Intel's 6th Generation Skylake-S Processor Lineup Leaked - Core i7-6700K Leads The Pack, 10 SKUs Detailed, First Sample Spotted

Intel's 6th generation Skylake-S processor lineup has been leaked, detailing 10 desktop processors which will be powering the adjacent generation desktop platform. The consumer platform which volition be based off the 100-series chipset is expected to launch at IDF15 in San Francisco along with several desktop fries which will range from 95W performance (enthusiast) variants to 65-35W power efficient variants. The leaked information was posted by benchlife.info (via PCGameshardware).

Intel'due south Skylake-Southward Desktop Processor Lineup Leaked - Core i7-6700K Flagship and 9 Core i7/Core i5 SKUs

We have plenty of details regarding the Skylake-Southward platform which is going to launch for desktop consumers. Nosotros know the chips that are going to power the motherboards and the details regarding the processors feature set is known in particular. The only affair that remains to be covered regarding Skylake-Southward family of CPUs is the number of SKUs which will be included in the lineup and what architectural improvements are we looking at when it comes to both CPU and GPU side. For the lineup, we are looking at a total of x Skylake-S chips which are detailed and listed below:

• Intel Core i7-6700K
• Intel Core i5-6600K
• Intel Core i7-6700
• Intel Core i5-6600
• Intel Core i5-6500
• Intel Core i5-6400
• Intel Cadre i7-6700T
• Intel Cadre i5-6600T
• Intel Cadre i5-6500T
• Intel Core i5-6400T

Intel 95W "Enthusiast" Skylake-South Processors (Cadre i7-6700K / Cadre i5-6600K)

The first two processors that include the Cadre i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K were leaked a few days ago and are labeled every bit "Enthusiast" 95W processors. Starting off with the flagship Cadre i7-6700K CPU, we are looking at a quad core design with eight threads which shows a multi-threaded pattern. The scrap features eight MB of L3 cache and has clock speeds maintained at 4.0 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost clock. The chip can back up DDR4 2133 MHz retentiveness and DDR3L 1600 MHz memory.

Similarly, the Core i5-6600K is the more cost conservative enthusiast offering and being a quad core, it stays away from a multi-threaded path. The clock speeds are maintained at iii.5 GHz base and 3.9 GHz heave and has a total of 6 MB of L3 cache with similar DDR4/DDR3L memory back up as the top offering.

These Skylake processors will have several features that include increment IA and graphics operation at much lower power than their predecessors. While the TDP remains 95W, Intel has further improved the efficiency of these new fries hence delivering much meliorate performance. The Skylake processors will back up both DDR3L and DDR4 memory types. The DDR3L retentivity will be bachelor on the mini-PC designs such as All-in-ones and NUCs while traditional PCs which will get Z170 and H170 series motherboards volition have native back up for DDR4 DIMMs. The unlocked processors options which are also the Enthusiast CPUs as detailed above will permit enhanced full range BCLK overclocking. Hopefully, Intel volition utilize better TIM or Soldering to prevent whatsoever heating issues on the dense 14nm chips. Other features includes Turbo Boost two.0, Hyper Threading, DMI 3.0, 3 digital displays capability (including embedded Display Ports), HEVC, VP8, VVP9, AMCs and support for the latest APIs such as DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.3/4.four and OpenCL 2.0.

Intel 65W "Mainstream" Skylake-S Processors (Core i7 / Core i5)

Coming to the mainstream lineup, we are looking at 4 chips which include the Core i7-6700 that features same specifications as the Core i7-6700K but doesn't come in an unlocked packet. Similarly, the Cadre i5-6600 also has the same specifications as seen on the unlocked model but without the Grand-Serial pattern that allows over-clocking support. Clocks for the Cadre i7-6700 are maintained at three.iv GHz base and four.0 GHz boost while the Cadre i5-6600 is clocked at 3.iii GHz base and three.ix GHz boost. The Core i5-6500 is a quad cadre clocked at iii.ii GHz base and 3.half-dozen GHz heave while the Cadre i5-6400 is a quad core clocked at 2.vii GHz base and three.three GHz boost. All of these chips feature a 65W TDP and the Core i5 models pack six MB of L3 cache while the Core i7 model gets 8 MB L3 cache.

Intel 35W "Low TDP" Skylake-South Processors (Core i7 / Core i5)

Over at the more power efficient side, Intel volition launch 4 T-Series fries which stand for low-power. All chips feature just 35W TDP and include Core i7-6700T as a multi-threaded quad core with 2.eight GHz base and 3.half-dozen GHz heave clock. Information technology packs 8 MB of L3 cache. The Core i5 models range from the Cadre i5-6600T, Cadre i5-6500T and Core i5-6400T featuring 6 MB of L3 enshroud, quad core (non-multithreaded designs) and heave speeds ranging from 2.8 to 3.vi GHz. The specifications can be seen in particular in the chart below:

First Intel Skylake-S Applied science Sample Spotted:

What is more impressive about the leak is the fact that we are looking at the starting time Intel Skylake-Southward based engineering sample. The chip shown past the source is a very early on sample and a quad cadre that operates at just two.2 GHz however we know what the final specs of the SKUs would exist like. The flake shown off has a totally new contact surface compared to past processors and the substrate that holds the die is less thicker compared to Haswell and Ivy Span series fries. No benchmarks or verbal details were mentioned just we will also get a glimpse at them in the future reports.
