Also interesting is that they found a decrease in gaming performance at 3.0ghz vs Haswell. Now, if Skylake could be expected to maintain higher frequencies than Devil's Canyon chips then the slight (3-5%) decrease could be overcome - but a Devil's Canyon i7 (the 4790k) has the same 4.0ghz base frequency as the new i7-6700K, and what looks like the same turbo frequencies.
- Retric 11y agoLooks like at base clock speeds it's a ~50% increase vs a 2600K. However, I have a ~20% OC so I really need to see how much the 6700K OC's. Still it's seems unlikely to be worth spending ~750$ for a new CPU, RAM, Cooler, and MB.
- Skunkleton 11y agoAccording to Anandtech, it is only a 35% increase relative to the base clocked 2600k :/. Also, DDR4 isn't yet a real improvement over DDR3.
- mmebane 11y agoI have a 2600k at 4.5 GHz (probably can go faster, since I haven't put much effort into overclocking). For almost everything I do, it's fine, but some games in Dolphin still push the limits. It's really annoying when something runs perfectly well most of of the time, but has occasional slight speed drops. 25% faster clock-for-clock would probably fix this in most of the games I care about, and that might be enough to get me to upgrade.
