Skylake processors may be overclocking monsters

With a very impressive 5.2GHz acceleration result, the new desktop processors Intel May surprise us with a performance potential that has not been seen since the days of the Sandy Bridge

Reason for cautious optimism: After last week we were quite upset to discover first real criticism, so to speak, of the new Core i7-6700K processor of the new Skylake generation from Intel, According to the performance remained almost unchanged compared to the previous Haswell generation - we now receive new and surprising information, according to which the new generation of Intel May provide potential The fast Great.

The first, and very impressive, source shows a snapshot from the CPU-Z program where a processor is recorded Core i7-6700K Quad-Core Operating at a frequency of not less than 5.2 GHz (compared to 4 GHz to 4.2 GHz by default), based on voltage Core Relatively modest of 1.35 volts (compared to 1.205 volts by default) and air cooling of GELID.

The processor in question was not stable enough to perform performance tests under this frequency, but the same source did provide another cropped photo showing a run of the SuperPi test, allegedly by the same processor, at a frequency of 5 GHz.

There is even documentation Video (With 5 seconds of content and more 25 seconds of advertisement for a store in Hong Kong responsible for information, with forgiveness) that should provide conclusive evidence and more difficult to fake or distort.

In addition to speeding up the nice air cooling, an overclocker who answers to the nickname PLG presented an image from CPU-Z with a processor Core i7-6700K running at a frequency of 6.53 GHz - this time based on Cooling Liquid nitrogen, naturally, and with stress Core Extreme 2.032 Volts.

Verification of both of the reported speed results

In both cases, the results are impressive, and even surprising, considering reports that new generation processors will revert to using standard thermal glue to connect the chip itself to its metal cladding (as in Ivy Bridge andHaswell, But not Devil's Canyon, which uses a more expensive ointment that has improved heat conductivity to the cooling), and reports that,Skylake The power generation components will return to the motherboards after trying to integrate them into the processors as a solution to provide more stable and efficient energy.

From our rich past experience with similar reviews and pre-launch reports, we are required to accept all the information presented here with a big spoon of skepticism, but on the other hand - we will now admit that we are willing to try and believe every piece of information that will give us a worthy reason to wait.Skylake The desk. In two weeks we will be able to find out what is ahead of us by a year, the main thing being a walk in the place, or whether there is a significant line here for performance enthusiasts.
