You can see the large (~30%) disparity in the screenshot of the Windows Task Manager attached to this post ( spec figures here – 2.2ghz base, 3.2ghz boost). When the OS was responsible for managing core parking, it just couldn’t do it well enough, hence utilities like ParkControl.Īnother change from prior generations is just how large the gap is between the Base CPU Frequency and the TurboBoost CPU Frequency. As I’ve noted before, much of the real-time power management is moved to the hardware, making it much more efficient. However, the systems they were tested on were quite different with the 6950X processor having access to 8x 8GB of DDR4-2133MHz memory, and the 5960X and 6700K chips it was compared against only being able to address 4x 4GB of DDR4-2133MHz RAM.The extraordinary thing about the Intel Skylake (6xxx) generation of CPUs are the changes in power management. Intel touts benchmark improvements such as 25 percent improvements on video editing, and 35 percent improved 3D rendering performance over the prior generation of Extreme chips. The chips need a motherboard with a LGA2011-v3 socket and X99 chipset, and a BIOS update is needed for existing motherboards to be able to use Turbo Boost Max 3.0. The new Broadwell-E chips are built using 14nm Tri-Gate 3D transistors, arrive fully unlocked without a cooler, and are available today. "And also, the Skylake product has a higher Turbo frequency than the Broadwell product that we are talking about."

"When you compare a Skylake to a Broadwell, we are losing some performance in terms of instructions per clock, because now you are comparing a sixth-generation Skylake product to a fifth-generation Broadwell," he said.
