Intel Skylake Core i7-6700K to Run at 4GHz

As we get closer to the middle of the year many details about Intel’s upcoming Skylake microarchitecture are becoming clear. Today we have details on the upcoming Core i5-6600K and Core i7-6700K processors.

Intel Skylake

Let’s start with the Core i5-6600K which will have four cores, but no HyperThreading support. It will also have 6MB cache, a 3.5 GHz clock speed, boost up to 3.9 GHz, 1600 / 2133 MHz DDR3 / DDR4 support, Intel HD Graphics 5000, and will have a TDP of 95 W.

Moving on to the Core i7-6700K which will also have four cores, but will have HyperThreading support. It has 8MB of cache, a 4.0 GHz clock speed, boost up to 4.2 GHz, 1600 / 2133 MHz DDR3 / DDR4 support, Intel HD Graphics 5000, and the same TDP of 95W.

Now keep in mind these are rumored specifications, nothing here has been confirmed. Since these chips have a TDP of 95W expect quite a lot of headroom for overclocking.
