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.

This will be when I upgrade next...maybe.

I'm not having any issues with FPS so we'll see.

I really like the Z97's but...it's not even worth jumping to those from a Z77 IMHO.

The Z97 boards DO look nice though.

No competition.

there is plenty of competition... only I7 k is unreachable for now.
(btw arm OC as hell... i would keep an eye on them too when they'll reach mainstream)

Only the i7 has HT, not the i5.

I3 have it too and some even episodic Pentium...

I would like to see a K-series i3.

and why not a Pentium? ... oups already planed in a few by Intel lol

Right, that's what I said. The difference between i5 and i7 is what implies hyperthreading, not "K".

I3 have it too and some even episodic Pentium..

We're talking quads. i3's are duals.

not 100% true some I5 where dual core with HT and even some I5 K as the 655K.

Also i7's have more L3 cache and usually for "enthusiast/extreme lga2011" market

Interesting part by that Broadwell & PCH (cons, corp is

picture,

which kinda confirms what that Intel REP said once about Z87 compatibility back in September 2013;
"you can plug the chip into existing systems and 2nd we will have brand new systems z97.."

Broadwell has this new extra instruction set, which was a part of AMD's 3dnow!
PREFETCH/PREFETCHW – Prefetch at least a 32-byte line into L1 data cache
and new,
Intel ADX (Multi-Precision Add-Carry Instruction Extensions) is a set of extensions to the x86 instruction set architecture for arbitrary-precision arithmetic.
*both default part of Skylake

Although Skylake has some new very interesting stuff as well

L3 12mb looks plenty, just like in the old Yorkfiled days
512bit avx, 2x over Haswell/Broadwell, crazy

and by Skylake-E pcie4.0

I think i'll go for Broadwell K for now, then the thing after Skylake or later :nerd:
