Intel's Skylake Core I7 6700K has been a wild ride and at times we would look up and dawn was making its first little crack before we realized it. We benchmarked the i7 6700K so hard the bench hit back and we may well need plastic surgery on our gluteus M...
Fastest CPU we've tested, outside of much pricier Extreme Edition chips, Simplified overclocking options, Chipset delivers more PCI Express wiggle room for super-fast storage
In single-threaded tasks, not substantively faster in our testing than previous-generation chips, Requires a new motherboard, Slightly higher TDP than its year-old Haswell “Devil's Canyon” counterpart
Intel's first 6th-Generation (“Skylake”) CPU delivers a decent performance boost over last year's Devil's Canyon chip, while supporting both DDR3 and DDR4 memory. All good, but the extra PCIe lanes that come with the supporting Z170 chipset may be the bi...

performance, power consumption, overclocking, DDR4 support
Intel made its tick-tock in 4 month and launched Broadwell followed by Skylake. The former was just the transition to 14nm while the latter brought a new architecture, support for DDR4 and better overclocking capabilities.Broadwell is similar to Haswell b...

Skylake offers improved efficiency and overclocking over Haswell while the new Z170 chipset tops the Z97 with more USB 3.0/PCIe 3.0 lanes, PCIe 3.0 storage support and Intel RST.
The Core i76700K is generally no faster than the i74790K, which will make it difficult to coax purchases out Haswell and Ivy Bridge owners. Availability is rumored to be limited.
Abstract: These days there are basically two different groups of customers who demand lots of processing power: content creators and gamers, while this 2D performance comparison is targeting content creators. After having had a look at the following pages you'll ha...
Now that the new 7th generation Intel Core i7-7700K has been tested against the previous 6th generation Intel Core i7-6700K at the same clock speeds (4.5GHz), I have come to my overall conclusion. There is no actual performance increase on the IPC and asi...
Totalling up the price reveals some interesting insights as to whether the Genome II is good value in terms of raw components. Its 360mm radaitor AIO coolers - the Captain 360 and Captain 360 EX retail for around £110 and decent PCI-E riser cables can cos...
Supports DDR4 up to 4266 MHz and beyond, Support for PCI-E M.2 SSDs for insane read/write speeds to non-volatile storage, No more Fully Integrated Voltage Regulators (FIVR), Runs cooler than previous generations
It is very expensive for a quad core with Hyper Threading, Requires yet another motherboard change from previous gens
The question on everyone's mind, for those whom are still looking at a possible upgrade is very simple; is Skylake worthy of my money and will it be a worthwhile upgrade? There's some very compelling evidence that would suggest a few things, so let's run...
Abstract: In this article we're going to compare the Core i7-6700K to the Core i5-6600K regarding gaming performance. Both processors are tested at stock clocks as well as overclocked to 4.5 GHz and we're going to hit them with quite a few games as well as theoreti...
