• i5 Skylake or i7 Haswell - Build upgrade

I'm failing to see where the performance was different between the 4790k with no HT and the 4690k with the exception of the fact that he's a shit benchmarker. A benchmark needs to be completely the same thing. When it's at least almost the same the FPS is the same. I showed you that skylake has better clock for clock performance than haswell. An i7 with no HT is an i5 with the exception of a very small amount of cache. Show me a non shit benchmark that shows me otherwise.
Uhhhh... I don't get how that video is a legit benchmark in the slightest. The person who recorded it should know that playing a game around the same section and looking at the FPS counter isn't a "benchmark" because of the variables involved. This is why we have benchmarking software like 3D Mark and, well, actual benchmarking software.
[QUOTE=Levelog;49318036]What motherboard are you planning on getting with the 4690k?[/QUOTE] I was initially gonna go for the msi gaming 3 but I have now settled for the msi z97 gd65. hopefully a good buy.
[QUOTE=Kemerd;49314475]I can agree with you there, but even an i7 4790k overclocked to 4.8GHz with hyperthreading disabled is going to perform better in single-core CPU extensive applications than an i5 6600k, no matter the overclock. However, I can agree with you on price. i7's are more expensive than i5's by a margin (which I why I waited till sales), and for the average gamer, an i5 is more than enough.[/QUOTE] What. Clock per clock the skylake cpus are faster. When ypu disable hyperthreading the i7 is essentially an i5, which the skylake has literally no problem beating. I don't know exactly where you got this information that somehow a slower i7 ( running at i5 levels by having hyperthreading disabled) is faster than a 6600k overclocked. The slylake will be faster because of better clock rate vs a hyperthread disabled 4790k, especially on single core cpu benchmarks.
