Small question.

[Paralectic]

As Skylake is launching at the end of the year ( August ) will there be the 5670k or something like that or what will the Broadwell be named.

Or is Skylake named the 5000X series?

I'm confused.

There is a table around somewhere showing exactly what each CPU will be named when released.

I think it will be 5600 for the i5 and 5700 for the i7 - not sure for certain though

Yeah but is that Skylake? Or won't there be any desktop Broadwell CPUs before Skylake?

*sign* Now my head's mixed  :unsure:

Right sorry, Broadwell is still doing the 5775C for the i7 and 5675C for the i5

Skylake will be 6600K and 6700K

So I can basically wait a few months for the new Skylake i5, will they work on Z97 boards or will a new chipset be required?

Z170 will be needed

Nope, neither are going to worth on the Z97 chipset

Broadwell wont need a new chipset, skylake will

Ah okay, the only downside is that it's DDR4 and I have a not so old 8GB DDR3 kit.

Im pretty sure that skylake is backwards compatible with DDR3

Architectures being backwards compatible with RAM? never heard of that before.

 It's a DIMM that can hold both DDR3-class and DDR4-class DRAM chips, designed for Intel's upcoming Core "Skylake" processors. "Skylake" will feature an IMC that supports both DDR3 and DDR4.

Look at the old SandyBridge processors and add 4000 to their numbers is the way it looks to me with 

6700k being 4790k's replacement

6600k being 4690k's replacement
