Fanless Tech has published some slids it found which suggest that like Intel's current U-series processors, these chips are expected to be deployed in tablets, convertibles, ultra-portable laptops, and fanless desktops.
The new range covers a full spectrum of the Intel processor range from Core i7 down to Celeron. As a low-power lineup TDPs are kept low with the new processors having TDPs in the range from a minimum of 7.5W up to a maximum of 15W.
The 15W U-series powers Ultrabook, MacBook Air, the entry-level iMac, and the NUC. Compared to Broadwell-U, Skylake-U looks streamlined and is easier to understand. Actually - aside vPro chips - there will be just one i7, one i5, one i3, one Pentium, and two Celerons available.
? Core i7-6600U (2.6-3.4 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 520 / vPro / 15W TDP)
? Core i5-6300U (2.4-3.0 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 520 / vPro / 15W TDP)
? Core i7-6500U (2.5-3.1 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 520 / 15W TDP)
? Core i5-6200U (2.3-2.8 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 520 / 15W TDP)
? Core i3-6100U (2.3 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 520 / 15W TDP)
? Pentium 4405U (2.1 GHz / 2C4T / HD Graphics 510 / 15W TDP)
? Celeron 3955U (2.0 GHz / 2C2T / HD Graphics 510 / 15W TDP)
? Celeron 3855U (1.6 GHz / 2C2T / HD Graphics 510 / 15W TDP)
