Probably Q3 2015, so September maximum.
I'm still uncertain if they are really going to release it though because Skylake -S parts are already sampling and an unlocked Broadwell at the same time makes so little sense...
Also, whoever said Q1 2016 is clearly out of their mind, and deserves an infraction for the spread of misinformation.
Broadwell-K is in Q2 2015.
Broadwell-E is later.
I'd imagine it'd get the Devil's Canyon treatment.

We've seen samples of Broadwell-K?If the engineering samples were any clue, it will definitely be a failure's Canyon treatment.
Broadwell-K is in Q2 2015.
Well, it's safe to assume it will be, because it will have its multiplier locked and the bclk is as well.Skylake is coming in August 2015 anyway, so I don't see why anyone would want to buy Broadwell-K. Only reason to buy Broadwell-K might be that Intel have somehow made it into a great overclocking chip and Skylake is inherently crippled in terms of overclockability.
Right in time for the launch of Zen.Intel is holding their cards.

That may very well be the cause of the delay. Those two target the same market.
I wonder if broadwell will have similar package design as Baytrail (If you know what I mean ):

This is outdated based on the pre-delay. Broadwell-K is Q3.
If skylake is running ahead of schedule (rumour) is there any chance they will just skip broadwell-k and go to skylake. Also do any of these chips offer much over haswell refresh (other than improve hd graphics) ?
(I didn't realize that haswell refresh was 14nm).

Haswell refresh is none of those things. That's Devil's Canyon, and Devil's Canyon includes a bit more than what you've listed.Haswell Refresh is 22nm. It's really just Haswell, with new TIM, and some improved binning.
1) They'll probably require a 9-series LGA 1150 board -- they might not work with 8-series.So will these be drop in ready for LGA1150 or will there be a new socket?? also what will be the max core count for these new cpu's??
