Core i5 6600K and Z170 boards also seen in the wild

Intel has just announced its first products based on the Skylake 14nm technology and we have met two of them.

It all makes sense now

The dark satanic rumour mill has suggested a good reason Microsoft delayed the launch of its flagship tablet-laptop, Surface Pro 4. 

Breaks the 4000MHz mark

Getting ready for Intel's Skylake launch, G.Skill has unveiled the new Trident Z and Ripjaws V DDR4 memory series with Trident Z memory kit that is rated at staggering 4000MHz frequency.

And Compute Sticks

Chipzilla is expected to upgrade its Compute Stick and NUC solutions to Skylake processors starting October. 

30 percent longer battery with faster graphics

Skylake is just around the corner. Intel will reveal the processor in August but  details are starting to leak already.

With or without armour

Skylake-S is close alongside the motherboards to support them. The CPU’s desktop version comes with different chipsets while the most famous is coming under the Z170 brand.

Replaces Intel Core i5 4590

Skylake will show its face in August, for both the notebook and desktop markets, and we have some new information about the upcoming desktop parts. 

6.7 percent better than Haswell Refresh

The first scores of Chipzilla's highly anticipated Skylake desktop processors have been made public and they are better than the Haswell Refresh Core i7 4790K. 

Just as well it has no rivals 

A couple of weeks ago we said that Intel was delaying its Cannonlake processors and its next-generation Kaby Lake processors.

35W targets low power market

Intel plans to release a 35W TDP Skylake-S processor in Q3 2015 and this CPU is set to replace the Core i7 4790T.
