Asian tech site BenchLife published what it claims to be the launch dates of Intel's Skylake platform. If the information is correct, Intel may launch the first Skylake-S desktop processors around its IDF in San Francisco (August 18-20), with mobile versions to follow in September and high-end laptop chips around October-November:

The first "Skylake" products to hit the market will be desktop "Skylake-S" chips for enthusiasts, the Core i7-6700K and the Core i5-6600K, according to a timetable published by BenchLife web-site. The new quad-core processors with unlocked multiplier could hit the market already in August.

The ready to ship milestone for low-power Core M "Skylake-Y" as well as mainstream and high-performance mobile Core i-series "Skylake-U" and "Skylake-H" is scheduled on September, 2015.

Highest-performing laptop chips as well as the first Xeon processors for single-socket servers featuring "Skylake" microarchitecture will arrive in October or November. Intel will also update the mobile CPU lineups in January, 2016, with improved models.
