Intel has officially announced that they are launching the entire range of Skylake processors today. These chips range from the power-sipping 4.5W to the power-hungry 65W parts.

In terms of Skylake-S, we previously reported Intel had already launched the Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K that belong to the Skylake-K processor family. Today, the rest of the desktop were unveiled as well. With a total of 10 SKUs, including the two already released, the rest of the eight processors include four 65W (locked) processors and four 35W chips. These chips will include DDR4 memory for improved performance.

As compared to Intel's Haswell generation of processors, the Skylake-S processors will have increased CPU performance with a particular focus on energy efficiency.

The Skylake-S processor range includes:

• Intel Core i7-6700K
• Intel Core i5-6600K
• Intel Core i7-6700
• Intel Core i5-6600
• Intel Core i5-6500
• Intel Core i5-6400
• Intel Core i7-6700T
• Intel Core i5-6600T
• Intel Core i5-6500T
• Intel Core i5-6400T


Intel has also announced their mobile Skylake platform which includes Skylake-U, Skylake-Y, Skylake-H and Skylake-H Xeon. These mobile processors will also include DDR4 memory for laptops and notebooks. The ultra portable devices will include full support for Windows 10, Intel WiDi, Cortana and Intel RealSense.

All of the mobile processors have a renamed HD 500 series based integrated graphics that have full support for DirectX 12. To note, Skylake-U and Skylake-H series will come with Iris Pro graphics that includes eDRAM in order to boost overall performance.

The Y-series lineup will see an altered naming structure instead of the previous Core M. Now the processors include Core M3, Core M5 and Core M7.
