Has there been any further update regarding the release date ?

Is June still the most likely month for the release of these cpus?

Intel are pathetic. still no 5ghz chips. ive had 4.6ghz for 3 years.

Ayahuasca · 15 Apr 2015 at 17:16

Why specifically should 5ghz be the figure required? It's just a number, if it was 4.9ghz and 1fps slower in games it would be pathetic?

If you want someone to blame it should be AMD for not pushing them harder, Intel haven't really needed to release anything for years. A clocked 2500k hammers AMD's 5ghz chip.

Mine runs at 5 GHz

Still no news - the way things are looking, Broadwell for desktop will be released the same time as Skylake!

Orangey · 16 Apr 2015 at 02:27

I hope they at least get Skylake out in time for back to school.

Martini1991 · 16 Apr 2015 at 08:13

I'm really not sure how this is going to play out, it seems unfathomable that Broadwell and skylake can come out in the same year noW..

Companies send products to die sometimes, so long as they have a theoretical use case they can spin it.

Intel’s 5th Generation Unlocked Broadwell Desktop, Socketed Processors To Arrive in Mid-2015

Intel’s 5th generation broadwell processors are launching for the desktop market in mid-2015 as reported in a slide shown by chief reporter of HKEPC, Lam Chi-Kui. The slide does not provide any additional information but confirms that socketed processors will be available in the Broadwell lineup for the current LGA 1150 boards and will be launching in June 2015 which points to a Computex announcement.

So these Broadwell cpus going to be released 2-3 months before Skylake cpus then...

Looks like it. I think I'll wait a little bit longer....

But the first Skylake CPU's will be the slower, locked ones. So enthusiasts, who don't want/need 6&8 core CPU's, will still prefer the Devils Canyon i5 & i7 and possibly Broadwell, depending on benchmarks, until the full fat, unlocked Skylakes arrive in 2016.

I will only upgrade to the i7 Broadwell if it can clock to at least 4.5Ghz and is at least 5% quicker in terms of IPC than my current 4690k, otherwise I'll wait for the 2016 Skylakes before upgrading again.

Proof/sauce?

Fudzilla posted an article where they claimed there will be a LGA1364 socket, but they are incompetents who misread B as L. And that's all I can find.

All leaked info points so the simultaneous release of Skylake LGA1151 skews.

So, assuming the leaks are accurate, the unlocked chips should be available day1.

I am itching to purchase a 4690K but it makes sense to wait a few weeks for an i5 5675C

BaronVonDuncs · 2 May 2015 at 09:13

So if Broadwell 5775C is not really better than a 4770K or 4790K what exactly is the point of the release at this time? I am not sure I see the commercial niche that Intel is going for here.

MrAnthony · 2 May 2015 at 10:40

Broadwell still seems like some sort of experiment/money-making scheme to me. I don't know. I'm just waiting on benchmarks. Currently on a Pentium K, so if this new 5775C outperforms the current Haswell i7 then I'll grab one in June. If not, I'll grab Haswell instead.

Not too fussed either way to be honest. I know I want an i7 and I don't mind waiting until June, but since I've been forced into an 1150 upgrade, Skylake isn't really an option I can wait for.

mahius · 2 May 2015 at 13:20

Why is everything happening within the next couple of months? The GTX 980ti launches in a few weeks, these Broadwell apparently launch next month, the AMD R9 300 series should be around the corner if they have any sense. All while I'll be able to finally get cracking on a new build. If these specs are anything to go by, CPU choice should be as simple as an i7 4790k, provided the price goes down, since these look relatively worse by comparison.

My big concern is cost, I'm the type of person who likes to buy at the right moment and save a bunch of pennies. If these are a bit worse than current chips, it could push prices of those older chips up in order to sell these and make more profit on the older chips too. All I can hope for is either these chips are decent (unlikely) or that their release makes the 4790k cheap again (possibly unlikely too). I may have to snipe one next deal OCUK do before these release if the worst happens.

Intel said that these two Broadwell CPU's are aimed for mini PC's, smaller factor PC's etc - PC's without a dedicated graphics card, hence the special 'iris pro' GPU with 128MB of eDRAM.

So in other words, they are not meant to compete with the 4790k, and are for an entirely different purpose.

I am however very interested in seeing how well these CPU's overclock, as it's our first go at overclocking on Intel's new 14nm process.
