Excellent Multi-threading Performance, Very Reasonable Price, Strong Overclocking Potential
Minimal Upgrade from Haswell
The Core i7 6700K is not really revolutionary. It did not need to be either. Its multi-threading prowess would make easy prey of lessor processors. It follows up Broadwell and Haswell-E rather nicely though. Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of DDR4 and...
Enthusiasts have been waiting for Intel 6th Generation Core Skylake processors for years and it's hard to believe that it is finally here. There are a number of people out there with Sandy Bridge or older platforms that are getting the upgrade itch and ha...

Abstract: It's the Intel review you've been waiting for. Today is the launch of the first two CPUs from Intel's Skylake architecture, the 6 th Generation Core i7-6700K and the Core i5-6600K. With the new processors we get a new architecture, a new socket, the move...

There are many things to be impressed about with any new Intel release. Whether it's the energy efficiency of the Devil's Canyon CPUs, the graphical prowess of the Broadwell, or the sheer grunt of the Haswell-E platform, every one has something to get the...
Abstract: If you're building a brand new PC next week, next month or for the foreseeable future, Skylake is the platform you should be building on—but maybe not for the reasons you think. Intel is launching the i7-6700K ($350) and the i5-6600K ($243) today to much...
Abstract: Today we're pulling the wraps off of the true Devil's Canyon successors, Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K. Our exploration is going to feel a little incomplete t...
Prior to reviewing this Core i7 6700K I had tested the Core i5 6600K and, with that processor (despite it being a great CPU), I had a bit of a "more of the same" feeling yet it was very energy efficient. For the Core i7 6700K that is reversed, the energy...

Intel's Skylake Core I7 6700K has been a wild ride and at times we would look up and dawn was making its first little crack before we realized it. We benchmarked the i7 6700K so hard the bench hit back and we may well need plastic surgery on our gluteus M...
Fastest CPU we've tested, outside of much pricier Extreme Edition chips, Simplified overclocking options, Chipset delivers more PCI Express wiggle room for super-fast storage
In single-threaded tasks, not substantively faster in our testing than previous-generation chips, Requires a new motherboard, Slightly higher TDP than its year-old Haswell “Devil's Canyon” counterpart
Intel's first 6th-Generation (“Skylake”) CPU delivers a decent performance boost over last year's Devil's Canyon chip, while supporting both DDR3 and DDR4 memory. All good, but the extra PCIe lanes that come with the supporting Z170 chipset may be the bi...

performance, power consumption, overclocking, DDR4 support
Intel made its tick-tock in 4 month and launched Broadwell followed by Skylake. The former was just the transition to 14nm while the latter brought a new architecture, support for DDR4 and better overclocking capabilities.Broadwell is similar to Haswell b...
