Intel Skylake Die Block Details Shown

Intel Skylake Die Block Details Shown

You have seen our reviews of the 6600K and 6700K, Intel however has not shared specifics of the architecture. Until today, over at IDF they have been talking quite a bit more about the processor.  The 14nm Skylake die certainly is small.

We have a die block diagram that shows everything really, the iGPU space has increased heaps. You can spot the traditional design of two trows with two cores each sharing a L3 cache.  The integrated iGPU has up-to 24 active execution units (EUs). This GPU supports DirectX 12 (feature level 12_1). 

Have a peek, we will update our Core i5 6600K and Core i7 6700K reviews soon with info.

And it's not that simple (I assume).

Either way, 90%+ (and I'm being on the low-side) of people buying a CPU (or a system with a CPU) are going to be using the iGPU. You already have an enthusiast platform without the iGPU, leave the mainstream alone.

it is true... but the chipset cannot handle it (source intel ark)

for more than 4 the only solution for now is to go to the E branch (where there is no limit of core)... they will not kill the golden egg's hen :)

Yup intel segments the market, 8 core is enthusiast, x99 is enthusiast, z170 is mainstream 6600k is mainstream(although the high end up mainstream). No reason for them to change when AMD doesn't compete with them at all in enthusiast market and at high end mainstream.
