(Fixed the number for you as Skylake's graphics are all in the 500 range.)
Well, the real interesting part for this would be ones with the 580 graphics.
According to the Wikipedia:
Iris Graphics 540, GT3e – 48 execution units with 64 MB of eDRAM
Iris Graphics 550, GT3e – 48 execution units with 64 MB of eDRAM (higher clock)
Iris Pro Graphics 580, GT4e – 72 execution units with 64 or 128 MB of eDRAM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_and_Iris_Graphics#Skylake
So that's make 580 around 150% the speed of 540 or Broadwell's Iris Pro 6200. Paired with some fast RAM that should be quiet capable.
Problem is that there is no actual proper release date for that and it may only appear in a Macbook Air special or something like that. Seems Intel are still having yield issues with 14nm.

How does it work with no hard drive? Operating system?

Well, this is slim one NUC6i3SYK so it only takes m.2 SSDs in size 2242 or 2280. The thicker one (NUC6i3SYH) takes m.2 plus a 2.5" drive.
Will handle Fifa and most other games with no sweat. All that power in such a small/quiet space...oh yes!

Cool, I hadn't realised that nbc.net have actually reviewed some laptops with 540. Seems to be about the same as the Geforce 840M, but a bit behind Iris Pro 6200 (which nbc forgot to include on the same page).

Its impressive for sure...the i5 with the 540 has TDP 15W. I'm excited, just wish they would hurry up and release it, must be next month

I'm waiting for the i5 version with the 640 graphics (capable of playing most games)

Details taken from Intel's brochure:

Intel list this as only having Intel HD 520 not 540 which makes sense since the page for i3 6100U says 520 too:
http://ark.intel.com/products/88180
Intel HD520 is a slower version HD530 (same config but runs slower) in the desktop Skylakes i5s.
I will be keeping an eye on these prices. :smiley: have some heat OP.
