It has been mere weeks since the current generation Broadwell desktop chips made their way to the store shelves, but now it’s time for Intel Skylake processors to make their mark.
We now have an idea when the company’s great tock arrives.
Autumn, it is.
Just yesterday did we get a look at a die of the Core i7-6700K chip, and there is now talk that the chip giant is ready to unleash an entire arsenal of its next-generation processors this autumn. And Intel is targeting a high-profile gaming event to show them off.
The Gamescom tradeshow in Germany.
Intel wants to prove a point here that these new processors should be a gamer’s choice when it comes to picking a new CPU for their custom builds, even new PCs and laptops that they buy off the shelf. Copying in essence the successful launch AMD had of their Fury X graphics chips at E3.
So late August, early September it is.
And apparently, the flurry of these Skylake processors and chipsets will continue long after Gamescom.
Motherboard manufacturers will also start releasing their 100-series based motherboards on August 5, with support for the new LG1151 socket and the relatively new DDR4 memory.
Intel is also readying and is expected to introduce mobile versions of Skylake for notebooks and high-performance tablets in winter of this year.
With Windows 10 and new Intel chips launching one after the other, this is as great a time as any to buy or build new devices.
