Intel Core i7-5775C and i5-5675C Hit Retail Channel in Early June
Intel's upcoming 5th generation Core processors targeted at PC enthusiasts, the Core i7-5775K, and the Core i5-5675K, will be available in the retail channel on June 1st (NA, EMEA), and June 2nd (APAC). The two were available to the OEM channel since earlier this month. This is when you will be able to buy the two at a ground store, or online, in retail (box) packaging. Built in the LGA1150 package, the two will be compatible with existing Intel 9-series chipset motherboards (with BIOS updates).
Based on the swanky new 14 nm "Broadwell" silicon, the i7-5775C and the i5-5675C are quad-core chips. The i7-5775C offers clock speeds of 3.30 GHz, which spools up to 3.70 GHz with Turbo Boost; and will feature HyperThreading, enabling 8 logical CPUs. The i5-5675C offers 3.10 GHz clocks, with 3.60 GHz Turbo Boost frequencies. Both chips will offer 6 MB of L3 cache, Intel Iris Pro 6200 graphics; and TDP as low as 65W. For this reason, and others, the two won't exactly replace the i7-4790K and i5-4690K from the product stack. The two will ship with unlocked base-clock multipliers, letting you overclock them, and could still make for great buys for premium gaming PC builds.

It got pinned to 100.96MHz and windows saw it as 101MHz, also sometimes it would bsod by windows logon (bsod 0x124) since it now raised cpu freq. a bit, e.g. 4.6GHz >>> 4.64GHz.
This clock bug appeared as soon as I enabled XMP, with it off it would function normally and set it to 100MHz.
Also first time when I flashed this IMEI I got some strange prompt about tunderbolt and not enough UEFI memory or something.. It went away after another hardreset/restore UEFI to default..
So I guess if I had Broadwell cpu and used that IMEI it should theoretically work, maybe this IMEI is really only Broadwell blck specific.
btw PCH diagram is the same for both Z87 & Z97, that's why intel ceo said that what he said, but now I see its mostly for marketing and why they left old system out, but then again slight delay would make more sense, not left it out entirely..

But careful with this IMEI firmware update, I almost thought I bricked my mobo bios, couldn't flash back to old 9.0, after some 2-3hr panic I finally tested Asus flashback and that worked as intended. Got a bit lucky my mobo didn't have write protected IMEI fw.
It does not look like there is anything HARDWARE related that rules out Z87 compatibility.
