CPU-World recently scored inside details of the forthcoming Intel Haswell Refresh processors. As is well known by now, Intel has decided to delay their "Tick" - the 14 nm die shrink, and introduce a refresh of the Intel Haswell processors instead, starting with the desktop models. While these "Haswell Refresh" models have new model numbers, they are no different from the current Haswell processors - just faster at the same price. They will therefore replace (not supplement) the current Haswell processors, although they will co-exist until stocks of the older models have exhausted.

ED#166 : Intel Haswell Refresh CPU Details Leaked Rev. 2.0 CPU-World recently scored inside details of the forthcoming Intel Haswell Refresh processors.

While these "Haswell Refresh" models have new model numbers, they are no different from the current Haswell processors - just faster at the same price. They will therefore replace (not supplement) the current Haswell processors, although they will co-exist until stocks of the older models have exhausted. In this update, we added the L3 Cache specifications to the list, and corrected the specifications of the Intel Core i5-4590T and Intel Core i3-4350 processors.

You can wait for the new refresh and the 9 series chipset. But it's not going to make a lot of difference. Then again, no one likes something old... Just wait for another month.
I need to upgrade. So I'll probably get the 3.6G. Sick about thinking about it... trinity still reboots and is only a matter of time before windows gets messed up again.
Z97 should be out 1 month after Haswell refresh according to news source. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
