Performance under Intel Skylake?

[Fabian Wloch]

Does anyone use a CPU from the current Skylake-Generation, or maybe even a
i7 6700k?

I bought the hardware a couple weeks ago, and just tested it with Qubes
3.2, and it quit works.
Just the performance is a mess.

There are constantly small laggs, which I don't have with an older Core i5
in my notebook. Also the Qubes VM Manager often completely freezes or crashes.

I just tried to install Kernel 4.7.5 from fedora 24 repos following the
instructions from marek in one of the mailinglist threads, which are linked
in the qubes documentation under "Kernel upgrade in dom0".
So installing the kernel works quit good, but it makes things even worse.
Even more laggs and short freezes.

So if someone also has a skylake CPU, do you have the same problems?
Or does anyone has ideas what I could also try, beside updating the kernel?

Used Qubes 3.2, and now 3.1 (Fedora 23) on a Eurocom Sky DLX7 with unlocked, but not OC'd, Intel Core i7-6700K and 64G RAM.
I've had no hardware issues to date, other than not getting the Nvidia drivers to install correctly. I want to run multiple monitors off the GeForce GTX 970M and keep running into dead-ends.

I just installed Qubes 3.1 on the same hardware, and the performance was
"how it should be". Then I made the in-place-upgrade to Qubes 3.2, which
resulted in the same problems as I mentioned in the first mail.
So I guess its not the Kernel, but some kind of software that causes the
problem.

Anyone knows what I could try?
It is quite ok to work with, but also quit annoying over time when
everything is so laggy, so its not something reall problematic to me.
