Broadwell is all about the mobile and NUC / HTPC market. Intel is not trying to --- and probably never will --- compete with discrete GPUs for gaming performance, even at the mid-range or low-mid range.

The big thing Iris 6200 offers a viable low-end or low-mid range integrated GPU solution for systems that will not or cannot use a discrete GPU. It lets you do more in a thin or tiny box than you could with a GPU-less config before, and it now is head and shoulders above anything aimed at the same segment from AMD.

For the desktop gaming segment, the benefit of the Iris 6200 will not be in replacing a discrete GPU, but --- if it can actually deliver on this --- giving a non-trivial boost to overall graphics performance due to the promised seamless SLI with discrete and integrated GPUs in DX12. That will only matter IF DX12 works as promised, and IF games actually work with it and benefit from it.

If you can swap out your 4690K for a 5675C and get an actual, practical, real world FPS boost in DX12 without upgrading your discrete GPU, then it may start to look a lot more interesting as an upgrade or alternative to the existing "enthusiast" chips.

Right now these chips appear to be performing on par with the 4690K / 4790K at lower power and lower based clock speeds. It remains to be seen how they will stack up with typically obtainable overclocks. Same performance out of the box for a higher price is meh, but we haven't seen clock-for-clock comparisons yet.

If they offer even a modest edge in actual performance at modest overclocks, running at the same speed with lower temps compared to Haswell, and if they can deliver a real-world FPS boost from slaving the Iris 6200 to a low or mid range discrete GPU under DX12, for not too much more money than the older chips, and with lower temps and power use to boot, then maybe people will think twice about sticking with Haswell as the default.
