However, rumor has it that supplies will only last for a few days, running dry before the end of launch week. Intel says its transition to 10nm chips will now come later than expected, pushed back to the second half of 2017 when a new architecture codenamed Cannonlake will arrive.Īs we understand it, this is a hard launch and Skylake processors should be available immediately, at least the chips being announced anyway. Notably, the usual "tick-tock" cycle will be broken in 2016 with a third 14nm part known as Kaby Lake. Whereas Broadwell was a 'tick' in Intel's "tick-tock" manufacturing and design model, offering a die shrink along a few minor tweaks, Skylake is a 'tock' which means the redesign should provide greater CPU and GPU performance with reduced power consumption, while remaining on the same 14nm manufacturing process as Broadwell. Intel's transition to the 14nm node was difficult and as a result Broadwell processors were delayed to the point where they practically don't exist in the retail market.Įven as I write this it's extremely difficult to purchase the Core i7-5775C, which is all the more surprising given what I am writing about: today marks the real arrival of Intel's 14nm desktop processors and they aren't codenamed Broadwell, but rather Skylake. ![]() Last month we finally got our first look at Intel's latest 14nm technology for desktop computers when we reviewed the Core i7-5775C, codenamed Broadwell.
