Bits 'n Chips seems to have gotten it wrong this time.
That slide only talks in product names, not architecture names. If Broadwell-EP really were dead, I would expect them to call Skylake-EP "v4".
We know that Purley (i.e. Skylake EP) supports faster DDR4 speeds than DDR4-2400 based on the earlier leaks:
Hah, you got ripped off by WCCFtech: http://wccftech.com/intel-assures-b...processors-q4-15-feature-22-cores-44-threads/

EDIT: Though I doubt it really is cancelled. Server vendors get pissed at that sort of change.
Probably the same as Ivy Bridge-E did over Sandy Bridge-E; lower power usage and slightly better performance-per-clock, but not much else. At most, I'd expect the 6960X to have a higher base clock than the current 5960X.
Worse overclocking? :whiste:What will Broadwell offer X99 enthusiasts over the current Haswell line?

Perhaps the 8-core SKU will move down the price spectrum? So you have a 6 core 6820k, 8 core 6930k, and 8 core 6960X.
