No, it is not at normal cadence. At normal tick/tock, we would have had desktop broadwell instead of haswell refresh, and Skylake coming soon. *If* Skylake comes mid year and if it shows something like 15% or more improvement, then we are pretty much back on schedule, but I am not counting on that. Even from SB to Haswell we saw about 5% plus 8% increase, so Haswell to Skylake needs about 15% improvement to just keep up with the most recent tick/tock improvements.
And since normally each generation has slipped to about 15 months, what I am realistically expecting is Skylake by end of the year and 10% or less improvement vs Haswell. I hope I am wrong on both counts, but we will see. Intel talked a good game with Broadwell up until the very end, but continually made, shall I call it "overly optimistic"projections on both timing and performance.
