This matches my belief as well. It's currently scheduled for 2017, but since it's slipped once already and since Intel isn't facing a lot of high end competition, who knows what will actually happen. The naming scheme is terrible, because although "Skylake Xeon" is what many sources are referring to, this turns out not to mean all chips from the Skylake Generation that are marketed as Xeon. Rather, it means something like "Skylake that's actually designed for servers" rather "Current Skylake for which we didn't disable ECC". So despite what others are reporting, I probably should have said that AVX512 is expected to come with "Skylake Purley", which is expected to be marketed as "Skylake Xeon" for the server market: http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-purley-platform-upto-28-cores-56-threads/ http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-purley-platform-upto-28-co...
