***Official Intel Haswell Thread***

Just wondering, is it confirmed broadwell will be a new socket and will require new mobo? That would suck, as I would likely upgrade to broadwell also but keep same setup.

not 100% sure but you'll need a new mb atleast to take advantage or ddr4 and sata express

Was Broadwell not supposed to be BGA only, with Skylake going back to LGA?

As I understand it, only some of the chips will be bga, like maybe lower power usage ones. Not the 5770k etc.

Not too sure what sata express will do for me. Need to read up on that. As for DDR4, from what I can see I don't think it will make much difference to gaming or general day to day use. Maybe for video encoding cad/cam etc, but I do not use those. Correct me if I am wrong however.

Yeah. I'm not really sure about SATA express either. DDR4 will be expensive and at lower timings and speeds to begin with anyway won't it?
 
sata express means much faster speeds,you can still connect regular sata drives,i saw a socket somewhere its like two sata connectors joined together

ddr4 should improve everything imo

and I though it was bga but theres three sections and bga is for tablet and micro devices,desktops will still be lga

Thing is, isn't all ddr4 going to bring is higher mhz lower cas? Even now there is didly squat difference between 1600mhz and 2000mhz+ for gaming I last check. 1-2% maybe?

I do hope I am wrong however, I want things to improve, not like mainstream cpu's such as sandy to haswell having less than 20% difference. in performance. Will be a huge disappointment if I cant get it to 5ghz comfortable on water.

Well, yes. What with games being easily gpu limited. There are uses for computers beyond computer games. I'd go so far as to say that the vast majority of uses of computers are not games.

You don't need 5ghz for games either. Weird double standards in your post.

I want 3GHz ram :)
 
Will sata express be native to the broadwell chipset, or will it take a few generations for native support to appear? (e.g like it did with sata 3)

I have no idea,aslong as Intel handle it and not third parties like Marvell,it should be fine
 
inogen going this way you will never upgrade. Because NEXT GENERATION IS JUST YEAR AWAY..... And when it comes NEXT GENERATION IS JUST YEAR AWAY hehehehe.

There is always something nice in next gen :P

MOOGLEYS since its new 1150 socket i hope for 2 upgrades later on.. bit shame 1155 ended :P
