Nope it will have to take its sweet time regardless.. For sure not 6 months

Don't think so either. After all, why would Intel rush out Skylake only 6 months after the release of Broadwell? It's not like they have any competition with these CPUs that could force them to do that, they will take their sweet time.

Intel has stated that skylake is still on the original schedule, i.e., its not late. So the longer Broadwell is delayed the shorter its lifespan is going to be.

Skylake is projected to be released in 2015

Delays in Intel’s production of the upcoming Broadwell chip won’t push back its successor, Skylake, still expected next year.

All things being equal that does mean that Broadwell will have an abbreviated lifespan.
