Intel has released their Broadwell E processors as follows
i7 6950X (10 cores)
i7 6900K (8 cores)
i7 6850K (6 cores)
i7 6800K (6 cores)
Comprehensive review http://www.anandtech.com/show/10337...x-6900k-6850k-and-6800k-tested-up-to-10-cores
Intel is differentiating the 6800K and 6850K yet again with PCIe lanes (28 vs 40), be aware of this when purchasing.
Note the pricing too. The i7 6950X is around £1380 (OEM) and the 6900K OEM is £10 cheaper than the 5960X. But performance gains are marginal. If you're on haswell E I see little point in upgrading.
These CPUs have native 2400MHz DDR4 support and TBM3.0, more can be read on this feature in the article above.
The X99 chipset seems to be starting to lack features of the consumer grade Skylake platform. It's a choice between raw compute power or features and gaming performance really.
