Intel to Launch Just Two LGA1150 "Broadwell" Parts

mmm Intel is making sense for a change. Only thing missing is an unlocked i3.

The reduced cache blows though, I'd rather have regular HD5000 graphics and keep the cache.

mmm no, thats not intelligent for intel, with unlocked i3's more people will get then and sales for i5's and i7s will be marginally reduced,
i thinks is not gona happen....

Which is my point. DDR3-2133 is the max the DDR3 standard allows; DDR4-3200 is the max the DDR4 standard allows. There are already DDR4-3200 sticks available and the fastest available overclocking memory right now is DDR4-3333 (bound to go higher). DDR4 has DDR3 beat in every way right now except cost.

What intel DDR3 IMC supports 2133 as a standard/native memory clock? There isn't one im pretty sure. Now if we go to AMD, their memory controller for their APUs support up to 2133 natively, but this is an Intel CPU thread.

There is not a single DDR4 IMC that supports higher then 2133 natively (Only choice we have for DDR4 is Haswell E anyways). So anything above that is not really standard. Its still an overclock in respect to what the IMC allows.

By the time DDR4 was even widely available on the consumer market, we had people taking DDR3 DIMMs to 3000mhz+

Not necessarily, especially if people need the actual cores in the i5/i7s for applications other than gaming. Not to mention, with DX12 on the horizon, multi-threading for games should be better so more cores might actually make a difference in games for once.

JEDEC sets the standards, not Intel/AMD (they are both members of JEDEC though). It was probably raised to DDR3-2133 because AMD requested it and DDR4 was still a ways off.

As I already pointed out, the fastest memory available on the market today (3333) is DDR4, not DDR3. DDR3 has pretty much reached the extent it can go as well; the same is not true of DDR4.
