Broadwell mainstream?

[ImNotThere]

i notice that broadwell is supported by lga 1150 but it appears that no 1150 chipsets support broadwell, was there any mainstream 5th gen skus or is it the same deal as nvidias 8th gen?

[Oshino Shinobu]

Broadwell is supported on Z97 and H97 for the desktop chips. 

 

It's just that Broadwell was almost entirely non-desktop (or at least, non-desktop focused) and the few desktop SKUs were mostly seen in pre-built systems. It may as well have been skipped on desktop.

5th generation cpus, codenamed broadwell were only for mobile and extreme series, as well as some limited oem chips like the i7 5775c, 5960x, and the i5-5200u.

If I remember correctly, I believe that was indeed the case. A quick look online tells me that there were only 2 5th gen CPU sold commercially, the i7-5775C and the i5-5675C.

so just like the 8th gen nvidia chips? oem parts?

H97 and Z97 were the only chipsets that supported Broadwell and Haswell-R out of the box. There's only a handful of chips for the desktop that were released retail:

 

Intel® Core™ i5-5675C 

Intel® Core™ i7-5775C

 

Plus a bunch of Xeon E3 V4 chips

The 5960X is actually a Haswell part   Haswell-E that is.

They fucked up with Sandy Bridge E using the same numbering as Ivy Bridge (38xx/39xx) while the 2800 and 2900 series only existed in laptops. GG. They just numbered forward from there.
