The rumor that Intel would want to launch an even higher end variant of its Core processor family has been floating around for many years. It appears that we might've just gotten a glimpse at the potential lineup of next-gen Intel processors running on the LGA-2066 architecture.

According to a post on the Anandtech forums, the next generation of enthusiast-grade processors from Intel, codenamed Basin Falls, is said to have both Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X variants, with Kaby Lake-X being the "lower end" of the spectrum. If the provided image is to be believed, the lineup looks like this:

Here it is in a separate table, in case the image is difficult to understand:
