A slide has leaked describing Intel’s new generation of processors, targetted for later this year.

Based on the LGA2066 socket, the new platform will support DDR4 memory and include six, eight and ten core CPU.

It will apparently include both lower-end Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X variants and be code-named Basin Falls.

Reportedly it will include a new Core i9 variant in both versions featuring 10-12 cores and even more PCIe lanes.
