Wish they would skip Broawell-E like they did Broadwell-k and go strait to Skylake-E.

I doubt it, unless circumstances will force them to. Intel will go for 110% milking, since they basically have no real competition other than themselves...

If only it were a real upgrade... Which it doesn't seem to be, sadly. I hope that guru3d will review both the i7 and the i5.
