Pricey they may be<\/a>, Intel\u2019s i7-6700K and i5-6600K \u201cSkylake\u201d are impressive, to say the least.<\/p>\n

The i7-6700K, in particular, is a fantastic piece of silicon: It\u2019s faster than even some of Intel\u2019s much more expensive enthusiast-grade CPUs and it overclocks like a right beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, these are hardly the CPUs for the average user \u2013 they\u2019re probably a little much for most gamers as well, something their price speaks to.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Intel is about to launch a great deal more variants, and very soon.<\/p>\n

Skylake\u2019s i7 (which includes the locked variants of the i7-6700 and i5-6600), i5, i3 and Pentium CPUs should, barring stock issues, be available for purchase by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Before you place your order for one, we would like to remind you that Skylake uses the new LGA 1151 socket type.<\/p>\n

That means a new motherboard, and owing to the required Z170, H170 and B150 chipsets, DDR4 memory in all likelihood \u2013 it\u2019s either that or much less capable DDR3L<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All-in-all, a Skylake CPU means a lot of new hardware is going to be required, so we would recommend saving.<\/p>\n

Prices of the Skylake range revealed thus far seem to be around what we expected.<\/p>\n

CPUs like the i5-6400 should probably be quite a bit cheaper for it to become a realistic purchase. At the moment, it\u2019s 500 MHz slower than the next CPU up, the i5-6500, but only R80 cheaper \u2013 that\u2019s a hard sell.<\/p>\n

When you consider how efficient Skylake micro-architecture is, 5.8 MHz per Rand is an absolute steal.<\/p>\n
