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.

On a 3570K here, but I'm pretty much of the same opinion. I'm really not seeing anything that looks like a worth while upgrade any time soon.

We need AMD to get back on the ball and release something that forces Intel to really innovate again. The last couple years, the only competition Intel has had, is themselves on desktop and ARM in mobile. Quite honestly, it feels as though Intel is becoming complacent in the desktop market.

Same with my 2600K. I see no reason to upgrade before 2015 unless Broadwell provides some unexpectedly massive performance gain...
