Broadwell-E Specifications Leak - 10-Cores and 20-Threads

Well... with Vulkan supposedly being released around the same time, most games should be able to take better advantage of the increased parallelism this CPU provides, and just allow them to take advantage of the parallelism that modern CPU's provide, so it might not be a bad idea for gamers to begin investing in more highly parallel CPU's. I currently only have a 5820k in my system and for the work loads I'm regularly churning on, being able to have 20 threads should be a major advantage.
 
Is there any news yet on PCI-E Express Lane numbers for the chips? i.e. Is it going to be more than the 28 on the 5820K? From the Haswell-E for the lowest of the Broadwell-E chips?
