Hmm, I wonder what the i7-6820HK is?
Numerically higher than the 6700.
Quad-core + GT4e iGPU perhaps?

And now we know why Apple skipped Broadwell-H.

The wonders keep getting higher with the i7-6920HK - probably just another low cost unlocked mobile hexcore with Iris Pro graphics. Same old same old.

No dissent regarding this timeline? That's pretty soon.
I keep almost buying X99, but maybe a Skylake mainstream i7 would be a be better bet.

From comparing chips at ARK, H is either "High Definition" or "High End/High Performance". It looks like latter is more likely, because while for Quads the H's only differentiator is basically better graphics outputs, for the dual cores its higher TDP and faster clocks speeds.
Using Apple as an example, they just updated their 15" line, which should have used broadwell-H, with the same haswell cpus for what will be the third consecutive year (2013, 2014 and now). I can't imagine them not waiting till september-october for a real update to skylake after waiting so long for broadwell, which leds me to think that it might still be quite a few months away.
Hey, if they launch early, and Apple updates them again, I'll be the first in line. I was waiting a long time for this years 15" refresh, and after yesterday disappointment, I just bought a 13" model with broad well, which I will then sell. I just couldn't wait any longer.

I'm going to hold out for the i7-6920HKSU-RT version.
More letters in product name = more performance.

The MBP wasn't really updated. It hasn't changed in a long time. They are due for a full physical refresh, and I'm certain that the reason they didn't even bother with Broadwell-H in the 15" rMBP is because the big update with Skylake-H is just a few months away and time/money spent on the the current generation of products would be a waste for them.
Yes, I think everybody expects the rMBP line to be refreshed with a new design for Skylake, and I agree. But if Skylake is just 4-5 months away, why even bother updating them with just a new dGPU in the top model, faster ssds and the touchpad?
They could have saved all those upgrades a few months and make it even more enticing of an upgrade, I think. It would be almost unprecedented for them to do an update so early.
