I don't especially understand the i5's TDP of 95W when the clocks are so pitiful compared to the i7's, which still boasts the same 95W. Seems like bull****.
Because they are purposelessly simplifying TDP requirements for i5. No harm done if Intel overestimates TDP - you just end up with bigger than needed cooler. Take i5-4440, TDP=84W and i7-4790k, TDP=88W If 4790k runs 4cores, 8 threads, 4.2GHz and needs only 88W cooler as recomended by Intel, then i5-4440 running 4 cores, 3.3GHz can surely get away with less than recommended 84W cooler. But it doesn't hurt having better cooling.
Because TDP has nothing to do with power consumption. TDP is a measure of the amount of heat, represented in watts, that has to be dissipated to maintain a safe operating temperature.
Which in turn equates to maximum sustainable power consumption. So you see TDP has everything to do with power consumption.

That's why LGA2011 exists! We need to see what dx12 brings first, as it is now gamers have little to gain by upgrading, here's a rough example.
Very interesting thanks for the link it made some good reading , I've always gone for a i7 , but after reading all this article i might try saving myself a few quid on my next upgrade later this year and banging the money into the GPUs instead. I will wait to see what the outcome of the new directx has on CPUs ,as it might just make better use of the hyper threading, only time will tell.

Well, purely for gaming an i7 is not exactly worth it. You're indeed better off putting that difference into the GPU. But like you said, that might change with dx12.

So, I was thinking putting a new system together with a 5820k. I'm still on the fence whether or not I should wait for Skylake-E or just pull the trigger. What do you guys think?

Well considering that skylake might just bring some more serious improvements, I'd wait. That's what I'm doing, and I have a sandy aswell. It's really hard for me to justify upgrading, even to 6-cores.

Thats worst ipc than Broadwell, lol. Isnt the the i7 5775c 3.3Ghz = Haswell 4Ghz?
Yeah it looks around the same as Broadwell @ 3.7Ghz, ~300-600mhz (depends on scenario).. Could be DDR4 limitation too.

It's a damn shame really, Intel push out two CPU's type's codename Broadwell & Skylate in 2015 & show nothing change at all. Sandy Bridge was something else & Haswell as well for laptop's but after that Intel are refresh there CPU's & calling it by a new code name by the looks at things.
"But after that" What's after that? Just Broadwell?.. which wasn't ever designed to be a desktop CPU in the first place. It's clearly a screwed up launch on a screwed up node and yet in most games it keeps pace with a 4790K (http://www.anandtech.com/show/9320/intel-broadwell-review-i7-5775c-i5-5675c/9) with 25% less power -- I wouldn't say that's "nothing change at all". Skylake isn't even out yet and I take all these leaked benchmarks with a giant grain of salt, especially after Fury X bull****, which supposedly was beating a Titan X, 8 months ago.
