Intel Z170 '100-Series' Chipsets Ready for Rollout by AIBs - Awaiting Skylake Processors' Launch
The word on the rumor mill (via bitsandchips.information technology) is that AIBs have been all done with the 100 series chipset for quite some fourth dimension now and are actually waiting for Intel to initiate the ringlet out. Intel has been following its staggered launch stratagem and Skylake processors are expected in a few months this year. We have already seen completed 100-Series boards from AsRock so this leak isn't actually that surprising.
AIBs accept 100 Serial Motherboards ready to rollout - Waiting for compatible processors
The 100-Serial chipsets will be separated into the Q170 and Q150 motherboards for the corporate spectrum, B150 Motherboards for the business spectrum, Z170 and H170 for the consumer spectrum and H110 for the value spectrum. All chipsets volition support Skylake and will feature LGA 1151 socket. Intel Skylake processors will be based on the 14nm process and are slated to exist the successor to Broadwell-K (something that might or might not make it to the market).
Intel'due south desktop spectrum has undergone delay after delay and Skylake is poised to be the next major update. Even idea Skylake-S is going to consist of multiplier locked processors, there are reports that Skylake will contain something brand new and exciting. 14nm has proven to exist a very troublesome node for Intel because we have still to see Broadwell-K enter the market either, something that was supposed to happen before Skylake-Due south. Its absence could signal an architectural jump from Intel among other things. Here are the platform comparison charts for Skylake:
