It almost seems like just a few weeks ago that we got the Intel Core i7-5775C Broadwell processor to review. Wait, it was just a few weeks ago!

Now we have another new processor that looks a bit more exciting than Broadwell at least on paper. The Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake processor boasts the fastest quad core frequencies and architectural design to date especially in terms of frequencies, power consumption, and finally introduces DDR4 memory support to the mass market. It also requires a Z170 motherboard using a new LGA 1151 socket and DDR4 memory to operate (with SOME exceptions).

The real questions are whether or not Skylake's specs provide an impressive leap over Devil's Canyon and is the new LGA 1151 socket really worth upgrading to over the last generation. Let's start answering!
