Rumor: Intel Likely To Delay 14nm Skylake Desktop Processors

Digitimes is reporting that Intel might be pushing back the release of its 14nm Skylake desktop processors along with the associated Intel 100-series of chipsets that are needed for motherboard vendors to build platforms for the upcoming processor. Leaked roadmaps showed that Intel was originally planning on releasing the processors around the time of Computex 2015. Digitimes believes that Intel will be pushing off the launch until the end of August and PC makers will not be able to show off Skylake at Computex! Many expected this to happen as Skylake was going to seriously overlap with Broadwell desktop processor models, but the enthusiast community will be disappointed! The good news is that DDR4 prices will be lower by the time Skylake finally makes its appearance!
