Some of their results are indeed a bit weird. Perhaps they picked some specific situations which might show the difference between CPUs more clearly, but otherwise might not be indicative of your typical game performance.

Mantle?. Also, what Ghz ya 2500K have and wich GPU/s do you have?
I upgraded from 2500K at 4.3 to 4790K, which is running at 4.5 right now.
Overclocking doesn't do that much when you hit certain nastier CPU bottlenecks (which recent games seem to have plenty of). When testing those specific bottlenecks the 4790K at stock would just push right through them, and in those cases I could easily claim some 50FPS+ gains from the CPU upgrade.
Also, that was on a R9 290.
Hmmm again, better wait for more tests, but that lightens up some hope. If 2500K -> 4790K at Stocks Might be around 30-50FPS gain, wich's a lot?, i wouldn't imagine how 2500k -> 6700K would be like...
Ummmm not into ATI but how would a R9 290 compare with a Nvidia card?..

Check reviews for numbers. The 290 and 970 are relatively close in performance.
It is considered that Nvidia GPUs see larger gains from better CPUs, due to driver overhead issues on AMD side.
Jesus what is here so hard to understand, Skylake is basically identical in performance compared to Haswell, and Haswell has its IPC maximum of 20-30% faster than SB (in paper). If you have 2500K then direct comparison for that would be 6600K, and on the same clocks you are looking at maximum of 10-30% performance increase (in real world pretty much nonexistant), then if you hop on the 6700K wagon you are getting HT which results in 20-30% performance gain if its properly used, so in other words 6700K is around 50% (only if its properly used) faster in paper than your 2500K at the same clocks, thanks to HT.

DV2 same story every year
see you in 2016 in Kaby Lake thread and then again in 2017 in Cannonlake thread spouting same exact crap
Get Haswell-E and be done with it, if you need to wait and "see more tests" then you have your answer. If you really wanted to upgrade, you'd have done so already, there basically is no other upgrade path from SB other than an extreme platform. An upgrade to haswell or skylake would be pretty much only visual considering real world gaming performance would barely be different from SB.

Gonna be using the i5 in a second PC. Plus it's a really shit overclocker, and I mean REALLY bad. I will be pissed if the i7 is as bad as my i5 is at overclocking.

Where I live they are asking $550 for 6700k, I struggle to justify paying that for cpu especially when the margin between 300-550 is going to be at best 5% in some applications.
I don't think I've paid past $300 on a CPU in the last decade, all of which have o/c past 4.2ghz.. I don't think I can convince myself to upgrade

Haswell i7 4790K vs Ivy Bridge i7 3770K:
Quote:
Compared to Ivy Bridge:
Approximately 8% better vector processing performance.
Up to 6% faster single-threaded performance.
6% faster multi-threaded performance.
Desktop variants of Haswell draw between 8% and 23% more power under load than Ivy Bridge.
A 6% increase in sequential CPU performance (eight execution ports per core versus six).
Up to 20% performance increase over the integrated HD4000 GPU (Haswell HD4600 vs Ivy Bridge's built-in Intel HD4000). (totally uninteresting except when using Handbrake or other encoders using Intel QSV)
Total performance improvement on average is about 3%.
Around 15 °C hotter than Ivy Bridge, while clock frequencies of over 4.6 GHz are achievable.
Intel Core i7-6700K ‘Skylake’ test results: 4–8% faster than Core i7-4790K.
Buying a new board, CPU (with the shitty TIM-bond from the Haswell-"disaster") and for the speed freaks new DDR4 RAM is to me a waste of time for an averade ~10-15% of performance increase while it's got spotty overclocking.
The Ivy i5 3570K/i7 3770K can easily reach 4.8-4.9 with good cooling (unless you're unlucky with a bum chip). The Haswell/Haswell-E is usually kept from beyond 4.4-4.5 by the increased temp and power demands (if you've got a good cooler and did something about the TIM-crap you'll go past 4.5).
The Skylake is, as most of us have already stated, a waste of money unless you're going for features since there's not much in the way of performance to find. USB3.1, DDR4 etc. may interest a few (not a lot USB3.1/DDR4 out there, esp. not for worthwhile prices). More PCIe-lanes (if I remember correctly) may be interesting for Tri-SLI/Tri-CF but if you have that kind of money you won't care about money anyway.
If you sit on a high-end Ivy/Haswell that overclocks well, stick with.
If you sit with a Lynnfield (first generation) (i5 750/760, i7 8xx/8xxK) it may be time to upgrade your system. You should be able to find some great deals (second hand) out there for really good board+cpu overclocking combos.
If you have a Sandy Bridge (Core i5 2500K/2550K, Core i7 2600K-3970X) it depends on how well it clocks and the board you have. If you're clocking the crap out of it and it works well then you won't see much real world improvement.
i don't know about 6700K, but i had 2500K at 4.5ghz and recent games like ACU, Watch Dogs and other titles that love multicore hyperthreaded CPUs ran like shit on my 2500K. i then upgraded to 5820K (gpu remained the same) and these games became silky smooth.

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I haven't followed all the tech info lately, but
from what I have seen , the gain from me switching from 3770 (non K tho) to 6700k seems marginal at best.
I'm guessing this isn't enthusiast grade skylake. Any info/rumor when they are planning on releasing that grade segment?
This chip was already officially launched, correct? If so, where the hell can one buy it? None of the normal places I go to have it in stock, or even listed. The 6600 is there, the 6700k is a ghost.
What gives? How long before this starts to saturate the market? I've been holding off on an upgrade for a long time - need to finally retire this i7-930.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Based on those benchmarks moving from 3770(non-k, which obviously has lower performance than OC K version) to 6700k (and OC) does bring a significant performance improvement.
Now they should use a GTX 970 for "People who doesn't wants to waste 1000$? on a GPU" and we'll have a much better Casual comparison
