Report: Intel Core i7-4771 Coming Q3 2013
Some slides of Intel's 2013/2014 Roadmap have surfaced, showing some interesting bits of information.
A blogger, who goes by the name of asder00, has leaked some slides of Intel's Roadmap for 2013/2014. The Roadmap doesn't reveal anything particularly surprising for the Extreme series of processors, though it does show some interesting developments for the Premium and Mainstream series processors.
First, it shows the existence of an Intel Core i7-4771. What we expect is that the Core i7-4771 will be the successor to the current i7-4770. This is because the Core i7-4770K is currently an extra 100 MHz faster out of the box over the non-K version of the CPU. The idea is that the i7-4771 will have the same stock clock speeds as those of the i7-4770K -- 3.5 GHz. This CPU is expected to be released in Q3-2013.
Another interesting bit in the slide is the indication of a "Haswell Refresh," which appears to be scheduled for Q2-2014. It remains unsure what this would entail, though it seems likely that the chips will still feature the same 22 nm tri-gate architecture, with nothing more than a couple of changes to clock speeds. What another slide shows is that the Z97 and H97 chipsets will launch along with the Haswell Refresh, though no details of this have surfaced yet.

Nope, from all that i've heard, only haswell-E will be DDR4, refresh will be on the z97 chipset, afaik that only adds sata express.
Broadwell won't launch for desktops (thus there will be no soceted retail boards), and given the mobile focus, hexa/octa core broadwell is unlikely. DDR4 may be likely, though.
Skylake in 2015 has DDR4 for sure.
Last time I checked, Broadwell is supposed to be Haswell's 14nm refresh and is expected to come out around 2014Q2 which is exactly where this roadmap puts it. Not much of a surprise there, we've known about that for almost a year already.
There aren't any official words on whether or not Broadwell will have DDR4 but the DRAM industry certainly could use the bump.
Have you seen the latest AMD chip before commenting? AMD is far from beating Intel, in terms of pricing yes, other than that, no.
There is no reason to exclude DDR4 from a respin. If Intel feels like it, they can definitely do it. Ivy Bridge was supposed to be only a die shrink but Intel tinkered with a few things all over the CPU on top of beefing up the IGP and upgrading PCIe lanes to 3.0.
There is no point in putting a respin on the roadmap unless they intend to change a bunch of at least somewhat significant things in it. DDR4 is one such relatively minor thing they can add: hardly changes anything aside from the need to support higher clocks and latencies at lower voltages.
Yeah and the NSA are reading this, there's a man in the moon and Microsoft's run by the Illuminati.

The noob warned you if you saying Illuminati, they don't know what is this include me
