A new leaked roadmap shows that Intel plans to release its first 10nm Cannonlake CPUs sometime around the second and third quarter next year.

If the slide leaked by Finnish site is to be believed, Intel plans to have first 10nm Cannonlake CPUs, Cannonlake-U and Cannonlake-Y ready by Q2 2016, followed by Cannonlake-based Core M CPUs in Q4 2016. While these mobile low-power chips aimed at notebooks, tablets and AiO systems, and are less interesting to enthusiasts, they show that we might see desktop Cannonlake-based 10nm chips in 2017.

In case you missed it earlier, 10nm Cannonlake represents "tick" in Intel's manufacturing plan and it will not bring any significant architecture changes compared to Skylake chips, but rather just a new manufacturing process.

The roadmap also reveals that we should see Skylake-refresh chips as well as Skylake-based High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform in Q3 2016.

The first Skylake-S desktop CPUs are expected to show up at Computex 2015 show early next month and hopefully we will see them on retail/e-tail shelves soon.
