Broadwell CPUs?

[SuperCookie78]

Will Intel ever release their broadwell chips? I know they said they would but it's still not being able to be found without a high price. And If you wondering I want broadwell because it performs better than sky lake in games because of its 128MB L4 cache according to tech report.

They were released a looong time ago...

PS: the only reason to get Broadwell over skylake is iGPU, otherwise the extra price isn't worth

They did, and then quickly released Skylake a few months after.

Not in America.

Broadwell is a joke. Unless you're building a HTPC and heat and power consumption is a concern, get haswell or preferably skylake

They did release it. It was just very underwhelming and they did it quietly.

Well I'm planning a htpc that will have a dual 80mm rad for a processor and a gtx 970. And when you do don't use the igpu the eDram turns into L4 cache. Here is proof http://techreport.com/review/28751/intel-core-i7-6700k-skylake-processor-reviewed/6

On Amazon, it's been out for a while there, but it is a ridiculous price. You can get a 4590 and a 750ti/R9 270 for the same price as the i7 broadwell.

They are supposedly having massive supply issues atm with all their 14 mm processes.

See the news article about broadwell and skylake stock in NA/SA

No idea what the fuck happened, but apparently it was a pretty darn big incident to not be able to release their cpus even 4 weeks behind schedule enough to fill the admittedly tiny demand.
