Sources in the Taiwanese motherboard industry told DigiTimes that Intel has delayed the launch of its 14nm Skylake deskto pprocessors and the 100-series chipsets to the end of August. Originally, the chip giant planned to reveal the platform in the second quarter of this year but it's speculated that it has been delayed to avoid overlapping sales with previous platforms.
The delay will affect PC makers' production and shipment plans for Haswell Refresh and Broadwell-U series products and may also delay the development of Broadwell models with a TDP of 65W, the sources noted.

PC makers will also not be able to unveil Skylake-based models during the upcoming Computex 2015 to be held in June in Taipei, thereby affecting PC sales in the second haft of 2015, said motherboard makers.
