So if Cannonlake is mobile only like Broadwell, that means 3 years till a new desktop architecture? Ouch!
I think they got scared when Intel beated expectations and AMD had to make a warning
AMD is so dead that no one cares on them. Even Zen will fail hard. The only thing I am worried is that there are no Celerons there.. Maybe Intel is moving them to the Atom tier at last?
I doubt it will be mobile-only, but we'll see.
Does anyone know when Skylake-U should be coming out?
Maybe 5675/5775C replacements only.
I doubt it will be mobile-only, but we'll see.
I'm seeing a new i3 class in there, t3 for skylake, maybe an unlocked cpu? Before anyone says there's no -k there the unlocked Pentium hasn't it too... one can dream
Thus, following Skylake, Intel is preparing to trot out a third 14-nanometer product with the simpler moniker "Lake." Lake is said to be built on the same foundation of Skylake but "with key performance enhancements."
A 10-nanometer model with the code name Cannon Lake is promised to follow during the second half of 2017.
In response to some push back from analysts and investors curious about the delay for the 10-nanometer edition, clarified that Intel hopes to bring the time frame back to two years eventually.
"Remember on all of these technologies, each one has kind of its own recipe of complexity and difficulty. 14 to 10, same thing that happened when 22 to 14," Krzanich remarked.
While the ramp of “Grantley” and “Brickland” may be slower than expected, Intel said Wednesday that its data center group’s revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3.9 billion, up 5 per cent sequentially and up 10 per cent year-over-year. At least from financial point of view, Intel may not need to change its server roadmap.
Theoretically, new chips could boost demand for Intel-based servers. However, there are reports that certain customers are cancelling their orders of current-generation Intel Xeon-powered supercomputers in anticipation of machines based on “Skylake” chips. For example, the U.K.’s Met-office wants “Purley”-based supercomputers because of higher performance and energy efficiency.
“Skylake would mean higher processor rates and that means more FLOPS per watt – to an organization that’s compute-intensive, the more FLOPS we get per watt the better said Dave Underwood, deputy director of the Met Office high-performance computing (HPC) program.
According to a pre-publication "backgrounder" in DigiTimes, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is planning to release a new Surface tablet in October. Given that Microsoft already launched the Surface 3 this year based on Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Atom processor and Windows 8.1, it stands to reason that this next generation Surface will be the Surface Pro 4.
Based on this launch timing, it's possible to make some educated guesses as to what Microsoft will be bringing to the table with this next generation tablet.
When Intel launched its Broadwell family of low-power processors earlier this year, Microsoft ultimately chose not to launch a Surface Pro model using those chips. Instead, it kept selling tablets using Intel's older generation Haswell processors, apparently skipping Broadwell.
Intel has said that it plans to launch its next generation processors based on its Skylake architecture in the second half of 2015. Given that this next generation Surface Pro is reportedly coming in October -- which is in the fourth quarter of the year -- it seems pretty clear that the device will be powered by Skylake and not the older generation Broadwell.
Key performance enhancements doesn't sound like it is just a renamed Skylake.
By that time Bristol Ridge appears with stronger iGPU and with the advantage of DDR4.Iris Pro Skylake-i3 at the same price point of Kaberi APU, will completely destroy AMD, I don't think there is anything stopping Intel on going for that.

Bring on the Pentiums!!!There is Skylake Celerons and Pentiums. Not sure how you could possible miss it.
Bring on the Pentiums!!!
G4258, anyone?
Would this generate more overall revenue than would be lost by ppl opting down?I was thinking of a triple core model (cut quad). If it was cut from the Skylake 4+4e that would really annoy AMD.
Theoretically should be called Surface Pro 4, this new flagship Windows is expected to be released in October - this is the message from Taiwan's technology site Electronic Times.
It is said that Surface Pro 4 will use "the same slim design, borders, and screen size are similar to the previous generation of products," but this new machine will be equipped with Intel's latest processor Skylake, as well as the largest capacity 256GB Samsung SSD solid state drive . Unknown other configuration information, including the price is not clear.
Remember on all of these technologies, each one has kind of its own recipe of complexity and difficulty; 14 to 10, same thing that happened when 22 to 14. The lithography is continuing to get more difficult as you try and scale and the number of multi-pattern steps you have to do is increasing. This is the longest period of time without a lithography node change. So we’re assuming 10-nanometers does not have EUV for our technology. That combined with just the other material science changes you do with the new technology.
We believe even with this 2017, our lead in Moore’s Law will not change dramatically. We believe we’ll continue to lead with roughly the same leadership position that we have today. We base that on, one, what really counts when I talk about 2017, that’s not samples, that’s not small volume. That’s converting over the Cannonlake and producing a large percentage of our CPUs in volume in the second half of 2017. So there’s a bit of definition. When we say — so at the second half of 2017, we’re talking about millions of units and large volumes.
At 7-nanometer, we're trying to bring in EUV. Depending on the health of that, we could be at two years, we could be at 2.5 years, and that will change this answer. So we'll give more insight into this in the Q4 investor meeting.
To address this cadence, in the second half of 2016 we plan to introduce a third 14-nanometer product, code named Kaby Lake, built on the foundations of the Skylake micro-architecture but with key performance enhancements.
And while there were year-over-year declines in desktop and notebook volume, we saw record Core desktop mix due to growth in the high-end segment and record Core i7 mix overall for the PC business.
