According to the recently leaked early benchmark results of Intel's Core i7-6700K Skylake CPU, we can expect anywhere between 4 to 9 percent performance gain, at least according to various benchmarks that were leaked.

While these benchmark results are far from confirmed, CPU-Monkey site has published a page showing results of Intel's Core i7-4790K compared to the upcoming Skylake Core i7-6700K CPU. While the rest of the testbed is unknown and that these results could be coming from Intel's own internal documents or some internal testing from one Intel's partners, it still gives use an idea what to expect from Skylake.

While Skylake architecture will offer plenty of new features due to a completely new architecture, it appears that it is only slightly faster in single-core Cinebench tests, while in multi-core tests it offers significantly better results, anywhere between 8 and 9 percent.

In Passmark, The Core i7-6700K is also around 8 percent faster while in Geekbench 3, the difference is the same as in Cinebench R15, 4 percent in single- and 8 percent in multi-core tests.

Bear in mind that these are still early tests and might not show the actual performance gain of Skylake architecture, as we honestly hope that the performance gain is much higher than 4 to 9 percent.
