Intel Skylake Launch Schedule Surfaces

Lots and lots of info on Skylake surfaces on the web lately. This round itsa roadmap that details the launch schedule of the 6th gen processors.

The roadmap is leaked by Benchlife, an Asian website. Next to the desktop range Intel is seriously updating its mobility lineup.  The desktop side would be the Skylake-S series, the Skylake-Y series would power the Core M based processors for ultra low TDP devices, Skylake-U processors will be mainstream mobility devices and Skylake-H series are the high-end, performance focused mobility chips that will include both regular HQ variants along with Xeon processors for consumers demanding extra workstation capabilities on developer notebooks. 

95W Skylake-S Processors (Core i7-6700K / Core i5-6600K)

The quad-core processor with HyperThreading enabled will get 8 logical CPUs. with a clock frequency of 4.00 GHz and a turbo towards 4.20 GHz Turbo Boost frequency. The CPU has 8 MB L3 cache, and an integrated memory controller that supports both DDR4 and DDR3 memory.

• Core i7 6700K
  4 cores and Hyper-Threading, 4.0GHz frequency, 4.20GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, 8MB last-level cache, dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 memory controller with 1600MHz or 2133MHz support, 95W TDP, Intel HD Graphics 5000-series integrated graphics core, LGA1151 packaging
   
• Core i5 6600K
  4 cores, 3.50GHz frequency, 3.90GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, 6MB last-level cache, dual-channel DDR3/DDR4 memory controller with 1600MHz or 2133MHz support, 95W TDP, Intel HD Graphics 5000-series integrated graphics core, LGA1151 packaging;

Intel 65W Mainstream Skylake-S Processors (Core i7 / Core i5)

WccfTech has got a nice skinny on these ones. Coming to the mainstream lineup, we are looking at 4 chips which include the Core i7-6700 that features same specifications as the Core i7-6700K but doesn’t come in an unlocked package. Similarly, the Core i5-6600 also has the same specifications as seen on the unlocked model but without the K-Series design that allows over-clocking support. Clocks for the Core i7-6700 are maintained at 3.4 GHz base and 4.0 GHz boost while the Core i5-6600 is clocked at 3.3 GHz base and 3.9 GHz boost. The Core i5-6500 is a quad core clocked at 3.2 GHz base and 3.6 GHz boost while the Core i5-6400 is a quad core clocked at 2.7 GHz base and 3.3 GHz boost. All of these chips feature a 65W TDP and the Core i5 models pack 6 MB of L3 cache while the Core i7 model gets 8 MB L3 cache.

Intel 35W Low TDP Skylake-S Processors (Core i7 / Core i5)

Over at the more power efficient side, Intel will launch 4 T-Series chips which stand for low-power. All chips feature just 35W TDP and include Core i7-6700T as a multi-threaded quad core with 2.8 GHz base and 3.6 GHz boost clock. It packs 8 MB of L3 cache. The Core i5 models range from the Core i5-6600T, Core i5-6500T and Core i5-6400T featuring 6 MB of L3 cache, quad core (non-multithreaded designs) and boost speeds ranging from 2.8 to 3.6 GHz.
