hey everyone i'm steve from gamers nexus net and we're doing a quick news update this time on the intel skylake cpus the remainder of intel skylake lineup has been announced as of the last couple of days and just a refresher the ones that are already out would include the i760 700k which we reviewed and the i5 6600 k both of these are as indicated by the name case Q CPUs so they are meant for overclocking they are the higher-end cpus in the sky like lineup before moving on to the sky like Extreme Edition which is not yet officially announced in any capacity so those are the high end CPUs which are already out and we've reviewed today the items of note would be the i3 6300 series the i3 6100 series the I 566 and 6500 CPUs of non k and the i7 6709 k CPU there are a lot more cpus than these that were announced including the core em series the tcu CPUs which are a lower TDP meaning lower thermal and power requirement and those are interesting but they're not really desktop use and it's not something we're going to focus on here today starting with the i3 cpu is the i3 6300 drops to 47 wats TDP from its predecessor the i3 4300 that would be as well which was at 54 wats TDP so that is a seven wat reduction in total power requirement and it increases the clock rate to 3.8 gigahertz from the three point five gigahertz on the Haswell equivalent so that is a zero point three gigahertz increase or 300 megahertz the price should be about identical we currently only have wholesale pricing so this is not direct-to-consumer individual box retail pricing keep that in mind but for a box of 1000 of these CPUs you're paying about one hundred forty seven dollars per I 360 300 so consumer price and will be a little bit more than that because there's a markup they have to make some money but that's the general range where you should expect them to fall for the i3 6100 CPU the TDP is the same reduction 47 wats from 54 wats oh that is seven wats again and the clock rate increases also 300 megahertz so the same as the 6300 is 0.3 gigahertz increase in clock rates to 3.7 from 3 point 4 gigahertz on the previous Haswell equivalent to the 4130 now has well had a couple of interesting tweaks that do not normally happen with Intel CD launches and one of these was the launch of the 4160 which followed the 4130 quite a while after launch actually in the 41-60 increased the clock rate to 3.6 gigahertz from the original 3.4 gigahertz on the 4130 so in that instance you're only getting a 100 megahertz increase on the i3 6100 from the I 348 140-160 in this case the price is about the same as the Haswell I 3-series CPUs at 117 dollars for a box of 1000 so again add a bit for the consumer pricing but that's about where it falls moving on to the i5 CPU so there's already VI 560 600k which is the case Q CPU for the i-5 line up in sky lake and the K just means as many of you already know that is overclocking ready so they've got very granular support for base clock increments in the sky lake architecture and then there's also unlocked multiplier increases so you can increase the clock of the case Q skylake CP is quite a bit by using the base clock and the core clock multiplier jumps and bios for the 6600 9k cpu TDP drops to 65 watts from 84 wats on the preceding haswell cpu equivalent which would be the i5 4670k me and after that came the i5 4690 which as many of you likely recall the 4690 the 4790 both of these came with Devil's Canyon and that was a refresh on the existing Haswell architecture so it wasn't a new architecture but it wasn't overclocked pre overclocked refresh of has well in both cases the TDP drop is about this from 84 to 65 watts and the clock rate increase on the i5 6600 from the i5 4670 three point three gigahertz bass 3.9 gigahertz turbo on the new one from 3.4 base and 3.8 turbo so there's a small jump it's only 100 megahertz or so and that's nothing to get super excited about but of course there's a lot more to these CPUs than just a clock rate there's cash changes there are memory changes so the biggest one is obviously ddr4 from ddr3 that is quite a big change and that will impact production very heavily if you are a production user so don't just take the clock numbers and base a purchase on those because there's a whole lot more that goes into it but for the purpose of news the jumping clock rates pretty small and for gamers that is one of the main things you're looking at is core count and clock rate then cash is pretty important as well but ddr4 support it's it's good not something that's necessary for the pricing you can expect around the same price of the 4674 the new I 560 609 k CPU with a box of a thousand at 202 dollars for the wholesale pricing and retail prices are yet undetermined the i5 6600 drops 0.2 gigahertz below the i5 6600 k the case Q so it's a 200 megahertz decrease in clock rate and you lose some of that overclocking support but it's expected to be about twenty dollars cheaper so if you are absolutely uninterested in the case Q overclocking which is perfectly valid then you can save twenty bucks by going for the 6600 9k which again very valid and that's about the price that we saw the previous non k CPUs offered at so it's really no big change there for Intel as far as the included coolers that is one item to note with Haswell you did get an included cooler with skylake thus far in the case Q there is no included CPU cooler so you do have to factor in that cost though really at that point you should be buying an aftermarket cooler anyway for the i7 6709 k cpu that TDP drops to 65 watts from 84 just like the previous model and that is from the 4770 and the 4790 both I seven core cpus and both has well the 4790 being devil's canyon the clock rate is about the same at 3.4 gigahertz on the 4770 and the 6700 and 3.9 gigahertz turbo with both of those the price is 312 dollars for a box of a thousand so it's expected to be about the same price as the previous of non case Q I seven CPUs as for the difference between these 6700 and the 6700 k that is actually pretty measurable it is a 0.6 gigahertz decrease for the non k version of the 6700 cpu so that is a 600 megahertz change pretty big and that's the base frequency but the 6700 is expected to be priced around forty dollars cheaper than the 6700 k so that's quite a big difference in price when you're doing really any kind of mid-range build or thereabout and that's something that should be considered if you are not planning to do any overclocking whatsoever because you're not overclocking they do been out a bit better for the case Q CPUs but it's a big price savings so that is all for the Intel news with the new CPUs that were just announced Core M CPS were also announced as were the TCP is but we're not going to cover those because they're not really core desktop user products they're more for power saving users business users and folks like that the laptop cps were also announced but something we will go into separately hit the link in the description below for the article on all this with the charts if you want to just see straight charts the data and if you like this type of reporting as always check out our patreon page in the post roll video and that helps us out a lot we're gain subscribers there pretty quickly it's very exciting to see so that is all for this time i will see you all next time
