New Intel CPUs shipping to Hardware Manufacturers by the end of this year. EDIT: End of next year.
Haswell has barely reached market penetration and already they got a new one ready to go?
Geez, you would think it would be more profitable for them to slow down a bit and drag it out a bit.

So does anyone have any more details on the 14nm chips?? Names? Specs? Benefits? Better Graphics? Greater efficiency? Its the first I've heard of them. I'm still looking at decent haswell machines. We had a few good ones come out, MBA, XPS12, Vaio Pro, but it hardly reached any sort of market penetration…. Still a lot can happen in the next 3 months.

The Quark CPUs are different again, just a mini chip for smartwatches and micro devices etc.

EDIT: Ah wait up. Looks like PC&Tech Authority may have got the date wrong. Looks like it is due end of next year and will be named BROADWELL, and have 30% power efficiency increase :)

    They've already been listed here. It's already known that broadwell will follow haswell

    Broadwell is the "tick" cycle so basically it's a die shrink of Haswell architecture, i.e no new features just better efficiency so laptop battery life goes up, but this is a double edge sword, great for Intel because early adopters will have bought a Haswell pc and now will be buying a Broadwell pc, not so good for the rest as it creates confusion/hesitation as people put off their purchase or just skip Haswell and go straight for Broadwell, but on the good side when Broadwell comes out expect big price cuts on Haswell!

    Standard operating procedure. Same as sandy/ivy bridge.
