The info is based on rumor but maybe it is correct...now we wait for Computex

    8MB of L3 cache again?  We've had this on top-model quad-cores since 45nm Bloomfield, but avoidance of the cannibalization of the X99 platform could be a consideration, as if a 4GHz Skylake quad will help...

    What's with the choice of IGP, HD5000 is a Haswell branding, GT3 w/o eDRAM, 40-eu at 1100MHz.  It would have made sense to follow the past few trends and have the mainstream flagship desktop processor take half the flagship IGP, or 36-eu at 1350MHz and be branded HD7000, making the flagship HD8200 Pro.  I assume it will be tweaked to run DX12 and not the DX11.1 it is defaulted to.  But hey, if this is a rumor, at least we can see discrepancies.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].

    Edit; never mind, was thinking of Broadwell for some reason.

    I'm excited to see how these perform.

    I can see these being enough of a performance gain over Sandy Bridge for people to upgrade to Skylake but the chipset features are what is really impressive in comparison to the former, as opposed to IPC.

    Looks like this might be confirmed:
