In addition to the rest of the Skylake-S desktop CPUs, Intel also unveiled the rest of the 14nm 6th generation Core Skylake lineup, including mobile Skylake-H, Skylake-H Xeon CPUs and Skylake-U SKUs.

According to Intel, the new Skylake architecture will allow notebooks to achieve up to 2.5x faster performance, 3x longer battery life and 30x better 3D graphics performance compared to what you would get on a 5-year-old notebook. In addition to bringing DDR4 memory to notebooks, these will also feature full support for Windows 10 OS as well as features like Intel WiDi, True Key, Intel RealSense and Cortana support.




The Skylake-U and Skylake-H series will also feature Intel's Iris Pro graphics core with eDRAM.

The lineup starts with new Intel Skylake-H Xeon lineup which include Xeon E3-1500MN V5 CPUs. While Intel did not specifically mention any specific details regarding those workstation notebook CPUs but according to earlier details, we will be looking at three SKUs, Xeon E3-15xxM V5 high-end CPU, a quad-core CPU with GT4e Iris Pro IGP with 128MB L4 eDRAM cache as well as The Xeon E3-1505M v5, an another quad-core part with GT2 HD 530 IGP and Xeon E3-1505L v5 SKU.




The rest of the Skylake-H lineup include six 45W Core Core H-series CPUs aimed at thin clamshell notebooks and large-screen notebooks as well as a single Core H-series unlocked mobile K-series CPU for enthusiast notebooks. The top of the line is the Core i7-6820HQ, a quad-core CPU with base frequency of 2.9GHz and maximum Turbo of 3.8GHz, Intel HD Graphics 530 and 8MB of L3 cache. What is quite interesting is that Intel actually launched a single K-series Core H-series CPU as well, which will also be a quad-core design, with Hyper-Threading support, base clock of 2.7GHz, maximum Turbo of 3.6GHz, Intel HD Graphics 530 and 8MB of L3 cache. There are plenty of players that have already announced gaming and enthusiast oriented notebooks so we are quite sure some will use the Core i7-6820HK unlocked CPU.




The rest of the lineup includes two Core i5 parts, the Core i5-6440QH and the Core i5-6300HQ, both quad-core parts lacking Hyper-Threading, featuring Intel HD Graphics 530 and 6MB of cache. Last on the list is the Core i3-6100H, a dual-core part with Hyper-Threading, base clock of 2.7GHz, featuring 3MB of L3 cache and same Intel HD Graphics 530 IGP. The Intel Core H-series will also include to Celeron dual-core parts that will be detailed later.

In addition to the Skylake-H CPUs, Intel has also launched a total of ten 15W and four 28W Intel Skylake Core U-series for 2-in-1 convertibles and ultra-thin notebooks. The 15W TDP Skylake-U lineup will include four Core i7 parts, four Core i5-series, single Core i3 and single Pentium SKU. The entire lineup are dual-core chips with enabled Hyper-Threading support, clock ranging from 2.6GHz down to 1.8GHz and with L3 cache ranging from 4MB, down to 2MB. As you can see from the table below, most will use Intel Iris 540 IGP, while certain chips will also use Intel HD 520 and HD 510 IGP.




Intel has also launched four 28W Skylake Core U-series chips, including single Core i7, two Core i5 and single Core i3 SKU. All four will also feature a dual-core design with enabled Hyper-Threading support, frequency ranging from 3.3GHz down to 2.7GHz, either 4MB or 3MB of cache, depending on the SKU and Intel Iris 550 Graphics.




Intel has launched quite an extensive mobile lineup and it will be quite hard to keep track but in general, a higher number should get you a better processor, but it never hurts to check out a few reviews or a full specification table.
