Re: Bandwidth starved
This isn't comparing like with like. These are supposedly 'high end' chips, but it's the initial high end, not workstation class.
People are comparing Haswell-E against Skylake. A direct comparison is Skylake vs Haswell.
In that case they are very similar - the processor lanes are the same. The chipset lanes are much better in Skylake, because Haswell used DMI 2!
If compared against X99 (Haswell-E), the processor lanes are better, because it's high end enthusiast/workstation. The chipset lanes are again linked by DMI 2.
