Kaveri is still launching in Dec. 2013. Kaveri desktop will be in early Jan. 2014 and will hit mobile products a few months later as the OEM's mess around with their product lineups and such.

Broadwell is just a die-shrunken version of Haswell. Intel has been focusing on lowering power consumption for years now. The desktop version will still do "gaming", obviously. The only things about it is that max OC headroom might drop down yet again.

Because people who consider themselves proper gamers probably also consider themselves as tech enthusiasts & like to know as much about the industry as possible?

This is the 'tech' section, it's not like there is news constantly flowing through it, we can't be picky about the news topics we get.

Just for the record, I agree with you, and I didn't add any disagrees to you. Not sure why people disagreed with you, but this site might as well do away with the "Agree - Disagree" system because it's fairly stupid. A normal "upvote, downvote" system would encourage people to only downvote posts when they are outright trolling or just being dicks or something.

Anyway, yeah Broadwell won't do anything for gaming, but did Haswell do anything, and did Ivy Bridge do anything? Not really, besides 5% incremental performance upgrades which gave Sandy Bridge users no valid reason to upgrade. This won't change anytime soon. We don't really need more CPU performance for games anyway, as most of them are GPU bound.
