Apple seeded a fourth Beta (OS X 10.11.1) to Developers and Public Beta tester, and this update (Build 15B38b) adds support for Intel Skylake processors. Here are the used board-id/model combinations that you may find interesting:
board-id: Mac-65CE76090165799A – Model: iMac17,1 (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) / Core i7 4.0GHz
board-id: Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D – Model: iMac17,1 (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) / Core i5 3.3GHz
board-id: Mac-DB15BD556843C820 – Model: iMac17,1 (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) / Core i5 3.2GHz
Edit: iMac16,x model/board-id’s removed (Broadwell models).
Kernel support for Skylake is checked like so:
ffffff80003c477c cmpl $0x5e, %eax ffffff80003c477f jne 0xffffff80003c47b1 ffffff80003c4781 jmp 0xffffff80003c47a0 ../.. ffffff80003c479b cmpl $0x4e, %eax ffffff80003c479e jne 0xffffff80003c47b1 ffffff80003c47a0 movl $0x37fc219f, %ebx ## imm = 0x37FC219F // CPUFAMILY_INTEL_SKYLAKE
The previously missing power management files are now also there:
/S*/L*/E*/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/C*/P*/X86PlatformPlugin.kext/C*/Resources
Edit: Apple apparently started to use _CSS and _PSS instead of the previously used Apple specific ACSS and APSS. About time.
More importantly. There are new kexts added for graphics support:
AppleIntelSKLGraphics.kext
AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext
AppleIntelSKLGraphicsGLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelSKLGraphicsMTLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelSKLGraphicsVADriver.bundle
AppleIntelSKLGraphicsVAME.bundle
Intel10SeriesAHCI support has also been added:
And here are some interesting snippets that I added to RevoBoot:

// Intel Core i5-5575R @ 2.8 GHz & Intel Core i5-5675R @ 3.1 GHz

Yesterday I added two new models to my blog article about Apple Serial Numbers Ending With G000-GZZZ and today Apple published a lot more so now we have 24 new iMac models listed:
GF1J – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GF1K – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GF1L – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GF1M – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GG77 – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GG7D – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GG7G – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GG79 – iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
GG7C – iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)

Note: The Intel i5 (1,6HGz, 2.8GHz and 3.1GHz) are Broadwell based.
Now you have (almost) everything to setup your Intel Skylake based Hackintosh 😉
Update I renamed AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.sh to AppleIntelGraphicsFramebuffer.sh and added support for the Intel Skylake processor graphics – new version soon the be released – and here is some of the output.

Edit: The IOPCIPrimaryMatch list in AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext/C*/Info.plist does not include 0x191b.
Edit-2: The following frame buffer data is currently still inactive:
0x19020001 – Skylake Desktop GT1
0x19170001 – Skylake Desktop GT1.5
0x19120001 – Skylake Desktop GT2 (duplicated/used twice)
0x19320001 – Skylake Desktop GT4
None of these will work so there is no point of using them. Also note that 0x19120001 is used twice and I changed the second one into 0x19120003 and used it during my test runs, but whatever I did, my monitor always showed up on port 6. I can change the port number, and all the rest of the values, but I can’t seem to change the third port without breaking stuff. Pretty weird.
Pike's Universum 
Great news Pike
On which chipset z170?
hey Pike, any chance of you uploading the power management kexts to support skylake for me/others ? I intend to have it installed on my i7-6700k but have no mac around (I’ll have these files replace the one from 10.11 usb installer and that should allow installation)
I cannot upload Apple Copyright material, but what you can do is use the CatalogURL’s and download the package. Then you can extract everything you need.
Vlad wich mainboard have you =
@magnifico1966, my system is like: i7-6700k, Asus Z170 Pro Gaming, Asus GTX 970 OC Strix (I will hackintosh this baby at the end of the week – no time until then, working too much)
my computer is same with yours
Hi Piker, i’m trying to boot El Capitan on my Z170A+6600k i5 and it shows “waiting for root device”… What you think i need to do in order to get it working?
thanks in advance man.
Is that during the installation process or a regular boot, after the installation/setup was done succesfully?
It’s when i try to boot it to the installation process, someone from another forum said that i need :
a. PCI to USB 2.0 (keyboard, mouse and USB installer are plugged in to this)
b. PCIe to Sata 3 (Your System harddrive must be plugged in to this)
What you think of this? is there another way to do it? Faking ID the sata/USB 2.0 ports?
I don’t see the problem. I mean. Have a look at the new 21.5 inch iMac which comes with a plain ordinary 2.5 inch SATA HDD.
Alright man, let me know anything about it, if there a possible solution besides the PCI adapters… I would apreciatte it man.
Nothing yet about this!?
I can’t really wait D:
Nope. Sorry. Hey. If someone would carry some of the load of my shoulders… then I would have some time to document my findings, but that is not going to happen so… hang in.
I think it was USB Problem (you need PCI to USB 2.0) after that you still cannot activate internal sata 😦 (unknown for harddrive)
