[IT World] Intel cancels Broadwell-C **Article corrected to say it meant Skylake-C**

[dark zero]

So... Skylake C are replaced by Kabylake C... And since AMD is dead.. Oh boy.. The Death of the PC era is more notable than ever...

This rumor is confirmed false, debunked.

As I mentioned, Intel could have just ended wafer production and will discontinue it for real once the chips in flight are completed and sent out to the market. But it also means no Skylake-C either.The other thing people should get out of this is that there isn't going to be anything noticeably better than Skylake-K in the price range until the end of 2017. So buy now if you want... or wait until Cannonlake. And that's if Canonlake does get a socket release.

Who says Skylake-C is cancelled? The same one that couldnt get Broadwell-C or EDRAM/PS4/Xbox One correct?

This forum should be smarter than that.

I do remember seeing it considered conditional on one of the other leaked sheets. Which given the poor yield makes it an easy call.

Sure it wasnt the 15W GT3e models that will now be a reality?

I'd have to think the EDRAM is easy to make so I wouldn't think the 15W GT3e models would have any effect on Skylake-C.

It was.
Only thing we got about LGA 4C+GT4e is this piece from AnandTech's article:

However, we were told that a quad core desktop part with eDRAM (either 4+2e or 4+4e) is currently not POR, which means ‘plan of record’. To avoid confusion, because technically a 3+2 is not on their ‘plan of record), having been mentioned as not POR means means that Intel has looked at it as an option but at this time has not decided to release it at this time - if they ever will is another question to ask Intel.

And it doesn't mean much because apparently they weren't sure about launching 2C+GT3e 'U' 15W/28W models just a few months ago either.

Also the original LGA 4C+GT4e leak puts it in the Kaby Lake family of processors.
