Intel Broadwell Thread

[dahorns]

The Geekbench score of the 5200U is twice that of the Exynos in Note 4.

I'm just going by what was reported in this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2407781.

Some laptops kicking around with BDW-U but not on the shelves yet

Or maybe they are!

In stock at time of post.

Broadwell for desktops should launch early 2015 right? Have there been any more news, a precise launch date, what SKUs are there going to be, etc?

And where in that thread was a 5200U score quoted? Nowhere.

In that thread the Exynos score given was 1282, while the current two results in Geekbench DB for 5200U are more than 2400.

There is no Broadwell desktop. It was presumably canceled in favor of going back to the Tick-Tock scheme and thus Skylake in 2015 after it's become clear to Intel that 14nm suffered from low yields and changed focus on 10nm instead.

So Broadwell only for mobile, desktop Skylake probably needing a new chipset means no upgrade path for the current 1150 motherboards. Is this what we can expect?

There has been (I think still is?) a Broadwell K scheduled for some stage next year, but it has been looking rather out of place with Skylake so soon after etc.

Q3 2015, but only K-models with GT3e iGPU.

this looks like fresh news, what's your source for this ?

it contradicts reports such as http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-s-delayed-september-ctober-2015 saying that "Broadwell-K will arrive sometime in early 2015"

I'm positive he wasn't talking about Broadwell-K.

what was "canceled" then ?

Thanks for the link. I "knew" there would be more delays, and I'd be extremely surprised if Cannonlake doesn't get delayed, so I still predict it will launch in November.

All other Broadwell SKUs for desktop (if there weren't problems, it would likely have been a similar launch like Ivy Bridge), unless Intel knew from the start it wouldn't be able to get Broadwell out in time.

 

[frozentundra123456]

So is skylake coming out before Broadwell K? If so, that almost makes it look like they are moving the K models to be like the HEDT platform one architectural step behind the mainstream chips. Yes I know Haskell E is out now, but the mainstream should be on broadwell, so the point still stands.

I hope it doesn't end up canceled. There's always the slim hope for 5ghz monsters that would be a nice little drop in upgrade for everyone on Z97 and X99.

never heard of them

 

[oobydoobydoo]

This will be the first time since what, sandy bridge, that apple hasn't debuted intel's latest architecture! That's very telling.


Repeatedly, Broadwell has shown to be a poor performer. Despite multiple examples of Broadwell being released, no reviews. Now, Apple has snubbed Broadwell-U. What next?

 

[witeken]

never heard of them

'Cause they were, most likely, canceled.

They're going to be reborn as Xeon E3 v4

IMHO more likely never planned, note that this time with Broadwell the leaks were a lot later than the NDAded tech disclosure, the late Q2 2013 very detailed tech disclosure (> 130 slides) was well before 14 nm issues

Meet the (unannounced) Lenovo Yoga 3 11

Lenovo will offer at least 3 different models of the Yoga 3 11. One features an Intel Core M-5Y10C processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive.

A second model has the same processor, but 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while a third has a faster Core M-5Y71 CPU, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage.

IMHO Core M makes more sense in smaller premium convertibles/tablets like this while Broadwell-U is a better fit for >13'' devices. Yoga 3 11 should be out soon (January?) along with the higher-clocked Core-M models (new revision).

Exactly. Not sure what was going on at Lenovo HQ when they stuck a Core M in a 13-inch laptop. This 11-inch model should have come out first, and they should have waited on Broadwell-U for the 13-inch.

I was under the impression that Broadwell U and Y didn't have any PCIe lanes or enough to do a dGPU, but it looks like that is not the case. Even Core M has the same amount as Haswell Y did - 12 PCIe 2.0 lanes. Could end up happening instead on Skylake if U and Y do integrate the PCH on die instead of on package.

PCH is on package for Skylake-Y/U.

I have a noob question.. will broadwell support z97 chipset?
i am asking this becoz i am upgrading my pc and i am not into overclocking but i heard a rumor that broadwell might just support z97 chipset.
