Great news to see the new 14nm process is straight out of the gate at 4Ghz baseclock. Intel's 22nm took quite a long time to get to that speed with Haswell.

Looking forward to seeing the performance reviews - lets hope the rumoured 15-20% performance increase over Hawell is true!

Either way, nice new platform, DDR4, much more PCI-E bandwitdh, all the latest toys!

Interestingly, only low voltage DDR3 is listed as being compatible. I wonder if the higher voltage DDR3 will simply not work? I can't imagine why else they'd only list compatibilty with low voltage DDR3 (1.35v). Maybe it's a limitation of the memory controller, as it's primarily designed for DDR4, which is naturally a lower voltage.

HEVC (x265) native hardware support is also fantastic to see :D

If thats true clock speeds have regressed. I hope they have made some serious ipc improvements becuase 95watt tdp is higher then Ivy Bridge.
 
Of course, forgot about broadwell. There I was thinking 'at last no more moments where I have to think about what number refers to what arch as I eye up second hand parts'.

Damn you intel, damn you to hell.
 
Is this Haswells replacement? If so and I am reading that right yet another new socket, 1151, so Z97 boards won't be compatible. That's going to **** a lot of people off who bought Z97 and hoped to drop one of these in.

No it is Broadwell's replacement, which is Haswell's replacement.

No one has ever been led to believe that Skylake would be x97 compatible, from the begining it's been published that it will be 1151 pins.

Z97 was always going to be Haswell/Broadwell chipset. It was never intended for Skylake which uses new 100 series chipsets i.e. Z170 etc.

There are two 65W tdp broadwell cpus coming out this summer for Z97 mobos: i5 5675C & i7 5775C. These are unlocked cpus but are not a direct replacement for devil canyon cpus. I am presuming the direct replacements were cancelled due to 14nm yield issues/delays.

Here is broadwell desktop thread for more info:
