Without any real fanfare Intel has now kicked off sales and shipments of processors part of 'Haswell Refresh' line. An official launch for the updated Haswell offering, complete with motherboards based on the 9 Series LGA1150 chipsets, is reportedly planned for next month but since the CPUs got the go-ahead you can expect them to reach stores shortly.
A total of 44 chips have been introduced by Intel, 27 of which are for desktops while the rest are for mobile devices. There's nothing really new about the CPUs as they are still based on the Haswell architecture (which debuted last year) but they do have slightly higher (100 MHz in most cases) frequencies than the models they aim to replace (speed bump at no added cost).
On the desktop side the Haswell Refresh brings a new non-K king -the 3.6 GHz Core i7-4790, some lower-power variations of it (the 65 W TPD 4790S and the 45 W 4790T), plus no less than ten new Core i5s, and a bunch of low-end Pentium and Celeron models. The mobile segment got five new quad-core processors clocked between 2.1 GHz and 2.5 GHz, and various Core, Pentium and Celeron dual-cores. The entire release wave is detailed in the tables above.
