BTW, Broadwell uses the same CPU socket that Haswell does (LGA 1150). So if you got a crappy Haswell chip, you could upgrade to a newer Broadwell part without having to swap out anything else. But since the Broadwell parts aren't all that amazing, there's not really much of a point. I don't expect they're going to make a lot of money off these parts.

What the fuck is the point of Broadwell if it doesn't support DDR4? So people with old ram can still get a nice CPU upgrade? I am baffled.

So... I'm waiting another 6+ months to build a new gaming PC.
I've considered building a new home theater pc though... the 65 watt Broadwell parts might be a good choice, considering the onboard GPU is getting steadily better. Plus my HTPC is freaking ancient.. it's rocking a core 2 duo 8800 and can't even play 1080p Youtube videos. On the other hand... Skylake is on the horizon. *sigh*Statistics: Posted by Satis — Mon Jun 08, 2015 9:44 am
