier than the current Haswell Refresh chips simply because Intel can get away with it due to AMD not providing any real competition to the i5 and i7 chips for the past 3 years.

It will most likely replace the 4790K price with maybe a 10$ increase anything under 320$ won't happen and i doubt it would cost more then 350$ cause their 6 core is around that range.

I saw a review from China shows that DT Skylake is almost same performance as Haswell, but not sure if it's same on mobile platform.

from the aida64 benchmark, cache bandwidth and latency seems to be up across the board. haswell had higher cache latency over ivy bridge, skylake has higher than haswell.

That is quite interesting. Thanks for that, gamerk.

I wonder why they skip Ivy... In any case, looks like my 2700K does not need to fear yet. Specially at 4.6Ghz.

Cheers!

^^ I got unlucky; my 2600k gets unstable right at 4GHz .

Yea, other than winter F@H, I have no real reason to justify upgrading my 3570k.

intel really, Really wants you to buy an unlocked skylake processor.

gone are the creepy box art from haswell cpus' boxes. so sparkly and shiny!

 

[gamerk316]

Wow, that shiny colorful box makes me want to suddenly buy one!

 

[Supernova1138]

Guess intel decided shiny rainbow colours sell better than Phrenology does.

That's very unlucky before I sold my 2600k setup it ran 4.7Ghz all day, topped out @ 5.1Ghz.

Not even past 4Ghz? I don't think the CPU is the culprit, gamerk. There has to be something else... Did you check everything at the time? I don't want to troubleshoot, cause you're more than capable of, but give it another try. Maybe you had a rough morning that day? haha.

It's like the Psychedelic edition CPUs. "Unlocked for Maximum RAVE!" xD!

Sandy -> Broadwell IPC comparison

Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge: Average ~4.8% Up
Ivy Bridge to Haswell: Average ~10.2% Up
Haswell to Broadwell: Average ~3.3% Up

Looks like they're prepping for the Skylake launch.

I REALLY need an upgrade from this Wolfdale Pentium... urgh.. two more years...

I have a nehalem and am upgrading to skylake in a week or so when its released why are you waiting 2 more years on an older cpu?

Budget problems, my mom, and college.

You can often find Yorkfields (C2Q) on Ebay for around $25-$35, just as an FYI.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Prebuilt Computer. I've already tried, I can just go a higher clocked Pentium of the same type(E5x00, something like that).

 

[logainofhades]

What is the make/model, of your PC?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

HP S5257c-b. I've already looked into the official specs and unofficial posts... Nobody has gotten anything other than a Pentium Dual Core to work, otherwise I'd buy a Q6600

 

[logainofhades]

Yea, looks like the best you can do is a core 2 7xxx.

It's probably the motherboard, to be honest. And I didn't exactly go playing around with voltages too much either. I could probably get to the mid 4's if I bothered to take the time to try.

"Intel HD Graphics 530"? They completely change their GPU naming?

I could have missed that in the earlier links...
