Broadwell is a die shrink of Haswell. That is, its design and performance is identical to Haswell, but shrunk down so it consumes less power. On desktops you generally don't care about power consumption, so there's little reason to get a Broadwell CPU over a Haswell for the desktop. Intel put out Broadwell i5 and i7 desktop CPUs because those tend to run a lot hotter (they are quad cores). The switch to Broadwell reduces the cooling system required for those processors at the high end.

The only reason I can think of to prefer a Broadwell i3 over a Haswell i3 is if you wanted better integrated graphics performance (the Intel HD graphics was redesigned in Broadwell). But it's a desktop - if you want better graphics performance, add...

broadwell was never meant to be for desktop - the C processors are just here for bragging rights, imho :D

if I am ciorect, the only braswell desktop skus were three i5 C and R series and two i7 R and C series.
other than that a couple of e3-12xx v4 xeons were announced, and a lot of mobile processors.

and with skylake coming few months after broadwell, my guess would be - all the new desktop skus will skylake and they will range from celerons to i7-x as usual.
