Intel to only release K-model Broadwell processors end 2014

An interesting post slash leaked roadmap appeared today, it shows that Intel will only release K-model Broadwell processors end 2014. K-model CPUs have an unlocked multiplier, which we PC enthusiast adore so much. The desktop roadmap shown is for 2014. It also shows that in the 2nd quarter Intel will refresh the Haswell line-up and a chipset update of 8 to series 9. The differences in-between the chipsets should be minimal. Then at the end of 2014 Broadwell makes an entry with the K model CPUs initially. Broadwell is a die shrink of the current Haswell generation and will be baked at 14nm instead of 22nm.

Also an interesting fact, in the 3rd quarter of 2014 Intel will release Haswell-E processors. Haswell-E will get the X99 chipset and is a follow-up of Ivy-Bridge-E on X79.

I guess this would be kinda joke if it was to come to Desktop...

Lately not only we don't see noticable imrovements with each new series, but due to its lower voltage requirements, chances would be on even lower perfomance than Sandy/Ivy/Haswell.

The truth is that in terms of speed AMD is not keeping up so what is the point to make huge steps in terms of speed when AMD is always behind.

looks like I'll be staying on z77 for a while if I'm honest. this 2500k is turning out to be quite a bargain, getting great value out of it!

Well I kinda expected Haswell-E to be so late, but no one believed it

Are the Z87 boards going to work with this after a BIOS update?

Yes please.

Well that was the original plan, hopefully they're gonna stick to it or else!!

I don't really see that happening. This is intel in the end, new sockets for everything.

Broadwell is still LGA1150 and was originally planed to be Z87 compatible, just like IvyBridge is with older Z68 models
