Broadwell Socket type?

I was looking through the forums and saw a post saying that the Broadwell chips will use socket 1150 and you may need to get a new power supply as well. Has this been confirmed? And will Broadwell work with current socket 1150 boards?

 

Thanks,

Broadwell uses the 9 series chipset which I doubt will need a new power supply but will need a new motherboard according to rumours
