With PCs stagnating they're better off ramping Cherry Trail first. i agree. intel is finally adding a decent-looking (from the specs) igpu and better memory support. although i couldn't gather if the imc has dual channel support. i also couldn't find anything about intel's plans with their lte modems. qualcomm has integrated lte and it wiped the floor with design wins last year. mediatek has one design with integrated lte modem (3rd party iirc) too.
this guy thinks cherry trail may have short shelf life:

While I certainly can't divulge roadmaps, suffice it to say we're painfully aware of how important LTE capability is in the US market.

10 sata 6Gb/s ports and 40 pcie gen 3.0 lanes from the cpu, capable of 5x8 configuration (quad sli + physx?
). the socket is lga2011-3.
i'm more worried about the fivr in the cpu. xbitlabs was not impressed with how it jacked up cpu vcore too much during o.c. (in auto modes.), making offset-based o.c. very difficult.

there are longer. replace "coffee stains" with "wayforward technologies" and "goat simulator" with any of these - "SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab", "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!" or "Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!".
...

...
and replace "intel iris pro" with "intel core i7 4770R with iris pro graphics".

Intel boosting multi-monitor support out of the box, and bye-bye VGA.
"The "Cherryview" Atom processors feature "Gen8" graphics (Broadwell) capabilities, there's three display pipes, three HDMI/DisplayPort/EmbeddedDisplayPort ports, two MIPI DSI display ports, and VGA support has been dropped from Cherryview. "

I didn'te realize that there was such little difference between the mobile i5 and i3 CPUs. According to the minimal data on that chart there doesn't even appear to be any difference...in desktop, the obvious difference is in core count. the exception is the lowest end core i3, which has less L3 cache and prolly lower tier igpu. in mobile it's mainly in L3 cache size, turbo, clockrates and some instruction sets and fixed function features like aes-ni. mobile i3 has no turbo boost. mobile i5 and i7 both have turbo boost and ht, but dual core i7 has more L3 cache and higher end ones have 4 core with ht. some of the higher end mobile i7 may be overclockable.
intel is quite helpful in conveying those differences in their model numbering scheme.
that last bit isn't true.

That's what I would have expected to see, but the chart is showing the same L3 cache (3MB) on all mobile i5 and i3 refresh models. They also all have HT (2 cares, 4 threads) and the top model in each refresh line has the same frequency. The majority of the i3 models actually appear to be running at a faster frequency than their i5 brethren.

So that's what has me baffled here. There either has to be an error in the chart here or the only differences between these processors are in instruction set capabilities and igpu capabilities not reflected in the chart.

that chart only shows base clockrate. like i said, mobile i5 has turbo boost unlike mobile i3 cpus. that's one of the main differences between those.

Judging by the temps it looks like the new TIM is on the refresh parts also, not just the Devil's Canyons versions.
There is a sizable 18c/10c (Idle/Load) difference between 4970 and 4770K.

that'll really affect the die size. amd's dies are approximately square, while iris pro socs are very rectangular. the edram at the end of the soc die makes the whole thing even more rectangular. i can't imagine gt4e running cool with the increased density and lengthened die and package size. on desktops, it'd alienate majority of the non-oem, 3rd party cpu coolers on the market. it'll also make coolers' bases' orientation very important for proper heat dissipation. on one end (the far end) you have the high performance, highly dense broadwell cpu running 4c/8t with 8 MB L3 cache, using around 40-60w+ on load e.g. gaming/prime95. on the other end you have 96 eus runing at 1.6 GHz, using 128MB EDRAM. there'd be a Lot of heat, lol. i read in gigabyte's brix pro's review that core i7 4770R can hit around 90-100c and sustain it's performance while sacrificing (round-aboutedly admitted by intel) silicon longevity.

I don't think orientation matters all that much as it will be under the heat spreader. They have a decent shrink going from 22nm to 14nm with roughly 2x density increase. That would put the graphics at around 3/4 of the die, but still smaller than a current GT3e die. It's not like they're modifying the CPU cores that much.

both at 88w tdp. these chips are definitely binned considering general haswell o.c. clockrates. with better t.i.m., these may actually hit the magical number. although i expect heat generation to ramp up sharply after 4.5 ghz on all cores. in addition to that.. intel might charge "extra" for better packaging and binning. i am scared to imagine how much "extra"...

Well, _Roy, Is v3 really that important anyway? And really, is the refresh necessary? Just more of the 5%-10% increase for the same price. Which is okay; I don't knock it, be happy.that's how intel releases cpus. lga 1150 xeons accompany lga 1150 desktop cpus. they follow yearly refresh cadence. as usual intel tries to pursuade people to buy their latest products. lately, lga 11xx xeons gained reputation for being a bit cheaper than desktop core i7 cpus i.e. full cache and ht support along with full virtualization (for those xeons) at a cheaper price since intel disables vt-d support in pricier, unlocked core i7 cpus.
the refresh is more important to oems than it is to customers. if you have a core i5/i7 sandy bridge or later cpu, or even lga1156 core i5/i7, these won't get you a lot of performance. but oems refresh their pcs regularly and they want fresh new parts to show off and get people to buy them. moreover, intel's refresh cycle is longer this time. broadwell in rumored to come out later this year and in desktop next year. intel acknowledged the teething issues with their 14nm process, which caused the delays. this is why haswell refresh happened. another, less significant bit is that haswell chipsets received a new stepping and new interface support.

An i7-4790K with a frequency of up to 4.4 GHz? Yikes! That would make my grandfathered i7 look bad.__________________________
Should be better than that, most of the component manufacturers already have them for testing purposes an they OC a little better than regular Haswell, where 4.6 and higher isn't that unusual for the 4770K

I was expecting higher. Will have to see how this magical TIM performs first though.
i was, too. i was expecting the core i7 to be in $380 range, i5 in $260-270 range, and the pentium in $120-130 range. the d.c. pentium's price is a killer, if it's real or retailers sell it at that price. imagine what will happen once these hit microcenter. mc could repeat the legendary (imo) core i5 2500k's $160 sale.

Quad-DDR4 for under $400. Not bad at all.
Now they're saying Broadwell/Skylake (desktop) launches will overlap in Q2 2015. Interesting.

Intel Enters into Strategic Agreement with Rockchip

http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2014/2014052601_Intel_Sky...
let's check the timeline of rumored launches:
in q4: mobile broadwell skus with 2+2, 2 or 4+3/e configuration.
http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2014/2014050101_Intel_Bro...
in q2 2015: dt brw, unlocked skus, lga1150, likely H and Z97 chipsets.
http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2014/2014052001_Prelimina...
in h2 2015: dt skylake (skylake-s), lga-packaging, locked skus, 100 series chipset.
http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2014/2014050501_Intel_Sky...
if i assume intel is "on track with broadwell" per their claims, the timeline leaves a huge hole for mobile skylake skus and accepts delays of skylake's launch. the article's two links to older rumors point to significant upgrades with skylake e.g. 20 pcie 3.0 lanes, dmi 3.0, ddr4 - who on earth will pick brw even if it's unlocked? the possible explanations of overlap could be that -
intel will delay skylake dt's launch for unlocked brw.
dt brw will have very short shelf life, only to serve as minor upgrade over "haswell refresh". remember the earlier ruckus over snipping off pcie 3.0 support, bga cpus, possible mobocalypse.

^^^^Broadwell/Devils Canyon has a smaller die size, therefore a smaller CPU itself, right?
What is all of this Haswell E about. Just better watt to watt performance?
devil's canyon cpus will have the same die size as their respective haswell/refresh counterparts.
broadwell will be fabbed on intel's 14nm node, so it should be smaller and denser than haswell.
haswell-e is different. these are aimed at high end server/workstation and high end desktops. -e cpus have larger dies (compared to mainstream desktop ones), more cores and more pcie lanes.
