Rumors and details concerning Intel's upcoming Skylake series of processors has slowly been starting to trickle out, with the Haswell successors on the way soon. There have been shots of the new Intel Z170 motherboards, which are expected to arrive in September to coincide with the processor launch, and then two different roadmaps showing a quarter three launch. Now we have yet another roadmap, and once again all things point towards September. This new roadmap suggests that Intel will officially announce the Skylake series at IDF15 in San Francisco, which is set for August 18 to 20. A fitting time for a new CPU series to be announced, and then a month later we can all get our hands on whatever chip suits our needs.

The Skylake series is composed of the Skylake-S, -H, -U, and -Y, with the desktop series being Skylake-S. The Core i5-6600K and Core i7-6700K should be the two people are going to be gunning for to replace their 4770K, 2550K, or whatever chip they may have. The Skylake-H, -U, and -Y series are all aimed at the mobile side of things, with the Skylake-H the high-performance laptop CPUs, the Skylake-U the mid-range laptop replacement, and the Skylake-Y the low-power replacement for the Core M series.

There's not much a whole lot of time remaining before the Intel Skylake processors arrive, and you can expect to find full coverage of their announcement, as well as their eventual review, right here at OCC.
