According to DigiTimes Intel plans to launch the first 14nm Skylake processors and 100-series desktop chipsets on August 2015 at the Gamescom gaming trade show, Germany.
Unnamed sources claim the launch involves two 14nm CPUs, the Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K. The K suffix indicates processors with unlocked multiplier parts for overclocking and system optimisation, as demanded by enthusiast/gamer customers.
Following Gamescom Intel will reportedly unveil more Skylake-based CPUs-- the Core i7-6700/6700T, Core i5-6600, 6500, 6400, 6600T, 6500T and 6400T, and the H170 and B150 chipsets on August-September 2015. September-October 2015 should see the release of the H110 chipsets, while the Q170 and Q150 are said to appear on October-November.
Motherboard vendors should start announcing 100-series-based motherboards from August 2015. The Skylake platform features an LGA1151 socket design with DDR4 memory support.
DigiTimes also reports notebook versions of Skylake processors will appear on Q4 2015 (just in time for the holiday season) with a notebook reference design complete with UUSB 3.1 Type-C ports.
