What comes after X99?

'Skylake-E' will most likely be on a different chipset from X99 -- considering 'Skylake' changed over to LGA 1151 (Z170).
What is already in the market usually gives some hints away; you just need to observe, and put the pieces of puzzles together.
If you look at the 'Haswell' and 'Broadwell' architecture, both "mainstream" variants worked on the existing LGA 1150 (Z97) platform.
It wasn't much of a surprise 'Haswell-E' and 'Broadwell-E' both worked on LGA 2011-3 (X99).
Look back a little bit further.
'Sandy Bridge' and 'Ivy Bridge' both used the LGA 1155 socket.
You could use both on either Z68 or Z77.
'Sandy Bridge-E' and 'Ivy Bridge-E' both ran on the original LGA 2011 (X79).
You gotta follow Intel's "Tick-Tock" rhythm.
