Intel to launch is Haswell refresh products May 10th 2014
It is not finally a set date, you guys will see Intel's pending Haswell Cire refresh products in May, the 10th to be precise (11th depending on your timezone). That date the processors will be launched, mostly having a 100 Mhz bump on the clock frequency. more interesting of course will be the new intel H97/Z97 chipset for motherboards.
Intel originally planned to release the CPUs in April and then distribute the chipsets in May, but after feedback from motherboard clients and channel retail partners, Intel decided to delay the CPU launch and release the two together in May.
Then the enthusiast class Devil’s Canyon processors will be released shortly after that likely in the Computex 2014 timeframe, in June this year. Haswell-E with the LGA 2011-3 socket is going to followup in September. There will be roughly 20 SKUs queued for the Haswell Refresh (most of the SKUs wil get a clock upgrade of 100 Mhz) which are the following:

Devils Canyon code-named CPUs will appear in June at Computex 2014 (“K” Unlocked Processors with improved TIM). And then what everybody really wants, Haswell-E is coming in September 2014.
Motherboard players including Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology have already geared up to release new products. Asustek shipped five million motherboards and Gigabyte 5.2 million in the first quarter, and with Haswell Refresh and the 9-series, market watchers expect their shipments to grow 10% sequentially in the second quarter.
In additional news, Asustek shipped 20.7 million motherboards and Gigabyte 20.5 million in 2013.

Are you sure that Haswell-E is going to be "delayed" until September? This is the only place I've seen report that.

There was never any official confirmation of a release date to being with. So technically nothing has been "delayed". But wccf and Toms are both reporting 2nd half of 2014 for a release.

I must've read it as second quarter. I sure hope it's close to the beginning of the second half. I've been waiting so long now, I'm almost ready to just pull the trigger on a 4770k/4790k.

TBH, you've waited this long. It wont kill you to wait just a little longer.

I guess that the chance of getting VT-d in the K models is close to none.
