Intel to release Haswell refresh early

Stefan Mileschin · 19th February 2014, 07:03

There is a Digitimes rumour coming out of Taiwan which suggests that there will be sooner-than-expected Haswell CPU refresh by Intel.

The 22nm Haswell family, which debuted in June 2013, will reportedly get 20 new desktop and mobile models added next month.

Citing its motherboard makers sources in Taiwan, Digitimes claims that the Haswell refresh would be timed with the release of new Intel 9-series chipset-based motherboards, also due out this Spring.

It does make sense. An earlier refresh would give Intel more selling time to the existing flagship family of CPUs, while exposing consumers to newer, potentially more power-friendly chips of the same name. It would be nice to see a more energy-efficient 4775 to replace the 4770 CPU for example.
