Intel Skylake Processors will get 100-series Chipset

Well, chronologically ity only makes sense of course. But future Intel Skylake Processors will get a 100-series Chipset. And yeah, a slide on that chipset just reared its head on the mighty internet.

There will be four SKUs based on Skylake:

SLK-S, which will be socketed LGA
SLK-U ultra-low power BGA, for Ultrabooks
SLK-Y mainstream BGA for compact desktops and all-in-ones
SLK-H likely mainstream BGA for conventional notebooks.

So the Skylake generation of CPUs and PCHs also will get four kinds of wireless network controllers depending on the SKU, "Snowfield Peak" Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, "Douglas Peak" WiGig + Bluetooth, "Pine Peak" WiGig, and XMM726x 4G LTE controllers; and "Jacksonville" GbE wired Ethernet controllers are mantioned in the roadmap.

Thunderbolt will be upgraded towards a faster "Alpine Ridge" controller. Cheers to tpu for the spot on this one, roadmap via vr-zone.

K is for designed processors inside a series with unlocked overclocking and others features like HT.

A K series processor does not imply hyperthreading. i5/i7 is generally what implies hyperthreading, at least for quad cores.

Only the i7 has HT, not the i5.

I don't think he was saying the i5 has HT, I think he mean't the difference between the i5 and i7 was HT, not the K overclock thing.

And some i3's have HT (which is why he said 'at least for quad cores').
