Broadwell delayed?

[Skiddley]

Interestingly, Asus just released a new BIOS for the z97 that includes support for 5th Gen Intel Core Processors.

Still think Broadwell is cancelled?

Indeed, desktop Skylake K probably well into next year I'd imagine Q3 maybe?

If people know it's coming so soon after Broadwell then they'll just skip that altogether, they need to leave enough time to actually sell Broadwell otherwise it'll just be stillborn.

Skylake desktop processors are coming this year for sure - Confirmed by Intel.

June release date I imagine.

Which motherboard got a BIOS update today? Checked one or two, couldn't see it. Too many to check through all of them

z97 Pro

Ah thanks for that.

Linking the picture for more visibility!

I'll assume Asus will add support to the other Z97 motherboards in the coming days/weeks, checked the Z97-A (popular motherboard that I do builds with) and no update yet.
