So DDR4 is confirmed fro the EP platform atleast. But look on those speeds. All down to 1333Mhz. That doesnt sound like a big confidence in DDR4 in terms of density/speed from the start.

Else integrated VRM like all Haswell CPUs, one of the major revolutions. I wonder what the poor mobo makers will do.

Only shame is no simple GPU. Either in the chipset or CPU. I guess we will still see Matrox G200 chips being used.

Don't worry about the poor motherboard makers. They'll charge us the same price for something that costs them far less to produce. They'll be fine.

Nice to know that there will be a HW-E, potentially with 10 core. That sucker's going to be a monster at Folding@Home. Here's hoping Intel has a better thermal solution for Haswell!
