It doesnt list all in the compare. There is currently 2 Z170 and 1 H170 from Asus with DDR3L support.
According to this all Asus boards are DDR4.

Either way if the board you get uses DDR3 is has to be DDR3L.
Different market segments as well.
Amazon.com is now listing i5-6600k, but it's out of stock. Still no sign of i7-6700k.

As someone who currently games and works on an i7-4790K based system I’ll be the first to say that Haswell and especially Devil’s Canyon users won’t see any tangible performance benefits in most applications. Intel’s lock-step intergenerational improvements of about 10% continue here just like they did with Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Broadwell so some enthusiasts will likely want to roll their eyes and say “I’ll wait for whatever comes next”. However anyone still on the Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge platform will likely see a noticeable speedup in everything from gaming to video conversion to photo processing.
The 20% improvement over a comparable i7-4770K may be a minimal number for many of you reading this but we can see where Intel focused their microarchitecture update efforts in the move from the Haswell to Broadwell to Skylake. In tests that use x86 instruction sets, engage a single processing thread or cause another component to bottleneck things, gains over Haswell-generation CPUs will be minimal at best. Other applications which use newer instruction sets like AVX2 and SSE4.1 see stratospheric improvements and as additional programs roll those features, we can expect the gap between old and new to widen further. More importantly, many of these benefits have been achieved on a processor that has a 5% lower Turbo clock than an i7-4790K, proving that despite frequency stagnation IPC rates continue to rise.
Intel’s official Skylake reveal with its full array of SKUs and architecture details may be a few weeks away but what we’ve seen so far is certainly impressive. The i7-6700K, i5-6600K and Z170 platform may only be tasty appetizers before the main course is served but if first impressions are anything to go by, this processor generation may be one of the most popular in recent memory. While the i7-6700K didn’t really blow my mind with its benchmark numbers, it provides more than enough performance uplift over previous generations to justify upgrading a pre-Haswell generation system. As higher bandwidth SSDs and USB 3.1 devices become increasingly widespread, even Z97 and Z87 users may start jumping ship into Z170’s waiting arms. It will certainly be interesting to see what the rest of Intel’s Skylake lineup will look like.
Almost missed Hardware Canucks review.
Ohh look at those lovely graphs, with all those $350 CPUs we have a single $140 AMD APU but zero Intel 2011-v3 CPUs.
Haw anyone in the US managed to grab a i7 6700k?
I mean, AMD is not relevant to charts anyway. This is about whether Intel improved on Devil's Canyon/Broadwell-C. We know Intel's top-end is better than AMD.
Newegg is listing the i5 to be available on the 14th with a combo only, the i7 is MIA.

You're welcome.
Look like Hardware.fr was incredibly unlucky, wasnt enough that they had to put Sandy Bridges in their review as this was apparently a requirement from Intel..
We don't actually have proper memory scaling data for Skylake yet, but my guess is we won't see a much different picture than what Haswell-E painted.I love how some usual suspects say you can now get DDR4 for the price of DDR3, but yet, if you equip those slow DDR4 kits with your SKL chip you are undeniabily crippling it from performing as high as the so called 15% perf increase those same usual suspects are trying, so hard, to force into the readers.
Yeah that seems pretty weird thing to complain about to me also. What's the problem with seeing SB, are SB owning enthusiasts not a target audience the latest unlocked processors?Is there a reason they shouldn't include Sandy Bridge? Seems like a very odd complaint.
Yeah, I see no need to suggest that Sandy owners need to upgrade to Skylake. Still, it's better than expected. Skylake-C might be the one to get, with the edram giving more bandwidth.
