They must be responding to some competition from AMD!

I have seen many times that we must support AMD because their competition drives intel to keep prices down and keep innovating!

So are there any performance leaks or projections?

I have been looking forward to broadwell e for a long time. Being able to overclock the locked multipler skylake chips is really interesting, I mean very very tempting for me. Reminds me of the good Ole days...like way too much.
But still, i have been holding back pulling the trigger..just want to see broadwell E.

I remember a link bofox posted a good long while ago, it showed Overclocked broadwell chips stomping skylake in gaming. Broadwell came and went so fast, I haven't seen many reviews...especially overclocked broadwell.

Anyway, we need some benchmarks for broadwell e

Didn't my intel launch party video give you all the info you needed?

Was that the link in post 2?

It wouldn't show up on my phone. Guess it's the format

Hey, that was because of the L4 eDRAM cache in the ordinary Broadwell CPUs (along with maybe 5% IPC increase)..   I don't think the "E" variants will feature the crystal well L4 cache which is what gave a massive boost to games and apps that benefited from faster bandwidth access.  

Intel is just milking the cow with 3-5% IPC increase each generation..  nothing exciting until AMD's Zen hopefully forces Intel to seriously compete.

I think Intel was planning to do that with Skylake, when Intel's PR said that Skylake would be the biggest technological leap in CPU features/performance in over a decade, but it seems that Intel delayed most of the good stuff and saved it for Kaby Lake (at least with the greatly improved L4 eDRAM architecture that would show considerable benefits over that found on Broadwell and one Haswell CPU that first featured it).
