Hey OG welcome aboard. To answer your question yes a skylake i7 has the potential to outperform a haswell but it just means we need to be a little better. Don't count out your 5930 though that will still do well for XTU.
If the two CPUs are the same the newer one will win out (I'm not sure that even makes sense). My 5930 does do well, or did well in XTU, but the benchmark is such a finicky creature. I do believe as a team we should be more than capable of finishing on top. We'll just have to focus our efforts on everyone's strengths like we've done in the past.
