Haswell Refresh

Anyone think Haswell Refresh is disappointing? 100Mhz bump.

The only excitement if it actually happens is the new SSD stuff, but that would take quite a while to mature from all the vendors.

This means on the server side we're not likely to see much happen this year. Haswell it is still.

    crony capitalism. Intel monopoly at its best

    I think only serious update is 30 percent improvement in power consumption compared to the 2013 Haswell chips

    You are right. Nothing exciting there.

    Seems like nothing to write home about.

    Honestly, until actual CPU performance tests are performed, there's no way to really know what there is in the new package. I'm going to go on a limb that there'll be better off-peak power management along with more optimized circuitry, but beyond that is pure speculation.

    Well, Broadwell may hit this year.

    It's not even going to be a new stepping most likely - at most for the chipset changes to accommodate SSD spec if it happens. The 100Mhz bump is but better bins / yields due to process maturity after a year.
