Differences among intel processors

What are the main differences among Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake pocessors? What are their functionalities?

Newer architechtures/die shrinks (smaller manufacturing process). Each successive architecture is more efficient and slightly faster (3-10% faster).

 

Skylake (late 2015, early 2016) > Broadwell > Haswell (Now) > Ivy Bridge > Sandy Bridge > Nehlhelm.

Die size and architecture are the biggest differences.

 

Broadwell is a die shrink of haswell and skylake is a new architecture.

Right. for the user the main aspects are speed and efficiency.

 

Compatibility and feature upgrades come with newer Chipsets/PCH/Southbridge    Z77-Z87-Z97      X79-X99

Broadwell will be made using a smaller manufacturing process - 14nm, which will decrease the TDP of cpu - should be similar to Hasswell performace with lower power consumption = lower temps

Skylake will have a different microarchitecture (using the same 14nm manufacturing pr.)  which will increate it's performance compared to older models

 

Someone with knowledge about this, correct me if there's something wrong :P

The main difference is that haswell actualy exist and the other two doesn't.

CPUs AFAIK? What's that?

Broadwell is a tick , meaning a die shrik and some addicional IPC .

 

Skylake is a tock meaning arquitecural overall.

 

Someone correct me if IM wrong.

 

Cheers.

i believe intel will skip broadwell and go straight to skylake for desktop PC's (if anything)...otherwise both generations would have to reign at the same time and this is not good.

Also i think intel will not release anything for a while regardless of what anybody is saying they don't have to release any new products as they flat out dominate the market in every segment now...they have X99 for power users and workstations...the i7-4790K on the mainstream platform is a flawless chip for gamers and streamers and it will remain viable for YEARS too...i think intel will stick to haswell for a while on desktop guys.

Architecture. (Done with correcting. :P;) )

that may be the case. Broadwell is a die shrink of the Haswell architecture, but if the yields are bad for the larger chips, they could just bail on them for desktop and proceed with skylake at 14nm. But, like you say they don't even have to do anything at this point. they can focus all of their resources on perfecting smaller process nodes than trying to get haswell working at 14nm. sucks for 1150 users who were hoping to get one more upgrade if thats the case.

IMHO intel will cash in on haswell for a while...it must have costed them A TON of money in R&D to be the leaders they are now...the competition is now far under the carpet, so a wise move for them would be to keep working on next generations chip but at a much slower paste, investing less in R&D...while they are cashing on haswell and haswell-E. IMHO that is what's gonna happen in 2015.

i was kind of hoping to get something more from the to-be-released broadwell-K i5/i7..i have that 1150-with-plans-of-upgrade mind..

 

IMO, my planned upgrade from i3 to i5/i7 is still substantial..i just feel terrible NOW that i should've just gotten a pentium before as a place holder >_<
