What is the literal point of this? is it worth caring about at all?
Yes, if you don't have a Skylake but want it.
It is literally updated stepping with fixed bugs.
Yes, yes, I know what you may say, Prime95 bug was fixed in microcode update, but it is nice to not have bugs out of the box.

Oh golly gosh I can't wait to replace my Broadwell system!
I think that point of this is to get 5 generations in front of AMD instead of only 4.
>>55220400
Also native thunderbolt

>>55220400
new gpus do that job better, so very shitty reasons
>>55219213
It's just another Devil's Canyon, because Cannonlake isn't ready. It'll also give Intel the excuse to make Cannonlake incompatible with Z170 boards, just like they made Broadwell incompatible with Z87 ones. You've already had your one CPU "upgrade" goyim, buy a new motherboard!
...
>>55221058
Good thing Linux and BSD don't care about that.
I guess there's still no reason why I should upgrade my 3570K
>>55221058
That doesn't mean it's Windows only, just that Windows 10 is the only Windows system that supports it (officially, anyway), fyi.
>>55221058
"Supported" in this sense being that support will be offered through official channels for Windows 10 and nothing else. It'll still run other operating systems, just don't come crying to us if it doesn't work properly is the message.
>>55221194
This. They are just trying to force people up to windows 10. 7 and 8/8.1 will likely work no problem. You might not get some of the features where the os can control the cpu a bit to save power.
>>55221108
Crappy for people who need to run Win7/8 for software compatibility reasons. For example, I have to run a special office/database management software for my work. Since the software only runs on Windows XP/7/8, that means Skylake is my upgrade "ceiling". I'm sure Windows 10 support will eventually come to the software, but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. This kind of stuff moves at a glacial pace.
>>55221164
but you gotta go afast aon
>>55219213
Can't wait to be using a 2600K in 2018 and still being within 10-20% of whatever that gen's equivalent is.

>>55219213
This is actually relevant to my interests, since I plan to upgrade next week when the 480 comes out.
I'm not sure whether to go home with jewtel, or get something less substantial for a lot less and upgrade when Canonlake or Zen comes out.
Considering I'm upgrading from a Q9650 and HD7850, I've got future proofing in mind. So what do famalams?
>>55221049
Spot on m8
>>55221058
official microsoft support for windows was trash anyway, literally who cares
the only thing that would matter is if microsoft slipped intel some money and got them to make the chips physically incompatible with windows 7 and below, which I really can't see happening
>>55221164
I upgraded to a 4790k just because i wanted an i7 and couldn't find a 3770k for a good price.
Literally no reason other than i7
>>55221252
All I ever do when I buy PCs is just pick a used one with a decent 3rd or 4th gen Core i3.
>>55219253
Skylake has fewer bugs than haswell. Not sure why you would be concerned about a fixed issue.
>>55219253
prime95 bug was "fixed" by disabling certain features. skylake is a crippled cpu family and whoever still buys it is a çuck
>>55221252
Yeah more like 30%+
>>55221601
What "certain features", specifically, are you talking about?
get a X99-motherboard
get an Xeon E5 2686 v3 M0 stepping engineering sample from ebay
550-650 dollar 18-core system
i like stealing from monopoly fascists
>>55221618

