what are the benefits of lga 1151?

Solution
Well the i5 4690k is the most powerful as the benchmark score is 7756 and the best motherboard socket to use is LGA 1150 not LGA1151 as its not really necessary yet and I don't the the i5 6660k exists :/
Hope this helps :)

Some benefits of having a LGA 1151 is it will support 6th generation intel cpus and the other benefit is you won't need to upgrade for a long long long long long long long time.

There is no 6660k, your mistakenly thinking of the A8-6660K. Now I have seen some improvements on the latest A10s but prior to those any of the APUs suck for gaming in comparison to iCores. They are made for low power, low use, cheap PC systems not for GAMING hardcores, which a i5 4960K is used to overclock with which adds even more heavier performance potential that the A8 can't even consider to challenge.
 
Agreed, 1151 has to be made available first along with skylake cpus to benchmark for any real world comparisons. Socket 1151 will bring some potential changes, it's up to the motherboard manufacturers whether they'll make use of it all. Current 1150 has 16 pcie lanes, 1151 will have 20 lanes. The boards will be a bit different since they're moving the voltage regulator from the cpu (fivr) back to the motherboard. Most 1150 motherboards have just 1 m.2 slot and/or sata express, the 1151's will be able to have multiple m.2/sata express. Likely higher number of usb ports and sata ports as well. Some 1151 will support ddr4 ram while others will support ddr3L (low power) so-dimm memory. Just because all these features are possible doesn't mean every board will offer them. I'm sure high end luxury boards will offer the most while lower end budget boards will leave some out.
 


As he said not launched yet, as noted here http://wccftech.com/wipintel-skylake-core-i7-6700k-core-i7-4790k-devils-canyon-performance-benchmarks-leaked-tested-ecs-z170-claymore-motherboard/ it has the 6700K not a 6660K as you suggested for this comparison. It proves deeper analysis but as Synphul Outlines. You will have to wait next month at Gamescon for the real deal information, makers, and so on which will be the launch event.
