Skylake (SKL) Client Configuration is Intel's successor to Broadwell, a 14 nm

process microarchitecture for mainstream workstations, desktops, and mobile devices.

Skylake succeeded the short-lived Broadwell which experienced severe delays. Skylake
is the "Architecture" phase as part of Intel's PAO model. The microarchitecture was
developed by Intel's R&D center in Haifa, Israel.

For desktop and mobile, Skylake is branded as 6th Generation Intel Core i3, Core i5,
Core i7 processors. For workstations it's branded as Xeon E3 v5.

a result of compatible adjacent µOps may be merged into a single µOp. Push and pops
as well as call and return are also handled at this stage. 4 instructions, but with the aid of
the macro-fusion, up to 5 instructions can be decoded each cycle.

sors expose QPI, other "mainstream" Nehalem desktop and mobile processors intended
for single-socket boards (e.g. LGA 1156 Core i3, Core i5, and other Core i7 processors
from the Lynnfield/Clarksfield and successor families) do not expose QPI externally,
because these processors are not intended to participate in multi-socket systems.
However, QPI is used internally on these chips to communicate with the "uncore",
which is part of the chip containing memory controllers, CPU-side PCI Express and
GPU, if present; the uncore may or may not be on the same die as the CPU core, for
instance it is on a separate die in the Westmere-

based Clarkdale/Arrandale.[12][13][14][15]:3 These post-2009 single-socket chips

communicate externally via the slower DMI and PCI Express interfaces, because the
functions of the traditional northbridge are actually integrated into these processors,
starting with Lynnfield, Clarksfield, Clarkdale and Arrandale; thus, there is no need to
incur the expense of exposing the (former) front-side bus interface via the processor
socket.[16] Although the core–uncore QPI link is not present in desktop and mobile
Sandy Bridge processors (as it was on Clarkdale, for example), the internal ring
interconnect between on-die cores is also based on the principles behind QPI, at least as
far as cache coherency is concerned.[15]:10
