Any chance that tpu will be reviewing the skylake - s variants since the k variants will only come later?

Skylake-S will include two K processors at the top end. 6600k and 6700k. Both 95w parts with stupendously high Base clocks.

Those k parts are due in October.

So you believe the rumor. If so do you think skylake will use the morph core?
Apparently there are benchmarks showing a disappointing increase
Morph or no morph?

Well I hope we see a early review(directly after the launch if availability is not a problem) ;)

Wait we're already due for Skylake? To put it in perspective: Since 2010 Intel has released 7 sockets for desktop use - three if you only count mainstream. That's insane.

God no. The technical stuff is interesting, but I doubt it'll be a revolution.

True but a possible 20% increase in ipc is still something to look out for :'D

And if not Canonlake aka 2gen skylake (5-10% increase?) so by summing the highest together you get a 30% increase that's revolutionary if you're still stuck on Haswell or below :roll:

20‰ IPC increase ain't gonna happen. I wouldn't expect much performance increase from skylake. It's sole purpose is power saving and ddr4.

And most of those 7 sockets have been pointless

What about quad channel support?
I thought skylake would give us the features the old first generation i7 extreme had aka 64GB support :/
