Hmm, interesting. I'm wondering if Intel will make their Kaby Lake more resilient?
Intel sucks anyway. 5% year-on-year improvement in IPC in overall applications/games... Let's just all boycott Skylake and buy the more recent X58 motherboards with USB 3.0 ports and SATA 3.0 (while PCIe 2.0 16x still doesn't hold back a Titan X by more than 2% or so) and put these Hexa-core i7's on 32nm to good use (sure, they might consume like 180W under full load when overclocked to 4.4GHz, but for $90 for a Xeon X5670 which is a lot like a Core i7 970 means that the price savings would require SEVERAL (like 10+) years just for a $350 Skylake to break even, at 24/7 usage). Then we'd all teach Intel a lesson, muahahahaha!
