In June, we presented a range of models for future generations of Intel mobile processors Skylake. Just as in the case of processors on Haswell and Broadwell, Skylake processors are divided into efficient models with the letter H, on the model with the letter U for thin and ultra-thin notebooks and models with the letter Y to convertible laptops and tablets with passive cooling. In each category, the company will release 4 to 15 models, which will get different number of cores, clock speed, cache size, features graphics core TDP value and support a set of technologies Intel vPro.
So Processors Skylake Y will be promoted under the brand name "Core M". It will be dual-core solutions with support for Hyper-Threaded and integrated graphics class GT2. The models will have 4 MB of L3 cache and support a set of technologies vPro, the rest will be held on 3 MB L3 and come out without the support vPro. In this case, all models Skylake Y will support technology Turbo Boost.
Processors Skylake U will be the base for models in the Core, Pentium and Celeron. All models - dual core with a TDP of 15 watts and 28 watts. Model lines Core i5 and Core i7 processors with a TDP of 15 watts will be armed with L3 cache volume, respectively, 3 MB and 4 MB. As Core i5, and Core i7 get GT2 class schedule or GT3e with mandatory support for Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost. Certain models will support the technology Intel vPro. Core i5s with a TDP of 28 watts will get graphics GT3e, and the 28-watt model Core i7s - GT3. Core i3 processors with 15W TPD will carry video GT2 m 3 MB L3, while the 28-watt Core i3 will have integrated graphics class GT3e. As for the model lines Pentium and Celeron, they will be deprived of Hyper-Threading support, and integrated graphics to reduce class GT1. L3 memory capacity will also be reduced - up to 2 MB.
Model lines Skylake H - Core i5 and i7 - will be the only quad in the generation Skylake. In the Mass the TDP value will be equal to 45 W, although some models will be characterized by the value of 35 watts.
