Intel's 14 nm "Broadwell" Could Launch by Late-2014
Intel's first processors based on the company's "Broadwell" silicon, which is an incremental upgrade to "Haswell," and built on Intel's swanky new 14 nanometer silicon fabrication process, could launch by late-2014. Intel responded to the 2014 "Back to School" shopping season with 9-series chipset motherboards featuring LGA1150 sockets, and Core "Haswell" Refresh processors. Mobile CPUs based on the silicon, were launched, too. Intel couldn't deliver on "Broadwell," the processor its 9-series chipset was originally designed to accompany. Back in 2013, "Broadwell" was expected to be Intel's big mid-2014 launch, in tune with its "Tick-Tock" product development strategy, that sees introductions of new micro-architectures, and new silicon fabrication processes take turns each year.

Intel postpones Broadwell availability to 4Q14

Of course there is much wrong with it, the news itself is very unpleasant and annoying for those who need to upgrade now with something decent but need to wait...
TPU didn't even care (as far as I checked the old articles) back then in February to post the news (even if only as a rumour coming from the supply chain).
Whatever, move on!
Do not be so sure that the already enough PCIe 3.0 bandwidth will be replace by something new for marketing reasons. No-one is going to bother creating something just for the spoiled kid which wants to have the latest but is unable to use it.
I'm still more interested in Haswell-E personally.
It's elongated like an old school Pentium III Katmai.
"Upgrade cause it makes sense :cool::D"
x86 is done. Pile on more cores, but that's all we're gonna get.
EDIT: I'd trust Reuters over digitimes any day of the week. Oh hey, it's this argument again.
