Desktop Boradwell Is Here

With Skylake just around the corner you have to wonder if Intel was ever going to release that "tick" for the Z97 chipset.  Namely Broadwell.

As some of you know Broadwell was designed to be a mobile chip, low power but with decent performance however, the big claim to fame was the integrated iris Pro Graphics.

I got a chance to see Broadwell in action during Computex, most notably how well the processor could overclock.  Sadly, the chip had a hard limit which was well within the "air cooled" range so needless to say Haswell is still holds the OC crown. 

At least for a few more weeks.
