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.
