Yep, Intel isn't fooling around with Skylake delays, even if it means casting a shadow over Broadwell. But the two can still coexist, if Skylake needs a new socket while Broadwell serves those on the current socket.
So is skylake worth the hype? According to this, I'd say yeah, if this is right it looks like the biggest IPC gain in a long, long time. Even more exciting for integrated graphics, if Broadwell is 20% over Haswell, and Skylake is 50% over Broadwell.

VR-Zone's Chinese alter-ego published the graphic, which schedules unlocked Broadwell chips for mid-Q2. The roadmap doesn't mention Broadwell-K specifically, but it does refer to unlocked chips with an LGA package and 65W thermal envelope.
If the leak is accurate, the next K-series parts will be based on Skylake-S silicon. They're slated for the end of Q2, shortly after Broadwell hits the desktop. These unlocked chips will have 95W thermal envelopes, according to the roadmap, and they'll be joined by non-K variants with 65W and 35W TDPs. Broadwell and Skylake should be able to coexist on the desktop, since the former will work in existing 9-series motherboards, while the latter will presumably require a new chipset.

The CPU arithmetic score is actually quite good, nearly matching the i7 4810MQ which has a base clock of 2.8Ghz. Suggesting that intel will likely introduce worthwhile IPC improvements of roughly 20% with Skylake over Haswell.
http://www.kitguru.net/components/g...s-performance-of-skylake-gpus-by-50-per-cent/As reported previously, the Broadwell breed of central processing units (CPUs) will boost the maximum amount of execution units (EUs) within the most powerful version of their integrated graphics processors (IGPs) to 48 units, a 20 per cent increase compared to the best IGP inside the Haswell CPUs. Apparently, the Skylake processors will improve performance of the integrated GPUs even more significantly. According to a report from CPU World, the best IGP inside the Skylake (the GPU is currently known under the GT4 moniker, but its commercial name will likely be the Iris Pro) will feature 72 execution units, 50 per cent more than the amount of graphics processing EUs inside the predecessor.
