It's confirmed! Broadwell has launced! Broadwell uses 14nm and it has only 65W TDP. Apparently, the unlocked processor are now tagged with C instead of K. I have to say it is rather pointless to buy Broadwell now as Skylake is also coming very soon with Z170 chipset.
I know that I'm just trying to make this sound better than it really is, but AMD still gives you the lowest $/frame. Other than that, pretty solid improvements I would say. A delta/improvement that large is almost suspicious.
The performance of Iris Pro 6200 shows us what we can get with integrated ram for the iGPU. However, HBM is much better suited for this than eDRAM is, so we should expect some serious performance from the Zen APUs if they do, in fact, have HBM, which they should.
If AMD has a brain they should also try to fix performance both hybrid cross fire because it would make the APUs a much more attractive option for budget gaming
Broadwell on desktop is not impressive to me. The cpu improvement is a laughable jump, and the igpu is nothing I care about. I bought a Xeon 1231-v3 like 2 weeks ago and frankly I don't care about the little jump I'd have got from waiting til now to buy the 1231-v4 or whatever its going to be called.
