Flagship Skylake CPU and Zed 170 chipset is here that's right I said Flagship which probably seems a little strange considering Intel's previous topend quad core code named Broadwell haven't even been on the market for 3 months on the desktop side and although Intel has gained a pretty big Market advantage over AMD partially due to how regularly they release CPUs and chipsets the past few Processor architectures have merely felt like incremental upgrades to a lot of people with many gamers and enthusiasts like me still happily rocking their Sandy Bridge chips from 2011 2600k for the freaking win so what does Skylake bring to the table and is it the next big thing like the video if you want to see us check out a 3D printer called the Ultram Maker 2 extended the Logitech g303 features lightweight design an advanced Optical sensor with Delta zero technology for precise tracking and RGB lighting to match your setup click now to learn more let's start out with a look at the CPU itself this is a core i7 6700 K and just like all of its other K series i7s it features four cores four hyperthreads for a total of eight threads and an unlock multiplier for overclocking out of the box you'll get a 4.0 GHz clock with the turbo boost frequency of 4.2 GHz now if this doesn't sound like a big Improvement right away that's cuz Intel's last gen 4790k ran at the same base clock speed but while the CPU may not have incredibly eye popping specs at first glance the Skylight platform does come with quite a few improvements we haven't yet seen on mainstream chipsets for starters ddr4 support is finally available for cheaper motherboards with Sky supporting up to 2133 MHz ddr4 RAM gone to the days where you had to pay $1,000 for a six core CPU and straight baller board to just to try out some memory it really doesn't make much of a difference anyways check this video out for more on the differences of ddr4 and DDR3 sky like also comes with revision 3.0 of Intel's Direct Media interface or DMI which is basically the thing that connects your CPU to the chipset and many of your computer's other components and peripherals it's twice as fast as DMI 2.0 on Haswell and other earlier processors and given how dmi's four lanes carry 20 lanes of PCI Express bandwidth to and from the CPU the extra speed should help if you happen to be running a whole bunch of high-end stuff like big external storage highspeed PCI ssds or just downloading and streaming tons of stuff through a big internet pipe skyl also includes some serious improvements on the graphics side as well now I know that many of you like me are going to be running Skylake with a discreet graph card but remember Sky series is going to include lower-end chips like core i3s and Pentium so if you are using the integrated GPU maybe inside an htpc or something you'll be able to enjoy the full support of HC codc the successor to h.264 which is newly supported in Windows 10 Skylake also includes native support for Thunderbolt 3.0 which has 5 gab per second transfer speed which means it is also fast enough to Output 4K 60 HZ video over HDMI or 5K 60 HZ video over DisplayPort very cool so how well does this thing overclock well first Intel's had a few issues with several overclocked CPUs both ivybridge and Haswell had some well publicized issues with excessive heat so much so in the case of Haswell that Intel's refresh of Haswell Devil's Canyon had improved thermal interface material as a major selling point so Intel's tried to reduce heat output on Skylake by doing two different things things one was improve power efficiency and two was move the voltage regulator off the CPU and back onto the motherboard to reduce the amount of crap that's actually heating up the CPU package so even though the smaller 14 nanometer process could otherwise result in higher overall temperatures these changes should result in a relatively easy overclock on a wider range of motherboards including cheaper ones that don't have the fancy 8 or 12 phase power vrms and early tests show that it actually won't be nearly as much of a variance between individual chips as well which is nice you won't have to hunt for
