Kaby Lake will trickle out in late 2016 (U/Y and maybe DT), but it's so late in 2016 that a Q1 launch of Skylake-E would basically close the gap.
Kaby Lake is just Skylake with an improved IGP. No need to wait unless you want it for the IGP.

I don't think there were any changes other than the improved TIM and the multiplier bumps.Yeah, I knew the IGP would be improved, but I wasn't sure if there would be other improvements similar to the Devil's Canyon refresh. Wasn't Devil's Canyon a decent improvement over the original Haswell release? Of course, I suppose those extra few percentage points REALLY don't matter.
Or the EDRAM. Look what it has done with the 5775c, making it better than 4790k in some games with dgpu, while running at 600MHz less.
Or blasting skylake in winrar or some emulators very memory intensive.
Now add the cpu performance of Skylake at 4.6-4.7GHz.
The successor to 5775C is a Skylake with 2x128MB, not a Kaby Lake.
Just read that the new Xeons (E3-1230 v5) won't be supported by B150/H170/Z170 chipsets because Intel locks them.
Any information why they do that and whether they might be enabled later or not?
It isn't new? Tell that to people running Xeons E3 1230V3 on consumer Motherboards. This is totally new. Up to Haswell, you could run Xeons E3 on consumer Motherboards with no issues. Currently, they do NOT boot. And that seems to be intentional.The Xeon chipset "lockdown" isn't new. They only get validated for Xeon chipsets. Been so for ages.

At least you can use a Core i5/i7 on a C236, but not a Xeon on a H170/Z170.
https://translate.google.com/transl...tipp-cpus-fuer-desktop-chipsaetze/&edit-text=Did anyone test the new Xeons yet on something like Asrock? Did Asrock state that they wont add Xeon support?
The matrix isn't new. Neither is the usual forum panic and drama. My point is wait and see if something materialize out of it or not instead of a premature conclusion.
But it quickly turned disillusionment: None of desktop motherboards with the editorial Z170- or H170 chipset, be it from Asus, Gigabyte or Biostar, wanted to start with the Xeon E3-1230 v5. When troubleshooting talking with motherboard manufacturers and the demand came for new, compatible BIOS that supports the Skylake Xeon, information to light that Intel had not communicated publicly: The classic desktop chipsets are not only on the support of the Xeon E3-1200 completely excluded v5, they are not compatible according to Intel.
According to Combuterbase mainboard manufacturers confirmed the Xeons are locked intentionally by Intel on the consumer boards.BIOS updates for even doing SKU support. Question is if these updates will be possible.

This situation really sucks:
- Multi Core Enhancement has been locked too
- 6700K is not available
- 6700 has a weak turbo frequency
- 6600K has not HT
- 1230v5 is locked on consumer boards
I can't remember a launch fail like this in the last 15 years.
Welcome to the monopoly. DEAL with it like ShintaiDK who loves that.
Unless AMD or ARM becomes competent, that is only the beginning.
...- 6700K is not available...
I said that UNLESS AMD or ARM becomes competent.... They are not competent right now.So you are saying there's competition or not? ARM and AMD are competing but Intel has a monopoly? Also Intel's competition aren't as good as the Intel who doesn't innovate?
I can't make heads or tails of your reasoning.
