Skylake offers improved efficiency and overclocking over Haswell while the new Z170 chipset tops the Z97 with more USB 3.0/PCIe 3.0 lanes, PCIe 3.0 storage support and Intel RST.
The Core i76700K is generally no faster than the i74790K, which will make it difficult to coax purchases out Haswell and Ivy Bridge owners. Availability is rumored to be limited.
