MagyarFirst Core i7-6500U Skylake benchmarks leak online
Intel has yet to dive into details about its mobile Skylake platform for notebooks and have only touched upon a few upcoming devices. Fortunately, a growing number of performance leaks indicate that the availability of such devices may come sooner rather than later.
For the first time, benchmarks and technical data are available on the 15 W Core i7-6500U. As the successor to the Core i7-5500U, the i7-6500U will be clocked 100 MHz faster from 2.4 to 3.0 GHz on the Broadwell core to 2.5 GHz to 3.1 GHz on the Skylake core. Combined with the various architectural improvements, a performance increase of roughly 10 percent is reasonable.
Initial tests by Laptop Media, however, are not promising. According to the source, CineBench R11.5 scores for the i7-6500U are almost identical to the previous i7-5500U. A quick look at our own database numbers back up this claim as well. It is possible that the BIOS and Turbo Boost could still use some fine-tuning before launch to unlock the full performance of the Skylake core.

Aside from the plethora of 15 W Skylake options for Ultrabooks, we fully expect more information on the 35 W and 45 W class of processors to be revealed in the coming weeks. Some of these cores are already listed on CPU-World and other sites. There are also rumors of a new Core series below the Core i7 and above the Core i5 with quad cores and no Hyper Threading.
