Intel Core "Haswell" Refresh Lineup Slated for Q2
Intel is expected to launch its refreshed Core "Haswell" processor lineup in the second quarter of 2014 (between April and June), beating its Computex 2014 anticipated launch window. Motherboard vendors will launch their products based on Intel's new Z97 Express and H97 Express chipsets by the end of April. The products will have reached retail channels worldwide by May.
Intel will release as many as 20 new SKUs spanning its Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, and Pentium brands, including the Core i7-4790, Core i5-4690, Core i5-4590, Core i3-4360, Pentium G3450, and Celeron G1840. Among the low-power SKUs are the Core i7-4790S, Core i5-4590S, and Core i3-4150T. The overclockers among you may want to hold out until Computex (June), because it's only then that Intel is expected to launch the Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K, which come with unlocked base-clock multipliers. These chips should be compatible with current socket LGA1150 motherboards, with a BIOS update. Intel's Core i7 "Haswell-E" HEDT platform could also launch around that time. Q2~Q3 promises to be a hectic time of the year for motherboard makers once again.

Besides Haswell is just ~10-15% faster in most tasks than SB, what's the point of throwing out your perfectly working motherboard to buy something which is only marginally faster?
I will wait for Broadwell/Skylake or whatever's coming next (most likely DDR4 based).
Here, get started:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking
i do agree about the 2600k still being a very good cpu, but the z68/z77 platform is not in the same class as z87. it is the chipset which was the real reason why i feel upgrading to 1150 was worthwhile from 1155.
back to topic.
any solid news on if the refresh is going to support both ddr3 and 4, or will it be 4 (or 3) only?
Intel has no rivals in the High-End market now, so they can decide how fast the next gen. CPUs will be.... and this sucks.
Never gonna happen but id definely invest in the company to float them to them to the top of the market and give them a fighting chance
That Core i7 3930K is really dragging you down is it,....?
LOL, now that my friends,.......is "sarcasm",...... ;)
Even intel CEO/Rep. said Broadwell will be compatible with existing systems and new systems ie Z97.

Or like IB was compatible with a bios update @ P67 chipset.
btw, no DDR4 for broadwell LGA1150, only for server variant.. But Haswell-E will apparently have it

Push it harder - my 2500k could do 4.9Ghz stable, Im sure i could have done 5Ghz if i bothered to tweak it a little. Its not like i didnt try but i was too lazy. At 4.9Ghz you'd pretty much demolish any game or benchmark so there was little point pushing it that last 100mhz unless it was for e-peen.
Definitely one of the best set ups ive ever had in all my years of being an enthusiast. That said though, I used to have a AMD64 3000+ that could do 2.75Ghz. I thought that was bad ass till i heard people getting 3Ghz out of it on suicide runs
ahhh nostalgia.... as nostalgic as the 9700 pro i have in a box somewhere. It still works but its not in 'working condition' memory on it is corrupt so all i see is blue tint and all sorts of shit on screen if i plug it into something and boot with it. I cant bring myself to throw it away because it done 9800 pro speeds.
