Why is Broadwell so fricking irrelevant these days? I still see people on here talking about Haswell and Skylake. What makes Broadwell different?

its older?
If you've used a Chromebook in the last 6 years it was likely a broadwell chip, I hate these little shits so much
haswell and skylake are sort of reference points when talking about optimization levels for assembly. Broadwell was just an incremental step within haswell architecture.
broadwell was a die shrink generation, it's just haswell 2.
no consumer desktop cpus iirc, only server, hedt, and mobile.
the type of people who would buy broadwell would have upgraded multiple times since then, so there's no "I don't need to upgrade ever, sandy bridge is enough" crowd. (they're right btw)

they were limited supply iirc and forgotten. they could run on H97 and Z97 motherboards
i looked for them for a good while to build my current pc but i couldn't find anything. i settled on 4690k. overclocked and still going strong 7 years later. i'm a fine wine kind of guy, next cpu will be a 10700k... after that i don't know. everything non-monolithic from intel seems like a sloppy mess and ryzen is ryzen with its buggy firmware and inherent ccx latency
those are neat chips, forgot about them. I nearly ended up with a 4690k as well, but I found a sandy bridge-ep xeon+mobo for cheap so I went with that. it's been 8 years with this pc, 10700k looks good but I'll probably end up with something AM5 or just egpu my 10th gen macbook
i have bought almost everything i need. i got top tier bin ddr4, the cpu as i said, solid W(orkstation) chipset motherbord right before they stopped production. i'm planning a 10 year future proof. along with windows server as a desktop (yes lol, not as weird as you think) i just never have to think about my hardware or OS ever except bimonthly security updates
but everything just works great and is enough for me 99% of the time i can't be arsed to build it. i'll probably stop procrastinating once intel battlemage comes around and use my current amd gpu for spaceheating with xmrig gpu friendly algos if i don't repurpose this PC as a powerful openbsd PF/router
you have to forgive them anon, they were rare (and pretty cool). which is why i wanted them
Broadwell was only in servers and laptops. Upgraded my server to a broadwell xeon from a haswell xeon. Performance is the same, but peak power consumption is reduced by half. Real reason is to get working turbo boost without sacrificing better idle c-states. With a 10core haswell with turbo unlock on all cores, that fricker would eat 200 watts.

morons
there were only two desktop cpus, released just months before the full skylake launch. irrelevant
you're thinking LGA2011-3. the real Broadwell desktop is the 577c. terrible value but the L4$ really did some heavy lifting for low latency processes and bridged the gap of early shitty ddr4 a similar case to the later Ryzen 3d chips but different process and different specs, arguably more impactful in 2015
Only the even releases were memorable. Odd releases don't matter until Tiger Lake.
i7-7700K
i get a slight feeling of disgust
kaby lake accomplished nothing
It was ever only paper launched with the 2 SKUs available instead of the usual 12+ SKUs that intel product managers like to shit out
And it was paper launched because 14nm had horrible yields early on (and was even delayed 6-12mths)
skylake is fire AF homie light it up fr fr on guap in hell
the move elimination on these cards is unappreciated mortals
mine still werks
Based 190W idle
lol that's pretty impressive temps for 190w idle if so
Good explanation about it.
I don't exactly remember what the difference was now, but I moved from Haswell to Broadwell to enable GPU pass through, Haswell was lacking VT-d, so maybe that?
don't care. still too poor to upgrade.
