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.

Must be pretty tough to jump from 22nm down to 14nm.
Won't be long till those pesky lil electrons start to fly off the wafer.
We need a new material that is better and cheaper, but does it exist and if so why hasn't it being announced yet.
I bet someone somewhere is testing a super semi conductor right now which would blow the game wide open. Come on U.S Military let us have the super chips plx.

Dimonds I think are the next step iirc they are working on synthesizing the materials needed.

The Ivy Bridge E's will be as popular as a dead skunk in the middle of the road, with zero performance increase over Sandy Bridge for mega bucks and very hard to find new mega buck boards to mount new "E" based systems. The board makers already know Ivy Bridge "E" is dead in the water, you can tell by the huge numbers of new boards being released.
The nut jobs managing INTEL need to be fragged.
The date for Haswell "E" should be moved foreword to early Q2.
I'm keeping my X58 running till the "E's" show up!

That's the plan or to go even higher, but for now is enough, since I don't have the time to play around with it. Even the ram timings are to high, with the xmp profile. Need time to fine tune it.
