I have a GE60 (4700HQ) and a GE62 (6700HQ) and I don't have the excessive power use that you experienced. In fact my GE62 uses less power than my Haswell and idles as low as 15Watts. the Skylake also runs 7deg C cooler at idle. A Skylake should be cooler and more power efficient than a Haswell laptop.

For someone who has upgraded to the GE62 6QD (in which I am using right this second). I am very happy with its performance. I would recommend this notebook to anyone.

Im assuming if you used the 970m the score mightve averaged out to maybe 80%-81%

Hello folks how you are checking existence of PWM?!!! Which brightness level do you check?
The same IPS panel and PWM easily was detected:http://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-aspire-v15-nitro-black-edition-vn7-592g-review-not-a-big-overhaul-but-keeps-whats-good-from-the-previous-version/
So what is going there ?

Two steps forward, one step back. The updated MSI GE62 not only involves a new CPU and USB 3.1, but also a superb FHD screen. However, the review sample's power consumption and battery life are not at all typical Skylake.
