Skylake Clockspeeds and benchmarks!

I hope these will be a big step forward, but I'm not getting my hopes up based on Intel's form over the last 4 years. Also, I own a core i7 940 from 2008 and yet all these new mainstream CPUs still have four cores; it feels like technology hasn't really advanced and coupled with the heat issues, this makes me reluctant to upgrade.

Intel Processor Roadmap Leaked – 10nm Cannonlake and Skylake-E Arrives in Q3 2016, Skylake M/U/Y Chips in Q4 2015

WCCF so I will take with a mountain of salt - e.g. Where is Broadwell Desktop on that map??? Their own article says:

wccftech said:
Starting off with some details, we know Intel is launching Broadwell in mid of June and will launch in five SKUs that include a mix of desktop socketed and BGA chips. The desktop socketed platform will include the Core i7-5775C and Core i5-5675C processor
Click to expand...

And yet there is no mention of LGA/Socketed Broadwell.
 
If one were to read much into little, it could indicate the i5-5675C and i7-5775C are spare dies from their originally broadwell mobile (for lack of a better term for the TDP range) destined chips. Slight speed bump and +20W TDP.
(Considering that is what desktop pretty much is anyway it stands regardless of the slide).

If they intend to follow with skylake quickly as they say they probably aren't going to burden themselves with massive overproduction of broadwell so late in.
-Broadwell U/Y use a slightly different 14nm process specifically for low clocks/power which was ready earlier. Edit: Or that may have only been for Broadwell Y, but you get the gist.

If this is true, then it would mean Broadwell-C (5775C) and Broadwell-k are cancelled. I wonder if Skylake-E will be compatible with x99, I doubt it since it's a new architecture, hmm!

It will most likely be a new socket for Skylake-E and so new platform that will replace the x99 platform.
 
I think it's an outdated/obsolete roadmap as it is missing current info regarding the release of for example Broadwell i7 5775C & i5 5675C in the tdp 25-95W Traditional DT.

Also why is Haswell Refresh listed in the HEDT TDP 130W when there is no sign of such refreshes of 5930K, 5820K and 5960X. Broadwell-E is also reported to come out early 2016.

Skylake-E won't be compatible with X99. It would be on a new chipset due to architectural changes compared to Haswell.
 
Skylake -E.. Now that's a setup I could get excited about. These upcoming '4/8' 'core/thread' chips just aren't doing it for me..

Skylake -E will hopefully be power efficient / run cool enough to be a real consideration for Mini-ITX, then I would def build with it..
 
That's the old roadmap. I saw it on anands last week in a discussion about delays.

Even a mountain of salt cannot mask the taste of bullcrap.

Looks like I'll be keeping my 2700K for even longer than I thought!!!

I dont know whether to be happy or disappointed!

That roadmap is a client roadmap hence the differences between that and the other consumer roadmap. Both look legit.

Client.

Consumer.

I'm aware of the consumer roadmap, since that's the image I uploaded to imgur a few days ago, which you just relinked in your post :)

I'm simply questioning this new 'client' roadmap, since it fails to mention Broadwell for desktop/HEDT at all, something Intel just would not do unless it was cancelled, which we know it's not. Hence I believe it to be fake.
 
Looking forward to this architecture; it'll be interesting to see if it's really worthwhile upgrading from my current setup when released; as realistically, my 2700K at 4.7GHz isn't exactly struggling with most things, and the IPC gains/reduced clocking from the newer chips has meant the gains so far just haven't justified the cost.

I am sure my Z68/PCI-E 2.0 is probably holding back my R9 290 a little, even more so if I was to upgrade to crossfire or 3-series when they arrive; which'd be in tandem with DDR4 (my system just doesn't like DDR3 over 1600MHz) and newer/larger SSDs :)
Zen will also be interesting if the higher core numbers and 40% IPC improvements hold true.

40% IPC as well as FinFET which should give it an bigger boost in performance.
