Hello everyone, today I was looking into the support page of my motherboard and I found an bios update with this changelog

 

Z97-PRO BIOS 2205

1. Implement 5th-Generation Intel Core Processors code
*Full support of the new CPU requires necessary driver updates.
2. Support ASUS USB 3.1 PCIE add-on card 
3. Support NVMe

so what does it mean implementing 5th-Generation intel core processor code ?

 

is it broadwell related ?

isn't this a duplicate thread from a week ago?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

But didn't intel say that broadwell was going to require another platform ?

No, Skylake will be on the Z170/H170 chipset.  Skylake is what is just around the corner from Broadwell!
