Unfortunately, not yet....

Even if installed with rpm -Uvh --nodeps installation, it does not operate correctly, probable SSE3 e.t.c. instruction set problem....

If you have the skype repo installed then running yum install skypeforlinux-5.5.0.1-1 should work.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Up to now, yes it works...

"RHEL7 is not officially supported distribution, which means we cannot guarantee Skype will work there.
However, we will take a look at it ASAP and try to resolve the issue for you, so you can keep using the client.
Stay tuned for the upcoming updates :-)
Kind regards,

"8.11.76.3-1 from skype-unstable installs fine and appears to work correctly. Thanks for fixing this.
Excellent!
Thank you for letting us know.
Kind regards,
JonasT"

I downloaded it from https://www.skype.com/en/insider/ .... or you may use the unstable repository https://repo.skype.com/rpm/unstable/

Everything installs and operates Ok...

Installs and works for me too. Good to see they took notice and fixed it.
