Just like Broadwell was scheduled for the first half of 2014?

  I dont know why you are being downvoted, but it is a valid questions. Broadwell was delayed for half a year and is still not widely available. Macbooks (which are a pretty important predictor of demand) are not going to have Broadwells till 2015 [1], so the question is if Intel is going to have Broadwell at all or skip directly to SkyLake. Plus, Broadwell was delayed because of manufacturing yield issues... so unless that is cleared up, SkyLake will be similarly affected.

    As I understand it, the issues are fundamental to the 14nm process — and one might expect once they can manufacture 14nm Broadwell parts with reasonable yields, they will be able to manufacture 14nm Skylake parts with reasonable yields. Last I heard the plan was for Broadwell to be available for something like six months only.

    They announced a while ago that Broadwell's delay will not affect the scheduling of Skylake. They both use the same 14nm manufacturing process, so if Intel has fixed the issues with Broadwell, everything makes sense.
