Where is Intel Broadwell? Hardware Editors Leo Waldock and Luke Hill discuss Broadwell which is due to be replaced by Skylake in a few months' time. The snag is that Intel hasn't yet released the laptop and desktop versions of Broadwell so the clock is ticking. Or is it tocking?
This means that right now desktop LGA1150 and Extreme LGA2011 are using the same generation of technology, although that happy state of affairs won't last much longer.
The 4th Gen. Haswell CPUs could be tricky to cool when you started overclocking, although the revised Devil's Canyon sorted things out nicely.
Talking points:
- Intel Broadwell and Skylake
- Haswell and Devil's Canyon
- LGA2011
- Liquid cooling for GPUs as well as CPUs
Cooling is a particular bugbear for reviewers who spend their lives testing hardware, so Leo and Luke have strong views on the subject. Liquid cooling is superb and the sooner we have liquid cooled graphics cards the better, at least on the high end models. Naturally Luke advocates liquid cooling so he can overclock his graphics card(s) even higher, but that's the sign of a true enthusiast.

I was thinking of upgrading next week but I don’t know weather to wait now or just upgrade.
There is an awful lot of echo in these videos, it’s not so bad when Leo is talking but when Luke’s talking his voice seems to reverberate more. Apart from that it’s another good vid, maybe try sticking a sock over the microphone or something.
Thanks for the feedback. I think my lack of a lapel didn’t help with the audio clarity as the microphone ended up being away from my mouth.
We will try to resolve this issue for future videos.
Luke
That’s cool, just thought you guys should know 🙂

I have dilemma of getting 4790k now or waiting for Skylake as it was spotted that it will have support for both DDR3 and DDR4 memory modules. I’m upgrading from AMD FX 8350 cpu.
Given DX 12 and OpenGL Vulcan, you may want to wait and see whether or not next-gen games perform well as expected. If they don’t, then get Skylake because you’ll be close to if not into its launch cycle.
