Now, just two months later, Broadwell is being swept fully under the rug and superseded by Skylake, a brand new 14nm chip that promises to actually be faster than Haswell.īefore we get into the testing, let's briefly run through the high-level changes in Skylake and its shiny new companion chipset, Sunrise Point.Ī new socket type has been introduced called LGA1151, making Skylake processors physically incompatible with Haswell motherboards. Although the move to 14nm has allowed for improved battery life in some mobile platforms, the desktop chips were disappointing. Unfortunately, when it came to performance, the top-end Broadwell chip was handily beaten out by the previous-gen Core i7-4790K, and it had lower default and turbo clock speeds as well.

These desktop parts-the Core i7-5775C and friends-only had two notable features: a 65W TDP, and Intel Iris Pro 6200 integrated graphics.
The Broadwell desktop chips never saw the light of day in 2014, and the firm only just managed to officially stick to its plans by releasing some low-power 14nm Broadwell Core M processors at the tail end of the year. Meanwhile, on the desktop, Intel instead released a refresh of its existing 22nm Haswell processor line-the Devil's Canyon Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K-which offered nothing more than higher clock speeds over the earlier Haswell models.ĭesktop Broadwell chips were eventually released in June 2015, but it was an incredibly low-key affair. For the last decade, Intel has released new processors on a yearly basis, in accordance with its Tick-Tock cadence: one year (the tick) sees a process shrink to smaller transistors and better efficiency, the next year (tock) ushers in a brand new microarchitecture. Intel successfully stuck to the Tick-Tock model until Broadwell, where the shrink from 22nm to 14nm was heavily delayed.

Skylake is technically two full jumps ahead of Haswell, which was released in 2013. The "full" Skylake unveil, including a detailed breakdown of architectural changes and the full SKU line-up (including the all-important laptop parts), will occur at IDF on August 18. Only two desktop chips are being released today: the high-end Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K.
Today, Intel has taken the wraps off Skylake, the sixth-generation 14nm Core architecture that follows on from Broadwell. Orestis Bastounis reader comments 233 with
