Skylake soon, iMacs soon?

The 95w chips are coming first -- likely at Gamescon in August according to WCCF sources.

The 65w chips that the iMac will likely use will come a little later -- September according to the most recent rumor I can find.

My guess is we'll see the update in October if the 65w chips are announced in September.

 

Making it 25 months between updates for the poor 21" model.

 

Which doesn't even have Thunderbolt 2 at this point. Kind of disappointing if that's the size you need honestly.

 

Agreed. I know Intel has been slow with the chips, but they could've done new GPUs, fusion drive standard, updated ports, or at least a price drop so we aren't paying the same price as when these were new 2 years ago.

Agreed I guess they are putting all their chips on the revamped skylake models

 

Beyond Skylake, I just read about Kaby Lake, which is suppose to come after it rather than Cannonlake. Apparently reality is setting in over at Intel and they've finally made a change to the tick tock drumbeat. I'll bet they drop all references to tick tock soon.

Yea but look on the bright side, Apple are still charging top dollar for old kit.
