Due to certain reasons the release of desktop processors Broadwell moved almost a year, and give the appearance of progress in this segment, Intel tried using solutions Haswell Refresh.
Thus, processors Skylake-S, desktop versions of processors with a new microarchitecture, will arrive at the same time with the desktop versions Broadwell - in the second quarter of 2015. Such a scenario is not typical behavior for Intel, although the processors of the old and the new generation is usually a time coexist in the market.
Skylake desktop processors will have a TDP of 35-95 watts and demand new motherboards based on chipset 100 series with socket LGA 1151. Fudzilla also writes about the appearance of support RAM DDR3L / DDR4, hardware acceleration and a number of other proprietary technology. It is also said that Intel may refuse the use of the built-in processor voltage regulator (FIVR, Fully integrated voltage regulator), which was one of the major innovations of Haswell. The reasons for this decision are still unknown.
