Fair enough.
I'm now wondering how many cores Skylake-E will have and what clockspeeds they will run at.
With Skylake-E it's kind of tricky to call. The efficiency gains of 14nm allowed Intel to pack in more cores in Broadwell-E while keeping the base freq at the "magic" 3GHz.
Skylake-E will have the benefit of a more mature 14nm process than Broadwell-E will have, but at the same time Skylake-E is a much wider machine + it has AVX-512 which should also burn power. Maybe Intel will up the core count to 12 and for non-AVX workloads it might be able to run at 3GHz base (although this might be tricky), but I suspect that for AVX workloads base clock needs to come down (which is why in the Xeon E5/E7 chips today there is regular turbo and AVX-turbo).
Basically Intel is realizing though that gamers are willing to pay big bucks for more performance/cores so they will try to up the core counts as quickly as they can for HEDT going forward, IMO. They have long neglected enthusiasts who are more than eager to hand them their money and I'm glad somebody within the company's marketing organization finally "gets" it.
