Intel Haswell reviews embargo lifted

Look closer.

There is no 14nm Broadwell tick for LGA sockets, which we already knew. Broadwell is BGA only.

What this does tell us, however, which is news to me, is that desktop users will also be getting some kind of refresh in 2014. I wonder what it will bring? Higher clocks? Or maybe new feature support, like (dare I dream) DDR4 or SATA Express.

They might upgrade the iGPU and increase the clocks. I don't think we'll see DDR4 with Haswell refresh.

Broadwell-E might be LGA. Unless they go from Haswell-E straight to Skylake-E.
