The owners of motherboards based on Intel X99 chipset after the announcement of Broadwell-E processors remain in confused feelings. On one hand, the new processors have the performance of LGA 2011-3 and perfectly suited to the existing motherboards. Onthe other hand, the frequency potential of processors Broadwell-E impressed few people , and the price for an older model Core i7-6950X famously stepped over the mark of $ 1,700.
According to previously published data , in the case of processors Skylake-X will not have to suffer. They will get a new design concept Socket R4 and require new motherboards. In the desktop segment, , will be used pursuant to LGA 2066. In other words, Skylake-X processors will have 55 contacts more than their predecessors. These processors should be available in the second quarter next year.
Recall that the processors Kaby Lake-X also involve the design concept , but will be offered only in models with the number of cores is more than four pieces. Skylake-X will offer six to ten cores Kaby Lake-X in the same design concept could be for someone the first step to building a productive system with LGA 2066.
