Posted February 24, 2015 http://www.anandtech.com/show/9006/embedded-world-2015-skylakedt-industrial-motherboard-spotted So ComputerBase.de got its hands on an asrock prototype 1151 board with a C236 chipset and DDR3L SODIMM slots, as well as some chipset roadmaps. One of the big talking points of Skylake is the DDR4 compatibility, but this board throws a spanner into that by supporting two DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM slots for up to 16GB of memory. It is also worth noting the separate chipset (most likely a server grade C236 for the next Xeon E3 CPUs) and support for three HDMI ports on the board. now it was speculated that Skylake would have both memory controllers, but this basically confirms it now. And now onto the bigger news, chipsets and TDPs As we can see, the PCH doesnt get a fancy new naming scheme, they will just go to X100 series now. We get the normal desktop and mobile chipsets, as well as servers E3v4/5 ones. Whats interesting is Skylake goes on a smaller process node than Haswell, while introducing a higher TDP. This can only mean two things much higher clockspeeds or more cores I would wager on the more cores, be it CPU or GPU (probably a combo). What this information lets me know is that Skylake i7 range will probably be 6 cores. But we shall see. @patrickjp93 have fun "Unofficially Official" Leading Scientific Research and Development Officer of the Official Star Citizen LTT Conglomerate | Reaper Squad, Idris Captain | 1x Aurora LN Game developer, AI researcher, Developing the UOLTT mobile apps G SIX [My Mac Pro G5 CaseMod Thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 24, 2015 I wager both. More clock speeds AND more cores. Maybe even 6 cores in a normal i7? Skylake is already going to kick serious ass in the iGPU department, thats for sure.

Posted February 24, 2015 "reasonable" 6-core consumer parts on skylake? With DDR3 support? This would be pretty awesome! I can live without some of the fancy pro-sumer features on the -E chips and without DDR4 (like most consumers), but 6 cores and being able to re-use DDR3 would be amazing. If this turns out to be true I might even upgrade to skylake or the skylake refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 24, 2015 Would love a 6 core i7 Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM. - WCCFTECH I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 24, 2015 I don't know if I should feel bad for just getting a 4690k or good because we might finally get a proper performance boost. I guess I'll pass on my old parts to my littlebrother and go balls to the walls with a i7 etc. I might finally be able to run DayZ mod, Arma 3 and so on without horrible fps drops... Brute force!

Well yeah. i think all i7s will be six cores, with the top i5s being non HT 6cores, and then the rest will go 4 core, with pentium staying 2c4t I will skip this generation.

Posted February 24, 2015 Author So, will the motherboard be compatible with both DDR3 and 4? Or certain boards will have 3 and other ones will have 4? some will be DDR3, some will be DDR4, some will be UniDIMM which is intels standard that accepts both iterations "Unofficially Official" Leading Scientific Research and Development Officer of the Official Star Citizen LTT Conglomerate | Reaper Squad, Idris Captain | 1x Aurora LN Game developer, AI researcher, Developing the UOLTT mobile apps G SIX [My Mac Pro G5 CaseMod Thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 24, 2015 Author But that means much more motherboard models. I really want to see how they are going to implement all this. yes it does, i assume it will be the same models, with different slots or how it was done in 775 days, with both slots on the board... I'm assuming UniDIMM is hardware patened by Intel, right? Does that mean companies like Crucial and Kingston have to start making UniDIMM ram modules? its an intel patent if i am not mistaken, but how its done i have no idea, @patrickjp93 should know more, as i have never cared about unidimm "Unofficially Official" Leading Scientific Research and Development Officer of the Official Star Citizen LTT Conglomerate | Reaper Squad, Idris Captain | 1x Aurora LN Game developer, AI researcher, Developing the UOLTT mobile apps G SIX [My Mac Pro G5 CaseMod Thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 24, 2015 Intel has no plans to bring 6 cores on mainstream platforms... TDPs are usually "slotted" ( few brackets, like 35 and 65W ) and not well defined before actual release. I'm pretty sure that if the 95W value is true, it will be due to both CPU and iGPU power combined. I think there will be a big bump on iGPUs and a small bump both on IPC and frequency, probably the new i7 K will be at the same frequency of the current 4790K.
