Broadwell-E debut at Computex (June, 2016)?

Considering that there will be a 10 core / 20 threaded version that should take the $1099 price point the 8/16 core version I would expect to be less than $800 US.

...I wouldn't take a bet in Intel pricing it a dollar under $900 with the "new" 10 core model coming in at $1000~1200...- Joined

I'm more interested in if there will be a X99 refresh.

I'm pretty sure Broadwell-E will use the same socket, but the Xeon E5 V4 chips WON'T be compatible with X99 because reasons.

The successor to X99 wont appear until Skylake-e, no?

I know it will be the same socket, I'm wondering if we'll see the X99 chipset refreshed with new and added features.
Nope, I'm not waiting around to spend 1000 dollars for a 10% IPC improvement when most games still can't even use 8 threads (let alone MMO's like GW2, ugh). I just ordered a E5-1650 V2 to replace my 3930K and it should be in in a week or so. 370 dollars, at least 200 of which I can recoup by selling my 3930K.
I'm betting it will over clock better than my 3930K as well due to it being a higher silicon quality. That and it has true PCIE 3.0, a higher base clock to start with, a slightly higher Tjmax, and more cache to offset the cost of the upgrade.
All for ~170 dollars, assuming I can only get 200 for my 3930K that is.
If Intel releases a '6900k" it won't be an 8c/16t CPU, and it sure as hell won't be based on Broadwell / Broadwell-E. There are already Broadwell CPUs on that platform anyway. They are still limited to 4c/8t.
Keep dreaming
Why would you think Intel would even release anything above a quad core on LGA1151 anytime soon?
I doubt it.
Correct. That's the earliest we will see a successor to X99.

I meant to quote the statement above that (from drescherjm) where he was discussing the possibility of Intel reducing the price of the 8c/16t from their current $999 spot.
Not quite as sure as the sun will rise, but about the level of bears in the woods:
Broadwell-E is a drop-in upgrade on non-crap X99 boards and only requires a bios update.
There will be "new" X99 aka C612 motherboards being pimped out by the usual suspects per normal. (bullet point! extra useless feature! USB 3.1.1.2.9c! NEW! SHINY!)
Skylake-E is obviously 2017, and going by the current trend of slipping dates, 'refreshes' and 'bonus ticks' etc, probably later than people are hoping.
