Aimed at notebooks, tablets and fanless desktops
While Intel has just launched its first 14nm Skylake-S desktop parts, we now get a full details regarding Intel's upcoming Skylake-U low-power CPU lineup.
Based on 14nm manufacturing process and Skylake architecture, the entire lineup is based on dual-core CPUs that will be available in five different categories, including Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium and Celeron, with TDP ranging from 7.5W to 15W.
The list starts off with two Core i7 parts, the Core i7-6600U and the Core i7-6500U. These dual-core high-end low-power parts will both support HyperThreading, pack 4MB of L3 cache, have Intel HD Graphics 520 clocked at 300MHz base and 1050MHz Turbo clock, and support up to DDR4/DDR3L 1866 memory. The Core i7-6600U is clocked at 2.6GHz base clock with maximum Turbo of 3.4GHz. The Core i7-6500U ends up at slightly slower 2.5GHz base and 3.1GHz maximum Turbo clock.
The Core i5 Skylake-U lineup also has two parts with pretty much similar specifications, just at lower clocks. Based on the Core i5-6300U and the Core i5-6200U, these dual-core chips both have HyperThreading support, pack 3MB of L3 cache, have same Intel HD Graphics 520 clocked at 300/1000MHz and the same DDR4/DDR3L 1866 memory support. The Core i5-6300U works at 2.4GHz base clock with 3.0GHz maximum Turbo while the Core i5-6200U works at 2.3GHz base clock and 2.8GHz maximum Turbo clock.
The Core i3 lineup has a single CPU, the Core i3-6100U. It is also a dual-core chip with HyperThreading, packs 3MB of L3 cache and has the same Intel HD Graphics 520 clocked at 300/1000MHz as the Core i5 lineup. It also has the same DDR4/DDR3L 1866 memory support but works at 2.3GHz and comes without Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.
The lower-end lineup includes a single dual-core Pentium and two dual-core Celeron parts, the Pentium 4405U and the Celeron 3955U and 3855U. The Pentium 4405U has HyperThreading support, packs 2MB of L3 cache and works at 2.1GHz base CPU clock. It comes with Intel HD Graphics 510 clocked at 300/950MHz and only has DDR3L-1866 memory support.
The two Celeron dual-core Skylake-U parts both lack HyperThreading support, also pack 2MB of L3 cache, and work at 2.0GHz and 1.6GHz base CPU clocks. Both also only support DDR3L-1866 memory and come with Intel HD Graphics 510 clocked at slightly lower 300/900MHz.
According to Fanlesstech.com, where the slide was published, some of these parts will launch by the end of this year while some will be pushed back to 2016.
