    What do you guys think about the new Intel Skylake?


    Two have been released, one a I5 and the other a I7. I read where they have an average of just a 15% advantage over the Haswells. But what I'm really disappointed with is that they run at a hot, 95w!!! My Haswell only uses 65w! I thought that the shrinking of the die size would greatly improve the computer's efficiency using the new Skylake, but it does not seem to do so. May as well buy a 84w Haswell and overclock it by 15%!

    OK, I'm not a gamer, so I'm not too concerned about about increases in GPU performance. But tell me, will the increases using this GPU apply to add-on graphic cards, or is it limited to the on board graphics?
