The how, what and why questions that surround overclocking often result in answers that either confuse or dazzle, depending on the mind-set of the user listening. At the end of the day, it originated from trying to get extra performance for nothing. Buyin...

This review arrives a few days late from the embargo date even though I had the CPU ready for a week before launch. I have only received my first Z170 motherboard the night before the morning embargo, so needless to say, I would not have had the time to...
Intel states that this is not the full release of the Skylake lineup, which will be happening during IDF in a few days. Looking at the overall performance of the new platform pairing the Core i7 6700K and the Z170 chipset, I can't wait to get more details...
So at the end of the day how did the i7-6700K/Skylake perform? Well on the CPU side of things it performed about how you would expect. It was an overall improvement from the i7-4790K in most tests but a few tests that favor higher clock speeds still had...

Reasonably priced, Overall improved performance, Quick Sync, HyperThreading, Improved HD video performance, Unlocked, Low Power
Immature Platform
Well, I would love to say that I had a pleasurable experience testing the new chipset and processor but the best overall experience I can mention was frustration. I have multiple kits of DDR4 memory so I figured at least one should work since Intel introd...
Overclocking options are easier to navigate than in previous models. Chipset delivers more PCI Express wiggle room for super-fast storage. Overall performance is better than any other CPU on the market, save for Extreme Edition models.
You'll need a new motherboard. Only slight performance gains over previous-generation chips in single-threaded tasks
The biggest draw of the Core i7-6700K, Intel's first sixth-generation CPU, isn't the performance. Rather, it's the extra PCIe lanes that come with the supporting Z170 chipset, which may mean storage that's as fast as the processor...

The biggest advantage of moving to a Skylake / Z170 platform is in memory capabilities, for those who can't afford X99 but may perform tasks that'd benefit from DDR4. Gaming is not one of those tasks (there may actually be slight overhead for gaming). Vid...
I like Skylake, a lot. Outside of the performance and connectivity benefits that it offers, Skylake is the most mature launch platform that I have ever worked with. The Intel Core i7-6700K and i5-6600K and new Z170 motherboards should give Sandy Bridge us...

Let's summarize our results with a couple of our famous power-performance scatter plots. The first one is based on a geometric mean of all of our non-gaming application tests, and the second one focuses on our frame-time-based game performance results. A...

Abstract: Although Intel is holding many of the architectural details regarding its latest Skylake-based, 6th generation Core processors back until the Intel Developers Forum goes down in San Francisco in a couple of weeks, the company is announcing a pair of new p...
