In 2015, Intel will release Broadwell desktop processors in the second quarter, this seems to be a non-K series processors, but 65 W and "unlocked" option seems to Z97 platform and playable little bit DDR3 memory sex in. (???)

Skylake-S have a K series, 65W, and 35W 95W processor, but has yet to have the exact processor model. Remember Skylake-S can support DDR3L and DDR4 memory, as to how to play, depending on the motherboard factory, but we will not recommend a DDR3L Gaosi themselves.

For me I need 8GB ram, so if I get faster ram I'd get a new MB too, and so a socket 1150 and so a new CPU too...........what else would I waste my money on, I don't have a GF
Go straight to a 5820k would be my suggestion.

Hmm are Skylake-S are going into laptops?

Nope, Skylake-H is the one to look for for Macbook Pro's and high performance laptops.

EDIT: Don't have a desktop now.
Boardwell is not going to be anything special compared to Haswell, just mostly GPU performance boost and some efficiency boosts. nearly the same IPC so it wont matter for a gaming computer. The real thing to look for would be Skylake, as it is supposed to have some new instruction sets, *might* overclock better with the removal of the integrated voltage regulators, and is supposed to support both DDR3 and DDR4 which makes upgrade compatibility look nice.

I'm seeing Skylake in 3rd quarter which means July to September correct? I'm getting confused by the release table in OP though. A non-unlocked, non-desktop Skylake through 3rd quarter with Broadwell E being the top tier unlocked desktop processor going all the way into 2016?

I need to upgrade soon and I don't want to waste an upgrade period on old DDR3 when there is an option for new chipset and DDR4 support. This sucks...

Edit: Didn't look closely enough... or read initially. Sorry, just instinctively scoured the chart looking for Skylake-K before anything else, but I'm confused with the way they market Broadwell as unlocked and Skylake-K being under the Skylake-S umbrella. So Skylake-K is coming in 2015 after all? Alongside Broadwell-K? So weird...

Im confused about this as well. Are there going to be both broadwell-K and skylake-K processors sold side by side? It doesn't make sense.

Given what we were previously led to believe, no it might not. But... I'm not complaining, would love to have Skylake-K this summer. Maybe Intel have stopped pushing the arbitrary market segmentation any further and realized overclockers want Skylake instead of Broadwell and will wait for it unless already on Z97 or something... or so I hope.

I wonder if Intel knows just how many of us are waiting for unlocked Skylake parts

I would bet that a large number of 2500K and 2600K owners are ready to upgrade. I know I am.

It sure would be nice to have an i7 Skylake-K, a Z107 board and DDR4 by fall 2015.

Broadwell is 65W, Skylake-K is up to 95W.

Skylake-K will be the real high-end part. Broadwell will remain "mainstream" quad-core.

Perhaps Intel just wants to tweak the silicon and fabs for BW-E.

You're right, that's what the image shows. I wonder why they wouldn't skip BW-E as well and head straight for Skylake-E in 2016.

SHA instruction sets, nothing pretty much anyone here will find advantageous I suppose.

FIVR going bye bye will lower temps, making the CPUs less hot slag, especially if they continue to not use crap TIMs. So, overclocking almost assuredly will be better again.