Every cpu has bugs. You actually had to go in and set up p95 with very specific parameters to trigger the erratia. Joe blow is not running p95 24/7 with obscure parameters. Not a good reason to hate on sl.
>>55219213
no its another 14 nm chip. intel only gets good bumps in performance when they can work in lower nm ranges
so basically if you never see a 10 nm chip from intel amd wins hands down because the only reason they were not in the lead was they were selling chips that were double the nm range intel sold and were 30% weaker but cheaper
intel doesnt even get a solid scaled boost over amd because amd actually has better architecture. zen+ might bury intel
>>55221607
Yeah no. The 6700K barely beats out the 2600K with the stock clock difference (3.4->3.8 vs. 4.0->4.2, including turbo boost). Considering they both seem to overclock to similar average numbers, around 4.5GHz, that gap closes even further when both are overclocked.
>>55221687
>t. Intel Internet Defense Force
Is it worth upgrading from an i5 3570K yet?
>>55221689
Wow. So much wishful thinking about a future product you know absolutely nothing about. Sure, I'd love to watch Intel burn to the ground, but I'm not telling everyone that the dominant CPU manufacturer with over 90+% of the market is incompetent and about to fall behind.
>>55221241
What about virtualization?
>>55221724
Haha haha you actually believe ghz is a valid performance metric anymore?
Barely beats it? Hahahahah wow so much denial in this thread
what's a kaby? as in does it actually mean something or did intel make up a word?
>>55221724
>The 6700K barely beats out the 2600K
You're delusional. It beats it comfortably in any and every task, even gaymen, stock versus stock or overclock versus overclock.

Sandy Vag faggots are the absolute worst. A combination of poorfags who can't afford to upgrade and retards who fell for the dank "never obsolete" meme and actually chose to buy a used one over a newer CPU.
>>55221278
Can you overclock with the 6500?
>>55221278
>2tb wd black for 175$
Nigger what are you doing? I bought those for $120 off of amazon when doing my raid set up. Microcenter also likes to put them on sale for $110-115 around Christmas time.
>>55221278
Leaf prices? That 6600k is below msrp now here in the states. No reason to get anything older than skylake, really.
>>55221758
Your projections aside, clockspeed (along with number of cores) isn't that bad of a performance metric when Intel's IPC has barely increased.
>>55221820
Thanks, those reviews actually proved my point.
According to that eurogamer review, the average framerate increase is only 13% when both chips are overclocked. I can wait a couple more gens for Intel to step their game up.
>>55221241
Can you run it in wine?
>>55219213
>full proper hw-decoding of 4K 10bit HEVC
it's going to be THE htpc-platform for the next decade.
not to forget native usb 3.1 support.
>>55220310
do not fear, animguu-tards will switch to 14bit HEVC to stay with software-decoding and make sure there'll never be hw-decoding.
>>55221049
It's not, yet it is.
Intel dropped Tick-Tock, Eeach microarch has 3 releases now, the first two in the current node and the last as the die shrink on a new node.
>>55221628
Until your data corrupts. Fucking j00
>>55221977
So would you recommend buying a 2600 or 6700?
>>55221618
the AVX-instruction-set of the CPU.
>>55219213
>have i7-870
>no reason to upgrade
No Shlomo, you're not getting my shekels, back to the oven you go!
>>55222076
Like that has ever worked on any chip, ever. Nice try.
>>55222092
do you often pay for broken features?
>>55222106
It's not a feature, moron. Only enterprise has 512 right now, you can't even buy it as a consumer.
>>55222022
After fansubbing died they're still stuck with h264.
>>55221267
Mah niggah
>>55222064
A 6700K, of course. I wouldn't buy a 2600K right now for many reasons (reliability of 2nd hand components and how hard it is to get 67/77 boards, for the most part). I'd only go for an older system if I was getting it at a massive discount.
I was just saying it doesn't make a massive amount of sense for 2600K owners to ugprade right now unless they really need specific features or desperately need those last few frames in certain games, or their computing requirements have changed significantly (i.e. jumping to a 6/8/12core cpu).
>>55222022
>do not fear, animguu-tards will switch to 14bit HEVC to stay with software-decoding and make sure there'll never be hw-decoding.
Good, we need to move standards faster.
Someone has to take the jump.
You goys know whose fault this is, right...
>>55221278
>Awful part selection
>Even worse prices
Please spend more time looking at computer parts before you buy anything
>>55222443
Could be leaf dollars.
>>55221689
AMD shill pls go, they can't afford to pay you your shekels today.
