So I was reading an article on Anandtech that was basically doing a gen by gen comparison of Intel's processors and came across this little tid bit.
Despite some of the numbers in gaming ( i know they really only focused on i7's) not showing that much of a differnece (1-3 fps difference) between all the generations, they mention that Skylake is an ~25% increase in performance over Sandy Bridge.
Is it worth it to upgrade? I personally think so. I just want your opinions on it.

Overall, Skylake is not an earth shattering leap in performance. In our IPC testing, with CPUs at 3 GHz, we saw a 5.7% increase in performance over a Haswell processor at the same clockspeed and ~ 25% gains over Sandy Bridge.
