Intel Skylake-X series CPU Photo Surfaces
Today what is claimed to be an Intel Skylake-X processor was pictured, showcasing a huge CPU size and some impressive leaked specifications. The processor would run on a new socket, LGA 2066 CPU socket (same as Xeon) and this socket will be Intel's largest socket to date, supporting up to 44 total PCIe 3.0 lanes and support DDR4-2666 MH memory.
Let me just state first that this might as well be the Xeon part ? Anyway, the Intel Skylake-X CPU has been pictured and leaked through Asia based benchlife, showcasing a very large CPU size, there are some leaked specifications.
LGA 2066 and Skylake-X has not been confirmed, it however is rumored that Skylake X could get 10 total CPU cores and have a TDP of up to 140W with a stronger DDR4 memory controller, supporting faster DDR4-2666MHz memory. As you can see the leaked sample shows a base clock of 2.40 GHz, add to that some turbos to 500 MHz and we are looking at roughly 3.0 GHz for the fastest core.
Skylake-X would actually include six, eight and ten core CPUs and thus follow Broadwell-E . Under the name Kaby Lake-X there could also will be quad-cores for socket 2066, with fewer PCI Express lanes and only two memory channels. Also for Kaby Lake-X Turbo Boost 3.0 is not supported. There will also be a new chipset which includes ten integrated USB 3.0 ports and eight SATA600 ports. It is still unclear whether USB 3.1 will also be part of the chipset.
Skylake-X would arrive at the earliest in the summer or maybe even winter of 2017.

Yeah, probably going to be a very high clocked 4core chip.. 4.5Ghz+ for sure, given that high TDP 114W..
Although I was a bit surprised to see entry 6core SkylakeX, was almost positive it will be 8core as entry not another 6core.
I really doubt the kabylake-X chip will be much faster than the regular desktop part.
they have probably just allowed ECC on the memory, and some other Enterprise features not found on the Desktop version.
that could account for the slight increase in TDP.
What I see about the Skylake-X is that huge reduction in LLC....
