Broadwell (microarchitecture)

Broadwell
Predecessor Haswell
Successor Skylake

In keeping with Intel's tick-tock principle, the 14 nm shrink of Haswell is due out the year after the refresh of the introduction of the microarchitecture and will be codenamed Broadwell.[1][2] Broadwell will adopt the Multi-Chip Package (MCP) design. Broadwell should be widely available in 2015.[3]

Broadwell will introduce some instruction set architecture extensions:[4][5]

Broadwell is expected to launch in three major forms:[8]
(1) Desktop version (LGA1150 socket): Broadwell-D
(2) Mobile/laptop version (PGA socket): Broadwell-M
(3) BGA version:

  • (a) 35 W and 55 W TDP classes: Broadwell-H (For "all-in-one" systems, Mini-ITX form factor motherboards, and other small footprint formats.)
  • (b) Less than 15 W TDP class (SoC): Broadwell-U (For Intel's Ultrabook and NUC platforms.)
  • (c) Less than 10 W TDP class (SoC): Broadwell-Y (For tablets and certain Ultrabook-class implementations.)
