Benchmarks of the core i7 6700k appear (skylake

From CPU-Monkey they assure that they have obtained an engineering sample of the future Intel Core i7 6700k microprocessor (Skylake-S) and have published several benchmarks showing the performance of the future Intel processor against the current Core i7 4790k (Haswell Devil's Canyon) showing a Very little performance increase of the new chip over the current top of the range for LGA 1150.

The new Core i7 6700k contains four cores equipped with hyperthreading technology at a frequency of 4.0 GHz in base mode and 4.2 GHz in Boost mode. It is manufactured with Intel's 14nm Tri-Gate process and has a TDP of 95W, a higher figure than the Core i7 4790K (88W) because the new chip mounts an integrated graphics processor much more powerful than the current ones. Haswell, in fact it could be the iGPU GT4e with 74 EUs. Recall that the current Core i7 4790K mounts an iGPU with 20 EUs so the difference in this aspect could be really very bulky. We also highlight the inclusion in Skylake of a DDR4 RAM controller that seems to support up to DDR4-2133.

Let us now go to see the benchmarks made and the results obtained:

First of all we look at the Cinebench R11.5 and Cinebench R15 benchmarks in which we see that the performance difference in favor of the new Intel Core i7 6700k microprocessor is in most cases 9% and in the least cases of 4%.

Secondly, we observe the Geekbench 3 benchmark that shows very similar results to those previously observed, in this case, the largest performance difference is 8% and the smallest is 4%.

What do you think about these Skylake results? Did you expect more from the new Intel chip?
