Annoying that the i7-6800K is gimped by having only 28 PCI-E lanes. I guess Intel needed a reason for people to buy the i7-6850K.
Interesting, it's not that much better than the available 2015 line up, for example my iMac has a 6700K in it which sits in the top 3 or 4, mind you this is typical of a tick, in a tick-tock manufacturing process.
Why did they come out with another Broadwell based processor when Skylake / Ice Lake seems to be logical next tstep?
I want to upgrade my desktop/gaming box from a 5yo but maxed out Gulftown i7-970, but this really isn't terribly compelling. I guess I wait another generation (throw a new GPU in there, but nothing else)?
Dual CPU Xeon seems better (mmm, ECC), although faster RAM is nice, and I'm not sure what a "good" workstation board is. Is there a market for ~silent/water cooled 2P Xeon workstations still? No need to overclock, but something quiet is nice -- big diameter fans at minimum.
