As Hassan explained in his Skylake i7 review, Skylake can handle 64 queued instructions per thread, up handily from Haswell's 56 per thread and substantially from Sandy Bridge's measly 28 per thread. This combined with a deeper out-of-order buffer and the ability to handle more queues per each thread means that we can see some substantial gains in real world applications. Inside, the execution units have grown in number and have far less latency.

It’s difficult as a PC hardware enthusiast to not get excited, regardless of the size of the gains.īut what exactly is Skylake, then? When compared to Haswell, we see a vastly improved microarchitecture with a better front end design, improved branch prediction capability, deeper buffers and a faster pre-fetch. Thus far we’ve enjoyed a new CPU release just about every year to show off those benefits. Real benefits, though sometimes not necessarily groundbreaking, have been seen in each release from 2006 until present. Since the introduction of the Core 2 Duo with Conroe, this strategy has proven to be very lucrative financially and in terms of actual increases in performance and efficiency. A tick is a process improvement and a tock is an architecture improvement, sometimes a completely new CPU altogether. This allows them to theoretically perfect a new process node before moving on to a more improved and more fresh underlying architecture. Intel, as you know, utilizes a tick-tock strategy to release and improve upon their CPU’s. Can you see the reflection of the Sky on the Lake? Efficiency too, is also assumed to be enhanced. As with all tock iterations, we expect to see at least an appreciable increase in performance over Haswell, if not even over Broadwell. With Skylake we have an evolution of their Core architecture, a completely new socket and the move to a new memory technology, DDR4.

It was a much anticipated CPU architecture change, being that it’s a part of a full fat tock cycle. Skylake released on August 5th to quite the fanfare.
