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...

In what has been a challenging year for Intel their Skylake architecture stands out as a shining example of what can be achieved in the face of adversity. Indeed, Intel’s ode to overclockers and gamers with an early launch of some key processors like the...
After looking at the performance results, it's hard not to be impressed. Through each benchmark, the results are pretty clear: Intel's 6th Generation Core i7 6700K is impressive. In some tests the margins between Haswell and Skylake were not as impressive...

14nm goodness, It's a bit faster, Intel has opened up the overclocking
It's not a lot faster, Still just four cores, Intel's product strategy has gone walkies
Its performance gains may be modest, but the Core i7-6700K is definitely exciting on the overclocking front...

This entire review was done with a retail sample of the 6700K, which gives me hope that CPUs in the channel will overclock and perform the same as mine. I almost hesitate to say it, but Skylake has me as excited as Sandy Bridge had me almost half a deca...
Step-less base clock, Amazing IMC with plenty of ratios, Runs cool, Impressive IGP performance
5820K offers better performance at a similar price, Scaling under liquid nitrogen is limited, Weak rand is making the CPUs more expensive than they should be
Intel has made great strides over the Haswell family with the 6700K. Not only do the CPUs run cooler, they provide better performance and significantly more tuning options. The 6700K is precisely the kind of successor to the 4770K we were expecting...

Even though the hype train got a little out of control, Intel's Skylake CPU is still a solid new CPU offering. It offers maybe 5 to 10 percent more performance than a Haswell CPU that runs at higher clock speeds, and it's noticeably faster in graphics wor...
Performance-wise, the benchmark numbers are just slightly above that of the likes of Haswell and Devil's Canyon, but as it does come with a number of bells and whistles that we mentioned above, the processor is certainly one to consider if you're buildin...
The processor market changed a lot over the past 6 months, with GST in place and weakened MYR, a Core i7 that once cost around RM 1,000 is now priced at around RM 1,500 which is currently the price of a Core i7-6700K.While I think the Core i7-6700K is an...
