Today marks the release of Intel's newest CPU architecture, code named Skylake. I already posted my full review of the Core i7-6700K processor so if you are looking for CPU performance and specification details on that part, you should start there. What we are looking at in this story is the answer for a very simple, but very important question:
Is it time for gamers using Sandy Bridge system to finally bite the bullet and upgrade?
I think you'll find that answer will depend on a few things including your gaming resolution and aptitude for multi-GPU configuration, but even I was surprised by the differences I saw in testing.
