Although Intel is holding many of the architectural details regarding its latest Skylake-based, 6th generation Core processors back until the Intel Developers Forum goes down in San Francisco in a couple of weeks, the company is announcing a pair of new processors and a companion chipset today. Skylake is a tock in Intel's release cadence, which signifies a new microarchitecture, built using a mature process - in this case the same 14nm process that brought us Broadwell. The new Skylake-based Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K squarely target performance enthusiasts, and pack all of the goodness we've come to expect from Intel's unlocked K-SKUs, in addition to some things that are sure to please the overclocking crowd. But, we'll be hearing more about the rest of the Skylake line-up and other details in a few weeks.
